Tyre Pressure Monitoring Information

Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are a major step forward in motoring safety. Maintaining proper tyre pressure is essential for the safety and performance of any vehicle. It also plays a significant role in decreasing fuel consumption and extending tyre life.

All tyres lose inflation over time and, as many modern vehicles have extended service intervals, tyres can become dangerously under-inflated without regular checking by the vehicle driver.

In addition to increased fuel consumption and tyre wear, long periods of driving with low tire pressures can cause additional stress on the tyre sidewalls. This results in increased operating temperatures that can lead to premature tyre failure. In a worst-case scenario, under-inflation can lead to a tyre blow-out or tread separation. Tyres operating with low pressures can also affect the vehicle's handling and performance.

TPMS constantly monitors the tyres for changes in pressure and temperature. Should the user configurable limits be exceeded, an indicator draws the driver's attention to the problem, enabling them to rectify the problem before suffering a blow-out, with potentially disastrous results
