Abstract: Under inflated tires is not only a safety risk, but also one related to fuel economy. Conduct survey of tire pressure to evaluate whether the frequency of underinflated tires has decreased in vehicles with TPMS. Collect data on drivers’ familiarity with their TPMS and their response to warnings given by it, as well as their refueling habits.
