Any technology that helps reduce the number of motorists who drive on under-inflated tyres, and therefore reduces the number of accidents on the road, should be embraced by the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, although TPMS is an excellent tool, there is the possibility it could encourage drivers to act only when the alarm is raised and not to carry out basic checks regularly, which are so important. TPMS will only detect a reduction in tyre pressure so it\u2019s essential that drivers continue to regularly check tread depths and look for any damage, including penetrating objects such as nails and screws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all have warning lights to show when our vehicle\u2019s oil is low or to indicate there is a problem with the engine, but we still regularly check oil levels and have our vehicle serviced \u2013 it\u2019s the same with tyre pressures and TPMS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michelin advises that tyre pressures should be checked at least once a month and before long journeys, however results from its regular Fill Up With Air events indicate a high number of drivers are neglecting their tyres.<\/p>\n<p>Tests on a total of 3,722 vehicles in 2012 revealed that 30 per cent of drivers had tyre pressures classed as \u2018dangerous\u2019 \u2013 between 8 and 14 psi under-inflated, and nine per cent of pressures were classed as \u2018very dangerous\u2019 \u2013 more than 14 psi below their vehicle\u2019s recommended level. Only 28 per cent of vehicles tested were found to have the correct pressures as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>Although TPMS has been available since the 1980s, new regulations state that from November 2012 all newly homologated cars need TPMS as standard fitment, and in November 2014 TPMS will be required on all newly manufactured cars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelin\u2019s Head of Fleet Dave Crinson is issuing a warning to drivers against becoming complacent with tyre pressures following the introduction of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2302,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[779],"class_list":["post-4947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-michelin","tag-michelin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
