Driving with a tire that has low pressure can be an indicator of a leaking or flat tire. A tire pressure monitor can also let you know if you have under inflated or over inflated your tire.

If you every noticed that your tire pressure monitor is glowing the only way to get it turn off is by checking your tire pressure. This is actually a great thing to do, because it provides you with an adding security bonus. Many studies have shown that driving with tires that are not properly inflated can cause spinouts, tread wear and consume gas. Therefore, relying on your tire pressure monitor cannot only save you money, but it can possibly save your life.
