Advantages of TPMS sensors and correct tire pressure

PZPO study

Correct tire pressure is the key to increasing road safety. Do you know that according to the 2018 report of the Polish Tire Industry Association. driving with the correct pressure reduces the risk of an accident by approx. 35%! In the same study, drivers were asked about the risk of driving with under-inflated wheels. They most often mentioned worse vehicle control (42%), faster tire wear (32%), higher fuel consumption (27%), longer braking distance (21%), and deteriorating driving comfort (6%).

The responses show that drivers' awareness of this topic is high. Pressure monitoring with TPMS sensors has many advantages for drivers and their cars. Thanks to the TPMS system, the situations mentioned in the survey are supposed to prevent this and they do it quite well. Below are the advantages of having TPMS sensors in your car and the advantages of caring for the correct tire pressure.

✅Discover the benefits of using TPMS sensors.

• Correct tire pressure - maintaining the correct tire pressure affects factors such as fuel consumption, tire wear, and driving safety and comfort.
• Up-to-date information - you know that it is not so simple to estimate "by eye" whether the tire pressure is adequate. Having TPMS pressure sensors in your car, you will have precise information about the pressure in your tires and you will be informed if something changes in this topic.
• Convenience - you have the information on the tray, all you have to do is inflate the wheel in the garage or at the gas station. No more walking around the car to assess whether the wheels may have the correct amount of air.
• Safety - the regulation introduced by the European Union in 2014 on the mandatory equipping of new cars with the TPMS system was dictated by increasing road safety and, consequently, reducing the number of accidents caused by inadequate tire pressure.

✅Find out about the benefits of correct tire pressure.

• Correct combustion - the pressure in the wheels, which will be within the standards adopted by the car manufacturer, has a positive effect on the proper combustion of the fuel. If the pressure is too low, fuel consumption will be higher than standard. Information on the level to which the wheels should be refilled can be found on the sticker on the fuel filler / door.
• Less tire wear - you will reduce the wear of the tread and thus you will cover more kilometers and drive more seasons on the same tires.
• Comfortable driving - you have better control over your vehicle when cornering and a shorter braking distance, which improves the safety of you, your passengers and other road users.
• Road safety - you will reduce the likelihood of being involved in a road accident, which is confirmed by Polish and European road safety reports.
• Caring for the environment - it is a positive consequence of proper tire pressure and proper combustion. When fuel consumption is normal, less harmful substances get into the atmosphere.
