Under Pressure: Your TPMS System
Flats, blow outs, skids and longer stopping distances can all be the result of Rocky Hill folks driving around on under-inflated tires. Now, it’s hard to tell when a radial tire is under-inflated but your service technician at ProTech Automotive can help you. The tire may not look low until it gets below 20 pounds – which is significantly under-inflated.
Obviously, TMPS systems don’t come free for Rocky Hill car buyers. U.S. government studies have estimated the net costs of the TPMS system itself, maintaining the system, replacement of worn or broken parts and tire repair cost increases. The costs are partially offset for Rocky Hill drivers by savings in fuel and tire wear. There’s also a saving in property damage and travel delay. The net cost is estimated to be between $27 and $100.
The government predicts fewer fatal accidents. They estimate that is will cost between three and nine million dollars for every life saved. This new safety equipment will help Rocky Hill motorists avoid the most common vehicle failure, and possibly a catastrophic accident.
