Low tire pressure is DANGEROUS! Unfortunately, most tire leaks are slow, allowing the driver to gradually adapt to the vehicle's behavior, thus not realizing the extreme danger that is present. The LED TIRE WATCH system provides a quick and easy visual inspection of each tire, alerting the driver of pressure variations with a bright red LED light. RealWheels Corporation has made this system even easier to implement with convenient 6-wheel and 10-wheel kits.
Why is this important?
• Longer Tire Life — According to the D.O.T., 95% of all premature tire wear is caused by under inflation.
• Safety — Improper tire pressure has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling, braking and control.
• Improved Fuel Economy — Proper tire inflation can save an estimated 3%-5% in fuel costs.
• NFPA Guidelines - The current NFPA 1901 Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus (2009) requires that "each tire shall be equipped with a visual indicator or monitoring system that will indicate tire pressure."
