The Advantages of Being "Tire-Smart"

Article Category: Automotive

Author Name: Don Carter, Jr

In a world plagued with accidents and natural disasters, it is comforting to know that there are simple ways that you can do in order to minimize the risks of exposure. These simple ways are indeed easy, doable, and very practical.

One good example is being "tire-smart". Being one means that you as a car owner should always be aware of your tire condition. It is not really complicated and not as tedious as it sounds. It can be as easy as frequently checking your tire's PSI (pressure measurement – pound per square inch) with the help of simple tools like the tire pressure gauge.

A tire pressure gauge is a tool that measures air pressure inside your car's tires. You can choose your tire pressure gauge type between stick, digital and dial types. You can buy these tire pressure gauges from car-parts stores, big-box stores, retailers and mechanical stores.

The Statistics

There was a study about crash data done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which concluded that 5% of vehicular accidents involved tire problems. These problematic tires were either underinflated or poorly maintained.
In relation to this, it has also been deduced that cars with underinflated tires (underinflated by approximately 25%) are three times more likely be involved in a crash as compared to vehicles with other tire problems.
Additionally, the climate also contributes to the rise in statistics. It is actually not surprising that the occurrence of accidents will increase during bad weather.

How to Detect Underinflated Tires

It has been ordered by federal law that all new passenger cars, light trucks or vans should have been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system or TPMS. It has been regulated since 2008 and this implement is used to detect if the tire pressure decreased by 25% from its recommended PSI. It will then warn the driver for an air fill or tire check-up.

Usually this has been enough to prevent accidents caused by poorly aired tires. However, you cannot really do something about drivers who tend to ignore the warning lights or the existence of older cars without the TPMS installation. In this case, it is advisable to have a regular monitoring schedule of tires.

In this schedule, you can do the following tasks:
1. Do not rely with your visual capacity alone in detecting pressure. Use a good quality tire pressure gauge in measuring the PSI for at least once a month
2. With the tire pressure gauge, it is best to measure the tires when they are cold. This could be achieved when the vehicle has been idle for at least 3 to 4 hours or it has not been driven for more than 2 kilometers
3. Just to be sure, refer to the vehicle placard located usually in the driver's doors, glove compartment, or door post. These placards contain the information of right pressure level for each tire

The Advantages of Regular Tire Monitoring

There are many advantages of checking your tires regularly, even with just the help of simple tools like the tire pressure gauge. Other than saving yourself and your loved ones from the trouble of vehicular accidents and mishaps, you can also enjoy the following benefits:
a. You can actually save your fuel consumption, thus saving on your fuel expenses
b. You can extend the life of your tires thus also saving a fortune in premature tire replacements
c. Your car or vehicle can actually be handled more efficiently and safely
d. Lastly, you can help the environment because it will also lower your smoke emission.
