Importance of your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

Without tires, your vehicle would not move; with bad tires, the safety and comfort of the occupants of your vehicle will be put at risk. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System was designed to help improve the efficiency of your tires and the overall performance of your car.

How does the tire pressure monitoring system work?

There are two types of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems and they both perform the same basic functions which are to improve your car’s handling, reduce fuel consumption, reduce the wear and tear of your tires and to reduce the braking distance of your vehicle. The Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System conveys information about the pressure of your tires from inside the tire assembly to your car’s computer. The Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring System measures the pressure in your tires by measuring the rotational speed of your wheels using speed sensors. This is done through the Anti-lock Braking system of your vehicle.

In order to meet up with the manufacturer’s standards and recommendations, it is important that your vehicle has its own Tire Pressure Monitoring System to improve performance and ensure your safety.
