Question for those who have 17" winter wheels for their F-Sport NX: With winter tires taken into consideration, is there any significant sacrifice in handling?

Interesting note regarding TPMS sensors. I purchased the OEM sensors from Lexus and had them installed by Costco. I opted to not have them program them, because I wanted to try out the Carista app for TPMS programming (which is still not available yet... ).

Surprisingly, there is no low tire pressure warning light. This is unlike the current IS, which stays lit and flashes every 20 mins or so. Of course, the pressure readings in the information display are "--".I would think the same situation would apply where there were no sensors installed at all. A tip for those interested in saving a few hundred bucks and forgoing sensors.

It's quite random. Sometimes it will not light up and after driving an hour it will blink and then light up. Sometimes it will light up once you start your car.

My TPMS just lit up about a month after the winters were installed. They flash for about 1-2 minutes and then stays lit. I have not driven it for more than an hour, so it good to know that it might blink again.
