Fleet Specialties Co. announces three new Tire Sentry systems designed for trucks and/or trailers with wide-base super-single tires. The TMA-SS Series of advanced tire pressure monitors will warn drivers of developing tire problems resulting from a loss of tire pressure at a fraction of the cost of a replacement tire, said the maker.

The automatic tire monitoring system continuously monitors for low tire pressure and will alert of an under-inflated tire, or a developing tire problem. The Tire Sentry system will also help to maintain a vehicle’s optimum tire pressure by advising when routine tire pressure maintenance is required.

Tire manufacturers agree that a primary cause of premature tire failure is under-inflation. Not only does it cause tires to over-heat resulting in zipper-ruptures and devulcanization, but also accelerates tread ware and reduces fuel economy (studies show that fuel efficiency may be increased by some 3% to 5% by keeping tires properly inflated).
