TPMS Advantages
A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an efficient and effective
solution to many current automotive safety issues. TPMS will help minimize
driving risks and reduce fuel consumption. Some benefits include:
z
Ensures safe driving conditions.
Tyre pressures can alter ride comfort and handling response.
z
Minimises chances of tyre blowout.
Blowouts are a growing cause of road accidents. Even if a car can recover
from a blowout, the damaged tyre left behind is an even greater hazard.
z
Reduces time taken to inspect tyres.
It can be very time consuming to walk around large vehicles to inspect
each tyre. A TPMS will help pinpoint a faulty tyre to save time. Everybody
from driving enthusiasts, to small business owners, even nation-wide fleet
operators can benefit from the time saved by a TPMS.
z
Reduces running costs.
A properly inflated tyre ensures maximum fuel efficiency in all driving
conditions. When a tyre is underinflated, it causes more rolling resistance,
significantly increasing fuel consumption and engine and transmission
wear.
z
Extends tyre life
Tyres can be an expensive necessity especially in trucks or sports cars. An
underinflated tyre wears quicker meaning it needs replacing sooner.
