For some drivers, gone  are the days when they’ll have to manually check the pressure of their tyres, and some vehicles now include tire pressure monitoring system. These systems take real time tyre pressure information and share it with the driver of the vehicle, usually in the form of a pictogram display or with a warning light.

If you’re the type of driver who’s always had issues with tyre wear then this could be the system that saves your bacon, and reminds you that your tyres need pumping before they become an issue. Without the right pressure levels you can wind up with dangerous uneven tyre wear, and this is likely to mean forking out on new tyres more frequently than you would if the right pressure level was maintained.

Many models will now include a tire pressure monitoring system and it’s certainly something more and more manufacturers are looking into.
