The correct tyre pressure is essential for a car, for both safety and economy reasons; which is why it should be an important part of our car maintenance routine and the tyre pressure should be checked at least monthly. But, realistically how often do people actually check their tyre pressure; most people I know maybe check it once a year! This is why this little gem from Aukey is such a wonderful idea. This AUKEY TPMS Tyre Pressure Monitoring System will constantly monitor your tyre pressure for you and warn you if it drops below a certain level with its built-in low pressure warning system. 

All you need to do is replace the dust caps on your 4 tyres with the ones in the kit, then plug the receiver into your lighter socket and hey presto, you’re done! The little technical bits in the special dust caps talk to the receiver via Bluetooth and constantly monitor your tyre pressure for you, then the screen shows you the tyre pressure for each tyre. Obviously different pressure is recommended for different cars, so you just enter the minimum and maximum pressure suggested for your car into the receiver and if the pressure goes past your chosen ones, the alarm goes off. Within seconds of me plugging my receiver in, the pressure for all 4 tyres was displayed on the screen. Each cap's marked with the wheel is should go on and Aukey kindly provide a nifty little spanner and tightener for you to use when fitting them. There’s even a spare USB slot in the top of the receiver; so if like me you currently plug a USB adapter in your cigarette lighter, you can still use your USB powered device.

I’d most definitely recommend this; not only does the car use more petrol when the tyre pressure is low, it also can seriously affect your stopping distance… so this kit might just save you much more than money in the long run. They work well, are super easy to fit and come with Aukey’s 2yr warranty; to me, fitting these to your car is a win win situation.
