The summer tires on my Kia Soul EV have whatever gizmos inside them needed to allow the car to read the tire pressure. The winter tires do not.

When I switch from winter tires to summer tires, it takes the car a few kilometres to realize this, resulting in a yearly, fleeting, “oh no, something’s broken” feeling in the car.

Documenting this here to remind myself of this in spring 2022. And to record May 10 as my winter to summer tire switchover date.
