Why TPMS becomes so important in the world?
Even now, a substantial number of vehicles hit the road each day with underinflated tires. However, proper tire maintenance with the aid of a TPMS can and does help prevent many serious accidents.

One of the outcomes of this legislation is that vehicles sold in the United States since 2007 must include TMPS of some kind.
