Well, we agree, so we thought we would introduce you to a piece of technology that can help you keep an eye on your tyres. The Digitire TPMS from TyreCo allows you to monitor your tyre pressures and temperatures while you drive, thereby helping to prevent tyre damage and possible accidents. When the pressure changes, a visible and audible alarm alerts you to the fact so that you can stop the vehicle and make a plan. Sensors replace the tyre valve stem, and send real-time data to a receiver inside the car that shows pressures and temperatures for each tyre.
