AWTI Tire Pressure Monitor

Why is tire pressure monitoring important?

Under inflated tires lead to tread seperation and tire failure resulting in 40,000 accidents, 33,000 injuries, and over 650 deaths.

Low tire pressure decreases MPG by as much as 3.3%. It wastes gas, and increases green-house gases.

Tire Pressure Monitor Benefits

Fuel Efficiency

Tires low on pressure require more fuel to maintain constant speed. Over 2 billion gallons of fiuel are wasted per year.

Extended Tire Life

For transportation companies, the cost for tires is second only to fuel costs. Running low on pressure causes tires to break down prematurely. The DOT estimates that 37% of all tires on American roadways are under-inflated by 20 PSI or more.

Decreased Down Time

If a truck is down because of tire problems, it costs money. Most transportation companies estimate truck downtime at $250/hr or $4,000 for each day.

Going "Green"

Each year, each vehicle with under-inflated tires emits 250 pounds of greenhouse gases.

Two Levels of Low Pressure Alerts

Pressure alerts drivers at two (2) low pressure levels, offering greater safety and savings for drivers. The first alert sounds at a 12.5% drop in pressure with the second alert alarming at a 25% drop in pressure.
