The "correct tire pressure" has now been discovered. After the US mandated direct tire pressure monitoring systems for all new vehicle registrations (100%), and with similar measures emerging in the EU, the market is being reshaped, and tire companies are ramping up their efforts to provide information. For example, Bridgestone (www.bridgestone.at) states: "Insufficient tire pressure compromises safety." These results ...

The imbalance caused by the sensor weight (approx. 40 g) is compensated for when balancing the wheel. [The sensor batteries] ...

Tire checks conducted by the German Road Safety Council (DRV) revealed that one in five vehicles had suboptimal tire pressure. The participants in this study were drivers who care about their own well-being and, consequently, the safety of their vehicles. A total of 650,000 vehicle owners voluntarily stopped at 25,000 tire check stations – a significant number. According to a survey by tire retailers, approximately half of all drivers check their tire pressure. ...

For tires on motorhomes, caravans, and trailers, the travel season is the critical period; they should be checked particularly carefully before longer trips. Since they are often only used for a few weeks a year, the tires age faster than those on passenger cars and are therefore prone to cracking and pressure loss. Tires are especially common when parked at southern campsites. ...
