525 and 530 in the US without sports pack come with the Conti's on the 138 rims (17x7.5) and they are not runflats (exactly what I have on my car.
Just tp be the pessimest, but if they checked the tires and found no leaks (and a leak that fast should be easy to check) and it is happening to three tires, any chance there is someone messing with your tires and letting air out?
If not the dealer should be able to diagnose the problem.

I have also noticed that sometimes when the car goes over any imperfections on the road, eg. patches redone on the road, the FTM comes on. I cold be wrong here, I don't know. And I don't drive like a maniac.

Don't have a clue what 94v and cv95 mean.
The explantion to your tire size 225/50 R17 94V is:
* 225 means the tires breadth in millimeters (225 mm = about 8.9 inches)
* 50 stands for the profile ratio (the tires hight is 50 % of the tires crosssection breadth)
* R means Radial
* 17 is the circumference measure in inches
* 94 tells you how much the tire has carrying capacity
* V stands for the speed rate, V means constant speeds up to 150 miles/hour
Q = up to 160 km/h
S = 180 km/h
T = 190 km/h
H = 210 km/h
V = 240 km/h
W = 270 km/h
Y = 300 km/h
1 km/h = 0.6214 mph
