I had a Flat Tire, and replaced all 4 tires with non-run flat tire (Michelin Sports). But I still have the Flat Tire indicator on.
How do we reset it?
I's rather not take it to the dealer, there must be a sequence of commands that we can perform. Does anybody know?
Thanks.

It's in the manual, so check me. In I-drive under vehicle settings choose reset FTM or something close to that. Then fire up the vehicle and drive approximately ten minutes until FTM can calibrate the rotation speed of each wheel. When you have driven far enough, FTM will show activated or something like that. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

On the i-drive press the '"i", then vehicle settings, on the top of that menu select FTM and follow the instructions to reinitialize. This must be done while the vehicle is not moving and the ignition on. After you follow the instructions, drive off and the flat tire warning will go off.

.....but if the drive isn't long enough to finish the calibration do not worry as it will just carry on calibrating when you move off again. Clever eh
