TPMS now helping drivers with their tyre pressures
We wish to share with you the crucial TPMS Tools because TPMS sensors must be fitted on newly produced vehicles.
A TPMS Valve is an electrical device used to keep track of the tyre pressure in a car and give the driver real-time feedback on the dashboard.
Do TPMS Sensors Need to Be Used?
Beginning in 2014, all new vehicles must have a specific type of valve known as a TPMS, or “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.”
Where can I find TPMS Valves?
There are 4 valves inside each tyre of the car, and the TPMS sensor is located just behind each valve to provide real-time air pressure, temperature, and battery level readings.
Additionally, these valves can be observed using a suitable TPMS Diagnostic Tool. To identify any difficulties that the driver may not be aware of, a garage can carry this out before aligning the wheels or changing and balancing the tyres.
Correct Tyre Pressures
When we put new tyres on our cars, everything should be fine. The correct tyre pressures and the wheel alignment will determine the way that your new tyres will wear and the amount of money that you will throw away?
What do I mean?
Well, you should keep an eye open to see if your tyres are wearing evenly or not. By “equally,” I mean wearing straight across the tread equally. The general problem is with your tyres wearing off at one edge. Either the inner edge or the outer edge Of course, this as most drivers seam to know is usually a wheel alignment problem and can be
separated with the other money waster.
Correct tyre pressures are usually spotted when it is a little too late and premature tyre wear occurs. We should, in my opinion, check and adjust our tyre pressures at least once a week, but this is often not the case, and the pressures are ignored.
What are the signs
Under inflation will wear your tyres away at the edges, and your car may not handle very well.
Over inflation will wear your tyres away in the centre, causing your car to fail to handle well, resulting in a hard ride and over steering.
These problems can be corrected by inflating your tyres at regular intervals. Even if you are unsure what to do, it is critical to have the proper tyre pressures.
Importantly, you should visit your local independent tyre dealer. They would be pleased to check that your car has the correct tyre pressure and is safe for the road.
We at Pellon Tyres in Halifax literally drop everything when a customer wants their tyre pressures correcting.
We feel that it is such an important thing to do that we attend to any customer who wants their pressure checked immediately.
Since writing this article then TPMS systems are now taking over. As a result, the task of alerting the driver to falling tyre pressures was created.
