Emerging Technology: Tire-Mounted Pressure Sensors
I-CAR · December 22, 2022
Summary
This article introduces emerging tire-mounted pressure sensor technology, which places TPMS sensors directly inside or on the tire casing rather than on the valve stem. It highlights the benefits of these sensors, such as accurate casing temperature readings and reduced risk of damage during tire mounting, and notes their transition from commercial/racing applications to production passenger vehicles.
What to do on the job
When replacing a tire on a vehicle equipped with tire-mounted sensors, verify if a replacement tire can be ordered with the factory-mounted sensor already installed to ensure optimum positioning and reduce installation time.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the additional time or parts cost associated with sourcing OEM tires with pre-installed factory sensors, or the labor required to retrofit/transfer these specialized sensors during tire replacement.
