A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a safety feature designed to monitor the air pressure in a vehicle's tires, alerting the driver when the pressure drops below a certain threshold. TPMS helps ensure that tires are properly inflated, which can improve vehicle performance, increase fuel efficiency, and enhance safety by reducing the risk of tire blowouts or uneven tire wear. There are two main types of TPMS: direct and indirect. Direct TPMS uses sensors inside the tires to measure the pressure and transmit data to a display on the vehicle's dashboard, while indirect TPMS estimates tire pressure by monitoring changes in wheel rotation speed. Most modern vehicles are equipped with TPMS as a standard feature, and it can be a valuable addition to older vehicles as an aftermarket upgrade. By providing real-time pressure data, TPMS helps drivers maintain their tires in optimal condition, ensuring a smoother and safer driving experience.
