Avoid problems on the road and keep your tire pressure up with a wireless tire pressure monitoring system. These systems come in many styles and models that may or may not use batteries. Systems with batteries typically have a non-replaceable battery attached to each sensor. Most systems do use batteries and are designed so the sensors sit inside the wheel next to the valve stem. You can find systems for your motorcycle, RV, truck, trailer, sedan, or SUV. Many systems read the tire pressure as well as the temperature, and some systems offer predictive analysis.
You will need to make sure the system is compatible with your vehicle and phone. Some systems will only use the dashboard interface, and some use alarms along with lights.
Most sensors are built to last five to 12 years and average seven years on the road. They usually transmit using a radio signal and require a small lithium battery for each sensor.
Some sensors are part of a system with an app that keeps data for fleet managers. These sensors can be used for rental vehicles, heavy-duty trucks used in the trades, and commercial hauling trucks. Commercial systems help managers keep real-time data organized using the cloud and make strategic decisions. Accessible data makes it easier to decide when to rotate or replace tires and communicate with each driver.
These types of systems can help save many hours drivers would have spent logging miles and noting tire pressure. Smart systems can help managers and private vehicle owners assess permanent tire damage before a blowout occurs.
