Ward Pressure Track Benefits
Economic Impact
-
The Department of Transportation estimates that 5.4 million gallons of fuel per day (over 2 billion per year) are wasted due to low tire pressure.
-
Properly inflated tires last longer. The life of your tire is extended due to less tread wear.
-
Pressure Track requires no costly installation, installs in minutes with no tools.
-
The monitor can easily be relocated from the primary to the towed vehicle with no additional installation.
-
Properly inflated tires save fuel.
-
Proper inflation protects and saves the tire casing, reducing the chance of blowouts and zipper rips.
-
Properly inflated tires extend the life of tire treads by as much as 35%.
-
Properly inflated and maintained tires save costly roadside repairs and down time.
Safety
-
Peace of mind knowing that your tires, your only contact with the road, are inflated properly for optimum performance and handling.
-
Monitor displays current tire pressures for all tires.
-
Tire pressure is constantly monitored, while moving or parked.
-
Pressure Track alerts to dangerous low-pressure situations with both a visual and an audible alert.
-
Two thresholds of low tire pressure warnings - a double threshold of safety.
-
Greater stability, handling and braking with tires properly inflated. Tires with low air pressures skid and hydroplane more easily.
-
Each year 80,000 accidents are attributed to low tire pressure.
Environmental
-
Tires wear longer saving valuable resources used to produce new tires.
Properly inflated tires save fuel.
-
Under inflated tires wear prematurely, adding to the landfill/disposal problem.
-
Assists in preventing dangerous debris on the road from worn and unsafe tires and casings.
-
Reduced rubber particulates in the air effecting air quality.
-
Proper inflation prevents irregular tread wear preventing dangerous conditions that can lead to accidents.
