TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS

Keep track of pressures, and boost safety, as we test top aftermarket kits

IN eight years of surveying 23,000 UK motorists’ tyre pressures, Michelin found 62 per cent were incorrect and 37 per cent of those dangerous.

This squanders money in increased fuel consumption and extra tyre wear, but also risks safety as handling deteriorates or tyres overheat. New cars have been fitted with mandatory tyre pressure warning systems (TPMS) since 2012, but there’s a number of retro-fit kits to bring the safety benefits to all. We hit the road to test nine of the best.
