Pressure is a key element in all of the physical sciences. From making sure that the sun keeps burning to ensuring that the human body is able to stay alive, almost everything depends at some level on maintaining a very specific amount of pressure. The tyres on your vehicle are no exception. If they’re overinflated, they’re more likely to burst when you run into potholes and such. If they’re underinflated, they’ll waste fuel, take longer to stop, and be more easily damaged. So it’s critical to get that “just right” Goldilocks-level amount of tyre pressure. That involves keeping an eye on your tyre pressure constantly, using something called a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
It’s easy to set up tyre sensors on your vehicle – even a kid can do it – and a TPMS will make it impossible to ignore when your tyres have too much or too little pressure. With both a visual tyre pressure monitor and an audible alarm, you’ll know as soon as the pressure in your tyres has dropped to dangerous levels, or if you’ve accidentally overinflated them. Then, armed with that knowledge, you can fix the problem, making your vehicle safer and more efficient.
Even though it might seem counterintuitive, if you don’t normally think about tyre pressure, you actually need a TPMS more. With a TPMS, forgetting to check your tyre pressure stops being an issue – the TPMS will check the pressure for you, and let you know when you need to take action. The majority of drivers don’t check their tyre pressure often enough, and only think about it when something bad happens, unaware that they’re losing money on fuel and compromising the safety of their vehicles. Don’t be like them – buy a tyre pressure monitoring system and know that you’ll be making your driving experience cheaper and safer.
