I haven't found the answer yet but I did come across this interesting information.
AAA conducted a series of tests on tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) in various vehicles to assess their effectiveness in detecting underinflated tires. Here's a summary of the key findings and recommendations:
AAA conducted a series of tests on tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) in various vehicles to assess their effectiveness in detecting underinflated tires. Here's a summary of the key findings and recommendations:
- Eleven cars were tested, and when the tire pressure dropped to 75 percent of what's recommended, five cars showed a warning. Also, when the left front tire was deflated by 0.8-2.9 psi, five out of six cars lit up the warning light. TPMS seems to work well, but one car, the 2022 Ford F-250, didn't show a warning even when a tire was only 65 percent inflated. However, this car is at the upper limit for weight requirements for TPMS systems.
- Overall, TPMS worked well in showing accurate tire pressures when tested. It usually warned drivers when the pressure was 75 percent of what's recommended. However, one car, the 2022 Ford F-250 didn't show a warning even when a tire was only 65 percent inflated. It is worth noting that this vehicle is at the upper limit for weight requirements of TPMS systems.
