Think TPMS doesn’t matter? Think again. Let’s go over some facts about tire inflation and how TPMS keeps drivers safe on the road.

NHTSA estimates TPMS could save as many as 79 lives and over 10,000 injuries per year.

Can you tell if your tire is underinflated just by looking at it? Let’s put you to the test.

• Take a look at tire #1, it is inflated properly according to the vehicle’s placard.
• Tire #2 is underinflated by 25%.
• Tire #3 is underinflated by 50%.

Take a look at tire #1 and tire #3. It is hard to see a difference, and this is extremely dangerous. Thanks to TPMS, drivers are informed when tires are underinflated by 25%, which keeps us all safe on the road.
