What is a TPMS and how does it work?

20th July 2023

Have you ever wondered how a TPMS, or Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, works? A lot of drivers rely on its technology to let them know whether their tyres have lost pressure, but what many don’t know is, by the time the TPMS warning light is triggered on your dashboard, the problem has already escalated.

Tyre Teacher Fuzz Townshend has a top tip – don’t rely on your TPMS to tell you when there is a problem, do your own visual checks!

Find out why and what to look out for in the video below.

For more information on how to check your tyres, contact your local Landsail dealer or check out more from Fuzz here.
