Tyresure - Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)
We all know how important having the correct tyre pressure is. Yet according to analysis by leading tyre manufacturers up to 90% of vehicles on our roads do not have the correct tyre pressure, leading to increased fuel consumption, and accelerating tyre wear.
Many vehicles now have low profile tyres fitted, a 20% decrease in pressure is virtually impossible to determine visually, yet this will increase fuel consumption by 10% to 15% and tyre wear by 20% - 30%.
Tyresure TPMS is a wireless system that constantly monitors tyre pressure and temperature, alerting the driver if the tyre pressure or temperature are abnormal. The system is simple to set up and monitors the tyre pressure 24/7.
