TPMS - Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Does the shop you go to have the equipment to properly test and repair the TPMS system on your vehicle?
Why Proper Air Pressure Matters - If you keep the proper air pressure in your tires, it helps your tires last longer, helps you save money on fuel, helps your car handle better and safer.
Check tire pressure regularly - Almost everyone forgets about their tires until something goes wrong. This is where the TPMS comes in. This system warns you when the pressure has dropped. Did you know tires lose pressure daily? In cool weather, a tire loses one or two pound per month. In warm weather, a tire can lose even more. Even if your vehicle has TPMS, it is a good practice to regularly check your tires, even the spare.
What Is The Right Pressure? Normally, there is a tire placard attached to your door post, or door edge. The pressures are also listed in your owners manual. This will list the tire size and pressure for the tires as recommended by the manufacturer. You should always watch your treadwear, as the listed pressures may need adjusted to gain the most even treadwear.
