Simple:1. It's safer; 2. It improves fuel efficiency-the nickname of "Cash"; 3. It's environmentally-friendly.

Tires are by all means the most important part of a vehicle, but most drivers neglect tires. Any tire failure can cause serious consequence, especially when it occurs at high speed. Drivers know that tires need to be replaced when they become flat or have visible cracks. However, NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) proves that many fire air pressure losses are caused by slow leaks over long hours but not by prompt air losses. Slow air leaks are not easy to be detected visually; it requires sophisticated monitoring systems to track air leaks and warn drivers to avoid potential tragedies. Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is designed for that need!

Here are some numbers that you should know-wheather you're a driver or not
* Underinflated tires increase CO2 emission by 40%
* TPMS helps save up to 4% of fuel
* Cut your fuel cost by 10%, you save "$2 billion" a year-especially now
* Tire pressure 9% lower than standard level reduces tire life by half
* Approx. 250,000 traffic accidents occurring annually in the US result from low tire pressure
* 75% of low tire pressure result from slow leak

Soaring fuel price is a truth in the world nowadays. If there is any way to help save fuel cost, you should do it. It is for the sake of yourself, your money, the Earth and the future generation. So the question now should be: "Why don't I need TPMS"?
