I am looking at buying some rims and winter tyres for my 2024 pFL Octavia. Are there any special TMPS considerations to be taken into account when selecting rims, or is it sufficient to stick with the correct dimensions for rims and tyres and the TMPS will just work?

Just stick to the correct size and it will work. TPMS on the Octavia is read by the ABS sensors, so when changing the wheel set, you need to set the correct tyre pressures and let the car know that you've set the pressures.

I had similar concerns.  The most important thing is the PCD and wheel offset. I have a 2021 Octavia and the TPMS works using the ABS sensors - if the tyre looses pressure it will rotate at a different speed and raise the alarm - your wheels have no sensors. If a car has wheel sensors, the infotainment system will tell you the live tyre pressures.

My car came with 17” alloys and I use 16” steel wheels fitted with winter tyres, during the winter season.

When you swap the wheels you will get an alarm to tell you to check tyre pressures on all wheels. You do have to stop the engine, get out the car, get back in the car before you can set the tyre pressures on the touchscreen. I suppose this is so that you can’t reset the tyre pressures without first getting out the car.

 

I hope this helps.
