TIRE SAFTEY
CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE EVERY MONTH WHILE IN STORAGE
If a single tire goes low or flat in storage , this can put a strain on all your remaining tire positions and decrease their lifespan . If your off-road vehicle is in storage , you should check your tire pressure at least once a month . For ease , you can use a tire pressure monitoring system to quickly check all your tire pressures . You will find a few TPMS systems on our website to review at www . innovationtire . com
FILL YOUR TIRES USING A SINGLE , PRECISE GAUGE
While a TPMS is great for making sure your tire pressures stay stable , when you ’ re filling up your tires use a single , highly accurate gauge . Because every gauge will give a slightly different reading , it is best to use one gauge on all your tires to make sure they ’ re all inflated equally .
USE A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ( TPMS )
We wouldn ’ t be in this business if we didn ’ t believe in using a TPMS . Tire pressure monitoring systems can save you from tire failure or , in case of a sudden blowout , get you off the road immediately before causing even more damage to your off-road vehicle . In fact , most of the off-road industry , from tire manufacturer to the local clubs , recommends using a tire pressure monitoring system .
Over the years tire pressure monitoring has become simplified . The TireMinder ® TPMS , for instance , can be set up in as little as 5 to 15 minutes depending upon how many tires you ’ re looking to monitor . Some will vary in terms of features offered , simplicity , support and other key factors , so it ’ s best to do a little homework before choosing a system . Another key factor — and you ’ ll know this if you ’ ve purchased an appliance in the last several years — is buying a trusted name brand , one that ’ s been around for a while . There ’ s nothing worse than buying something that has no support , so trust the brands that have been around and plan to stay around for the long run . Next year , Minder will turn 30 and Valterra will turn 40 . So , we know something about market longevity !
