The problem arises when tyre pressure is not regularly checked and adjusted, leading to potential safety risks and decreased vehicle performance. Without real-time monitoring, it is difficult to identify under-inflated or over-inflated tyres, which can cause instability, decreased traction, and increased braking distances.
Additionally, improperly inflated tyres can result in uneven wear, reducing their lifespan and necessitating premature replacements. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drivers can improve their gas mileage by up to 3.3% by keeping their tires inflated to the proper pressure.
