ZMC Automotive - Steelmate Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems
22 Sep 2015|17,246 views
There are several factors that we commonly consider when thinking about tyre performance - tread pattern, rubber compound and, of course, tyre brand. However, it may come as a surprise to many that the air pressure in your tyres is actually the most important factor in determining how well they perform. This is because regardless of brand, rubber compound or tread pattern, the effects of tyre pressure are universal and apply across the board. Tyre pressure affects the tyre's speed capability, load carrying capacity, handling response, wear rate and overall safety, yet many people seem to take the importance of correct tyre pressure for granted.
The importance of having the right tyre pressure can be summarised in three main points. The first is safety. Tyres that are under-inflated can overheat while over-inflated tyres can lead to poor vehicle handling on the road.
The second reason is economy. Over or under-inflated tyres suffer more damage than those with the correct pressure and need to be replaced more regularly. Vehicles with under-inflated tyres have increased rolling resistance that require more fuel to maintain the same speed. Properly inflated tyres can extend the life of tyre treads by as much as 35 percent.
The third reason is fuel efficiency and the environment. Correct tyre pressures help to maintain optimum fuel efficiency, equating to lower CO2 emissions coming from your vehicle. Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) then serve a vital part in maintaining your car's safety and performance. ZMC Automotive offers a range of TPMS products to help you make sure your tyres are correctly inflated.

ZMC Automotive now carries a range of Steelmate TPMS equipment that allows you to easily and effectively monitor your car tyre pressure. Renowned for its build quality, and available in a range of models - Smartphone, USB, Solar-enabled and direct-to-display - Steelmate TPMS is an important and effective way to keep track of each tyre's pressure and maintain optimum pressure.
Steelmate TPMS TP-77
The Steelmate TPMS TP-77 is the most user-friendly model in the range, a slim TPMS that plugs into the cigarette lighter slot. It allows the driver to monitor up to four tyres in real time using an easy-to-see LCD display. It also comes with a USB slot, which allows drivers to charge their phones or use other electronic equipment concurrently.
The system monitors both pressure and temperature, and will alert the driver of leaks, punctures and over-heating (over 80°C). In addition, the alarm threshold of pressure can be set and adjusted by the driver.
Installation is a breeze: simply plug the LCD into any 12V power socket. Subsequently, screw the pressure sensors onto the wheel valves, replacing the valve caps. An anti-theft system has been built into the product to deter people from removing the pressure sensors from wheel valves. The sensors are already pre-configured and labelled, so you are ready to go!
The Steelmate TPMS TP-77 is available at $268, or $288 for the internal sensor option.
Users also have the option of using internal or external sensors. External sensors offer a simple five minute DIY installation, without the need to do sensor matching. Because information is transmitted wirelessly, there is also no need to rebalance tyres after installation. Internal sensors are also an option, offering more accurate data compared to external sensors, but this requires specialised installation by a workshop.
ZMC has struck up a partnership with a supporting dealer - Pitstop @ Bartley - for internal sensor installation services. Pitstop @ Bartley is offering a promotional price of $30 for installation, compared to an estimated $120 at other workshops. Find out more about Pitstop @ Bartley here.
