VALVE STEMS & TPMS

Valve stems have rubber components that breakdown over time. Therefore, tire manufacturers strongly recommended to replace valve stems every time you replace your tires. They are inexpensive. In addition, replacement adds additional assurance that a tire failure is not in your future. Like tires, valve stems have rubber components that dry and crack. Furthermore, replacing them as often as you replace your tires can reduce the risk of a tire failure due to loss of air.

TPMS or TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

The TPMS is an electronic system used to monitor the air pressure inside your tires.
Maintaining optimal inflation for your tires is important for several reasons. Potential benefits include:

• Improve vehicle safety and handling
• Increase fuel economy
• Decrease treadwear
• Reduce braking distance
• Reduce CO2 emission

Tire Pressure Monitoring System valve stem assembly consists of a sensor, transmitter and valve stem.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

TPMS - Tire pressure low

Your dash Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light comes on when your tire pressure is too low or too high.

When conditions are safe, pull over and gauge all your tires to determine which tires require inflation or deflation. Add or remove air accordingly until your tire has reached the manufacturer’s recommended level. Remember to re-check airpressure during cold temperature because they tend to lose pressure. After measuring if the problem repeats itself, bring it in to a service professional. It signals a problem when remains lit.

What are the Fees for Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPMS) during new tire instalation?

TPMS valve stems have rubber components that require service and replacement whenever installing new tires. The TPMS rubber components are packaged in a service kit. TPMS valves are often taken off during the tire installation process to prevent damage.
