Truck Tire Failures

Breakdown! The 2nd most common cause of tire failures accounts for 26% of commercial vehicle breakdowns. Only about 15% of tire-induced breakdowns are due to sudden tire damage; the remaining 85% start with slow leaks.

PressurePro identifies these slow leaks and ... Read More

Most “blowouts” are not really blowouts, but happen ... Read More

At the office, the alarm went off and the tire’s pressure was dropping fast. ... Read More


Commercial Motor Vehicle TPMS

The load-carrying capability of a tire is critically linked to the inflation pressure. Fleet operators will generally select a particular “target pressure” for their trucks based on the unique load, operating, and environmental conditions in which they operate.

PressurePro Echo Repeater

Several weeks ago, we installed an Echo Repeater for a Volvo truck which pulls a 35? fifth wheel plus a car behind that!  (Overall length of the vehicles was 65?.)  This was surely a daunting task for PressurePro, so an optional Echo Repeater was installed to help boost the radio signal from the tire Sensors to the Monitor, providing ...
