Band-mounted TPMS sensors are time-consuming and costly to service, risking labor delays and higher maintenance expenses. Valve-stem TPMS sensors remain simpler, more reliable, and easier to maintain, ...

Making the case for a tire pressure monitoring system is easy. Calculate only the labor cost of regular tire pressure checks and you'll see the ROI almost immediately. Figure about 15 minutes per ...

If you look at transportation over the last 40 years, there have been a lot of changes—and truck tires are no exception. In the early 1980s, tube-type tires on multipiece rims were still quite common ...

Tire shops have turned a once simple errand into a surprisingly technical decision point: when you buy a fresh set of rubber, should you also spring for new tire pressure sensors hiding inside each ...

Tires have traditionally been exceedingly difficult to manage. That began to change over a decade ago, as the first tire sensors began giving fleets and drivers rudimentary data on tire pressure (and ...

Switching tires or running lower-than-normal tire pressures off-road that keep setting off the TPMS warning light? Here’s a tip: Put the sensors in a pressurized container. We don’t recommend running ...

Modern cars can do a lot of impressive stuff. The onboard diagnostic (OBD) system can tell us when there's a vehicle malfunction by activating the check engine light, while advanced car safety ...

Seasons change, and shifting temperatures are in the forecast. Even when it doesn’t feel like much, the expansion of hot air or shrinkage of cold air often impacts tire pressures, which is why you’re ...

A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an auto component that helps keep you informed when tire pressure drops or rises to unsafe levels. The system works by comparing each tire to a programmed ...
