Environmental Impact

Recently the Green Advocate “Southeast Green” gave recognition to tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). Southeast Green serves as an organization working to connect communities and businesses to sustainable and green living.

Drivers and fleets of all types are beginning to understand the significant benefits TPMS provides.  The increase in awareness of carbon emissions and lower fuel use, rising gas prices, the increased costs of tires and the understanding of the relationship of low tire pressure to accidents, injuries and deaths, as well as insurance costs are stimulating strong interest in maintaining proper tire pressure. 

As a leader in the TPMS market, PressurePro shares why tire pressure monitoring systems can have such an impact on safety and savings during travel.

Reasons to always keep your tires properly inflated:

• Vehicle Safety – Proper tire inflation greatly reduces the potential of a tire blowout that can lead to unwanted road-side emergencies, damage to vehicle, and even personal injury.
• Accuracy/Reliability – Real time TPMS allows drivers to quickly respond to an audible beep and a visual alert emitted by the alarm when the tire pressure falls to dangerous levels. Aftermarket TPMS can usually detect any air leakage in seconds.
• Improved Fuel Economy – The Deparment of Transportation estimates that 5 million gallons of fuel per day (over 2 billion per year) are wasted due to low tire pressure. Under-inflated tires increase the rolling resistance of vehicles and, correspondingly,decrease their fuel economy. By providing real time tire pressure readings, TPMS helps drivers maintain optimal pressure allowing increased fuel efficiency and big savings at the pumps.
• Increased Tire & Tread Life – When a tire is under-inflated, more pressure is placed on the casing of the tire, causing the tread to wear more rapidly than it would if the tire were inflated to the proper pressure. TPMS provides the information needed to maximize tire and tread life.
• Enhanced Vehicle Performance – Tires with low air pressures require greater stopping distances and cause deterioration in tire performance. TPMS provides the information drivers need to allow optimum performance of vehicles through greater stability, handling and braking in both wet and dry conditions.
