Weight and Safety Tip | Tire Pressure Monitoring System

If you don’t have a tire pressure monitoring system, you might want to consider getting one for your travels. Tires should be inflated to the correct inflation pressure in order to receive proper performance. Under-inflated tires will cause the heat to build up in a tire, which can lead to tire damage or a rapid air loss, a.k.a., a blowout. Checking your tires with a tire gauge in the morning before you travel is a good idea, but I personally am tired of getting on my hands and knees to check the tire pressure.

Having proper tire pressure can lead to better life of the tires, fuel savings, improved safety and, of course, a decrease in downtime. Also, consider having your rig weighed at Escapade in Gillette to see if you are overloaded. Peace of mind is a valuable asset as you travel down the highway.
