So Simple. So Smart.

The SmarTire Tire Monitoring System (TMS) is designed for:
Passenger cars
Minivans/people carriers
Sport utility vehicles
Commercial vehicles
Off-road industrial equipment
Trailers/caravans
Recreational vehicles/motorhomes
And more

The system works on both conventional and run-flat tires.

With a SmarTire monitor you can keep your tires running at optimal pressure, increasing their efficiency, reliability, performance and your overall driving safety.

The system, which uses wireless technology to monitor the air pressure and temperature in your tires, consists of:
Wireless wheel-mounted sensors
A display receiver mounted within sight and reach of the driver

Each sensor contains:
Pressure transducer
Temperature transducer
Centrifugal switch
Radio transmitter
Unique ID code
Lithium battery

One sensor is mounted on each wheel, and the tire is then mounted over the sensor enclosing the unit for protection from the elements.

The interactive display module shows:
Required pressure
Actual pressure
Pressure status
Temperature
Using two simple buttons, drivers can check the status of each tire.

The sensors are activated with a centrifugal switch and transmit only when the vehicle is in motion. When the vehicle stops, the sensors return to sleep mode but the driver is still able to see the last signals sent while the vehicle was moving. Sleep mode extends the life of the lithium battery and makes SmarTire virtually maintenance-free.
