There is only one more year to go until the new European law on tyre pressure monitoring systems will become effective requiring tyre pressure monitoring systems for all new passenger cars. As this law will become effective in 2012 we are wondering: why only new vehicles? What is good for new cars cannot be bad for a faithful used one, can it?
Therefore we are offering electronic tyre pressure monitoring systems for fast and easy retrofit.
Most tyre pressure monitoring systems are measuring inside the tyre – either mounted on the rim or at the valve stem. TireMoni measures at the valve. The sensor is screwed onto the valve in place of the valve cap and it is best mounted on metal valves for optimal stability. Now you get a reading of your tyres’ pressures and temperatures inisde the car. Moreover the system will give you a warning when tyre pressure is below lower or above upper limits and those limits are user-defined and can be easily set.
Not only are petrol savings, driving comfort, corner safety, optimum breaking characteristics, winter handling and increased tyre life good arguments – but also the feeling to actively improve ones safety is a good one.
and by this we do not only refer to the beepers in intensive care.
Those who think that they already have enough electronics in their car, can put their TireMoni tpms display into their seat pocket and get an acoustic warning only, when one of their tyres’ pressure should be impaired.
In any case a timely warning in case of a pressure loss in a car or motorcycle tyre will provide a minimum of 10 minutes reaction time. Only in 5% of all cases will a tyre blow out by direct external influence while 95% of all tyre incidents are preceded by a slow puncture and pressure loss.
With a TireMoni tyre pressure monitoring system installed and operational, those incidents can be measured, recognized and eliminated.
Especially in the wintertime a tyre puncture is very annoying. The spare tyre – if there is one left in the car – is in most cases not suited for winter driving and the weather makes changing a tyre a dirty business.
We have repeatedly been hearing comments like: “I dont need a tpms, I have never had a puncture.” We think that this is a very shortsighted argument as it misses out on all other advantages of a well maintained tyre pressure: petrol savings, improved driving safety, improved handling, reduced tyre wear, etc…
Please apologize if we sometimes sound like the preachers of HIV prevention and contraception…
In this time of the year police will most likely heighten their stop-and-search operations. Often tyres and tyre tread are inspected, too. Make sure that your tyre pressure is correct at all times. Not only after every third refueling stop as is often recommended, but during the ride, during every ride. TireMoni provides fast and [...]
Cited from http://glossary.en.eea.europa.eu/terminology/sitesearch?term=rolling%20resistance “The quotient of rolling resistance of all resistances amounts to 20 – 25 percent. That is: every fourth to fifth tankful is consumed only to overcome rolling resistance. Remarkable: Up to about 60 mph rolling resistance is larger than aerodynamic resistance of a vehicle! Properties and quality of a tyre therefore have [...]
The right tyre pressure optimizes your tyres performance and your petrol consumption and it improves your safety. By correctly adjusting tyre pressure the driver can influence driving comfort, durability and mileage of the tyres and accomodate his vehicles requirements and driving quality. Cost effective vehicle manufacturing often saves on suspension comfort and replaces traditional suspension [...]
We are supposed to use centralized providers – or so those wish who profit from centralisation. Electricity by central providers, water, gas, oil from the big suppliers and then best use as much energy as possible so that those providers can deliver plenty. Times have changed. There is plenty of opportunity nowadays to regulate our [...]
TireMoni, i.e. our company tpm UG has moved offices and has a new address as of immediately. You can now find us here: tpm UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Gewerbepark 26 D-86687 Kaisheim Growth sometimes causes pain, this is nothing new: Unfortunately due to our move we can currently not be reached either by phone nor by fax [...]
Everyone seems to talk about low-rolling resistance tyres and if you read and listen to what’s written and said, you could easily get the impression that thes new technology will be the answer to any (environmental-, pollution-, traffic-, noise-, cost-, …) problem that there is. What is easily forgotten within all the hype is this: [...]
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System TireMoni TM-260 is mainly used in motorhomes and caravans where it can be retrofitted fast and easily. It can monitor 4 to 10 wheels per system; tyre pressure values are permanently shown on the display device in the vehicle cockpit – when anyone of the user-configurable thresholds is triggered, the [...]
If you don’t know the correct tyre pressure for your vehicle, you can always look it up in a tyre pressure chart. Tyre manufacturers are listing their recommended tyre pressure in those charts. It can make sense to adjust tyre pressure to your own driving characteristics and to experiment a little. The optimal pressure for [...]
