Can Tire Pressure Monitoring Be Installed?
2 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring can be installed. The installation method for tire pressure monitoring is: 1. Unscrew the dust cap of the air valve and put on the dust cover; 2. Install the hexagon nut, then install the tire pressure sensor; 3. Use a nut wrench to tighten the sensor, and the installation of the tire pressure sensor is completed. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Prevent accidents; 2. Extend the service life of tires; 3. Reduce wear and tear on vehicle components. The working principle of tire pressure monitoring is: The sensor installed on the tire monitors the pressure and temperature of the tire in real time, transmits it wirelessly to the receiver, and displays the data changes on the display to alert the driver, triggering an alarm when the tire leaks or the pressure changes exceed the safety limit.
As someone who frequently tinkers with car modifications, I believe tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are definitely worth adding, and I highly recommend them. There are two types available on the market: external and internal. External sensors simply screw onto the valve stem and are easy to install—you can do it yourself at home in just a few minutes. Internal sensors, however, require removing the tire for installation, so it's best to have them installed by a professional shop to avoid any mistakes. Once installed, the benefits are clear—they provide real-time alerts for abnormal tire pressure, helping to avoid high-speed blowouts or excessive long-term wear, which can save you money on fuel and tire costs. I personally installed an internal system, and after two years of use, I can monitor the data anytime via an app, which is especially reassuring on long trips. The total cost ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan, depending on the brand and features, but it's a worthwhile investment in safety. Remember to choose reputable brands like Steelmate or Goodyear, and opt for models with long battery life to avoid frequent replacements.
