What is a TPMS and how does it work?

Fuzz Townshend Tyre Teacher

Have you ever wondered how a TPMS, or Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, works? A lot of drivers rely on its technology to let them know whether their tyres have lost pressure, but what many don’t know is, by the time the TPMS warning light is triggered on your dashboard, the problem has already escalated.

Tyre Teacher Fuzz Townshend has a top tip – don’t rely on your TPMS to tell you when there is a problem, do your own visual checks!

Find out why and what to look out for in the video below.
