What is TPMS Technology?
TPMS systems alert the driver when the pressure of their tyres changes to unsafe levels. This is achieved through a set of sensors which are installed in each tyre that send constant pressure readings wirelessly to a receiver unit installed in the vehicle. This way, the driver is kept aware of the tyre pressure at all times.
What are the benefits of TPMS equipped vehicles?
Tyres can lose up to half their air pressure before appearing to be under-inflated. All tyres lose pressure "naturally" at a rate of 0.2 bar (2.9psi) every 3 months. Under inflated tyres are not only a safety hazard, but they also increase running costs.
Safety:
* Up to 4,800,000 Australian Motorists are riding around on under-inflated tyres
* 80% of motorists fail to regularly check their tyres
* 75% of roadside flats are preceded by a slow leak or under inflation The most critical safety component on a vehicle (tyre pressure), is commonly overlooked until its often too late.
Installing a TPMS unit allows for the constant monitoring of tyre pressure, hence improving braking efficiency and reducing accidents related to under or over inflated tyres.
Cost Savings:
Fuel consumption increases when tyres are incorrectly inflated. Research shows that tyres which are under-inflated by 6 PSI can increase fuel consumption by 2% and tyre wear by 25%.
Correct tyre inflation saves money!
