FTM failure??

After changing to winter tires, I have gotten 4 times of FTM (flat tire indicator) light on my dash/idrive. Every time I check the tires, they are in good PSI range, all 35 - 38 range. It has been about a month changed to winter tires, it scare me when this FTM light comes on during hwy drive, since this winter tires aren't RFT.
Do you think this is something I need to take it to dealership or common thing?
I live far from the dealership so it requires my day off at work lol.

I was able to reset mine through the idrive system, not sure how to do it if you don't have that option.

without idrive, do it through the OBC. Flip the OBC switch up until you get to the runflat symbol on the dash. hold down the BC button to re-calibrate.

also note that if your tires aren't all the same size (abnormal wear on one tire for example), your flat tire monitor may light up.
