Checking tyre pressures regularly is vital, yet often overlooked. But now you can keep an eye on them from the comfort of the driver’s seat, with the new Tyresure Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
Research reveals that a 6psi drop in pressure can lead to a 10 per cent increase in fuel consumption, plus accelerate tyre wear. Safety is also affected –wrongly inflated tyres can reduce lateral grip, extend braking distances and increase the chances of a blow-out. Tyresure’s TPMS has sensors installed in each wheel, and information is relayed to a display unit in the vehicle – either on start-up or all the time. Normal pressures and temperatures are displayed in green text, while red signifies a problem. The unit is designed to react within three seconds of any abnormalities.
The device can be retro-fitted to all sizes and weights of car and the seven-year battery life means it requires minimal maintenance.
