Comment | I'm opposed to tire pressure monitoring for the following reasons: 1) Why can't I check and inflate my own tires? I am certain that any home compressor and gauge are more accurate and consistent than any repair dealer’s equipment. 2) How would you or a random repair dealer determine the proper inflation pressure for my tires on my vehicle? The manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressures are only good for average driving conditions on the original tires. They are useless on replacement tires or non-average driving conditions such as greater freeway or around town driving. Proper pressures can only be determined by monitoring inflation pressure and wear patterns over an extended time. 3) I heard you removed the documentation requirement, so the law is unenforceable and therefore not an appropriate use of public resources. If documentation was required, I would refer you back to items one (1) and two (2). 4) If I am required to accept an inflation check and adjustment from anyone who offers it, I would propose a class action lawsuit against the ARB if my tires do not last at least as long as the manufacturer’s warranty period. Over or under inflation causes asymmetric wear and premature tire failure. Please stop wasting my money on such useless endeavors. If you want to help, sponsor an awareness campaign. |
