Exactly as the name suggests, this gizmo keeps an eye on your tyre health while you’re on the move.
The Steelmate Tyre Pressure Monitoring System comes in a small kit box
The Steelmate Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a set of four sensors you use to track your tyre pressures via a monitor plugged into the cigarette lighter. It’s a small compact kit that’s easy to use and gives you general peace of mind on the road.
Inside the kit box - the 'spanner' sits in the top left side
Now I was sceptical at first, but since using the kit I want one permanently plugged in and here’s why:
Reasons for using a TPMS
There’s a lot of science to tyres and by listening to them, you can better care for your car and your wallet.
The small sensor replaces the usual valve cap on your tyres.
- This TPMS shows the current pressures of all four tyres in real time.
- The air pumps at garages are often out on their tyre pressure readings – use these sensors to double check, but wait for your tyres to ‘heat up ‘ by driving for a while before comparing.
- You can detect slow punctures.
- Ensure all tyres are pumped up equally – different pressures can lead to unnecessary exertion on your vehicle.
- The sensors are light, fit on snugly and are screwed on tightly using its designated spanner
- It’s a small, easy kit to use and the installation is very simple.
- The monitor is easily visible and beeps loudly when there’s a problem
- You’ll have peace of mind and enjoy your travels without worry.
