Importance of Tyre Pressure Monitoring




At RMK Tyres, we deal in a variety of world class tyre brands associated accessories that are suitable for all kinds of high end cars in Bahrain
Tyre pressure is basically the most fundamental and important part of automobile safety. An under-inflated tyre runs the risk of poor performance and puncture, an overinflated tyre has a tendency to burst. So in order to ensure vehicular safety and optimum performance, the easiest and most economical way is to monitor tyre pressure. These days a lot of vehicles come with Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) equipped with it. But there still are a massive number of vehicles without this system. The owners of these vehicles have to be extra vigilant towards monitoring their vehicle’s tyre pressure. Following are a few benefits of regularly monitoring tyre pressure:
1.    Saves fuel consumption
A well-inflated tyre reduces fuel consumption as it ensures optimum tyre speed. Reduction in fuel consumption also ensures reduced performance costs thus saving your vehicle’s annual maintenance costs.
2.    Optimizes vehicular performance
Maintaining optimum tyre pressure is synonymous with a smooth and near perfect ride as properly maintained tyre pressure ensures optimum vehicular performance. As tyre pressure monitoring saves fuel, it reduces co2 emission from the vehicle and thus improves and optimizes vehicle’s performance. It also optimizes vehicle’s carrying capacity and pick-up speed.
3.    Improves safety
Overinflated and underinflated tyres run the risk of tyre bursting and puncture respectively. A properly maintained tyre maintains optimum temperature and prevents the tyre from overheating. Also, it reduces friction between the tyre and the surface thus ensuring the safety of the ride.
4.    Longevity of tyre
Since proper tyre pressure offers protection to the tyres against excess friction and temperature control, tyre pressure maintenance automatically increases tyre life by optimizing performance.
TPMS equipment comes in two variations direct TPMS and indirect TPMS. Direct TPMS are the sensors installed directly in the tyre whereas indirect TPMS regulate tyre pressure by monitoring its speed and other factors. For vehicles without TPMS equipment, it is most advisable to get the tyre pressure checked every three to four months. Especially during winter or fall seasons, when there is a contrasting fluctuation in atmospheric temperatures, it becomes all the more important. Also, you should always get your vehicle’s air pressure monitored during the end of these seasons.
With these and many more hidden benefits of regular tyre pressure monitoring, it is high time we all get out our super favourites maintained in luxury, style,and safety with regular tyre pressure monitoring.
