Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

As part of the effort to increase awareness of the need to maintain proper tire pressure, the U.S. government has taken steps to make it easier for drivers to be aware of potentially unsafe low pressure in their tires. As of the 2008 model year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) now requires that all passenger cars and light trucks feature the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). In conjunction with the new requirements, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (AAM) has initiated a consumer safety campaign focusing on the importance of maintaining proper tire pressure. As part of this campaign, the Alliance has launched the website www.checkmytires.com, which features resources to increase understanding of TPMS and the need to maintain proper tire pressure.

TPMS is an automated system that monitors the air pressure in a vehicle's tires. When air pressure in one or more tires drops 25 percent or more below the correct pressure, a warning indicator alerts the driver. TPMS typically delivers these alerts to the driver through one of two types of warning lights on the dashboard.
1. The first uses the official TPMS symbol, which is a cross-section of a tire with an exclamation mark in the center.
2. The second is a top-view graphic image of a car that indicates which tires are low.
Tire pressure is monitored through one of two methods: direct or indirect. Direct TPMS monitors the actual air pressure inside each tire via a sensor mounted within the tire. Indirect TPMS measures tire pressure by monitoring the speed and rotation of each individual wheel. When a significant variation in speed and rotation is detected in one or more wheels when compared with the others, it is often an indication of underinflation. This information is then transmitted to the vehicle's on-board computer, and the driver is alerted.
TPMS Car Schematic
However, while TPMS systems offer increased safety to drivers through low pressure warnings, they are not meant to be a substitute for proper tire pressure maintenance. Both the NHTSA and the AAM urge drivers to check their tire pressure at least once a month and always prior to a long trip. In addition to making drivers aware of the new standard for TPMS, the "Check My Tires" website also offers a "how to" list for proper tire inflation, explanations of the various reasons why correct tire pressure is important, and links to a number of safety-related resources. Be sure to read our article on the importance of correct air pressure as well for even more in-depth information.

Even though TPMS has only recently become standard for all vehicles, a number of older models already have them installed. Approximately 20 percent of 2006 vehicle models came pre-equipped with TPMS, and that number increased to 70 percent in the 2007 model year. If you are unaware if your vehicle has TPMS installed, check your vehicle owner's manual. If you don't presently have TPMS on your vehicle, we can help. Discount Tire/America's Tire offers TPMS sensor kits for virtually all vehicles on the road, TPMS rebuild kits, and retrofit kits for vehicles not factory equipped with a TPMS system. We will be happy to install them for you as well. Be sure to visit your local Discount Tire/America's Tire location and inquire about our TPMS kits.

Bicycle tire timeline

Bicycle Tire Timeline
1790 The first basic bicycle, the ‘Celerifere’, runs on tires made of wood. Frenchman Comte Mede de Sivrac invents the Celerifere or the ‘Hobbyhorse’ which has two wheels but no steering or pedals and has to be moved around by pushing with the feet against the ground.
1817 German Baron, Karl Drais makes the “Laufmaschine” completely from wood. Called the ‘Draisienne’, this two-wheeled machine runs on wooden tires too.
1844 Charles Goodyear invents vulcanized rubber that would soon revolutionize the history of the bicycle tire. Goodyear’s invention lays the foundation for cured rubber tires.
1845 Engineer Robert W. Thompson, of England patents the pneumatic or inflatable tire. The tire consists of a canvas inner tube enclosed by a leather outer tire. He called it the Aerial Wheel. Though the tire resulted in a good ride, it was not commercially successful and the invention went undeveloped.
1866 Metal tires replace wooden bicycle tires in Pierre Lallement’s model called the ‘Velocipede’. This two-wheel machine had pedals on the front wheel and was given the name ‘boneshaker’ in the U.S., because of its rough ride.
1869 A Frenchman, Eugene Meyer, invents the wire-spoke tension wheel and produces a beautifully designed high wheel bicycle, with a small rear wheel and a large front wheel.The same year, William Van Anden obtains the first freewheel patent.
1870 In England, an Engineer named James Starley develops the ‘Penny Farthing’, the high-wheeler of Britain, named after the large and small coins in the currency. The bicycle ran on solid rubber tires mounted on steel rims. Called the ‘Ariel’, the bicycle was made of metal and had wheels with tangent wire spokes.
1874 James Starley is awarded a patent for tangent spokes.
1876 Browett and Harrison patent an early caliper brake.
1879 Henry Lawson adds a rear-chain-drive mechanism to the penny farthing bicycle calling it ‘bicyclette’. Called ‘The Crocodile’ by critics Lawson’s model fails to succeed in the market.
1882 Thomas B. Jeffery, a bicycle manufacturer and inventor, gets the patent for the precursor of clincher tires.
1885 John Kemp Starley, nephew of James Starley, designs the first successful ‘safety bicycle’ with equal-sized wheels and a chain drive to the rear wheel. This is the first modern age bicycle with two-equal sized wheels that entirely replaced the penny farthings. In spite of the model being successful, J. K. Starley did not patent his design.
1887 John Boyd Dunlop, a Scottish veterinarian, develops the first pneumatic bicycle tire (filled with air) for his son’s tricycle. Dunlop’s tire for which he was awarded a patent in 1888 has a leather hosepipe serving as the inner tube and outer rubber tire with treads. His invention brings the era of hard rubber-tired bicycles to an end and steers the way for smooth bicycle rides. It won’t be long before rubber inner tubes are invented.
1893 August Schrader and his son George Schrader invent an improved version of valve to keep the air in the tire. Schrader valves are still popularly used in bicycle tires.
1896 E.H. Hodgkinson patents a 3-speed gradient gear, a pre-cursor of the modern derailleur.
1911 Philip Strauss invents the combination tire of air-filled inner rubber tube and outer rubber tire.
1930s Multi-ratio gearing systems are introduced in racing bicycles.
1933 German builder Ignaz Schwinn who emigrated to the U.S. and founded his bicycle company in 1895 introduces the balloon tire (widened tire), that will be a trendsetter for rugged bikes for the next 40 years.
1950s Derailleur systems evolve.
1962 England saw the emergence of usage of small custom tires for a model bicycle called ‘The Moulton’.
1978 Launch of the first high-quality foldable clincher tire called the Turbo.
Bicycle tire - today The modern age bicycle tires were in use from the 1970’s though there were continual improvements in design and construction, largely to enhance efficiency. Racing and touring bicycles use narrow high-pressure tires, while all terrain and mountain cycles are fitted with broader waffle-tread tires. The modern tires are designed with a lot of emphasis on aero dynamism with light weight and specialized materials to ensure efficiency and minimal road resistance.

What is OTR ?

Off-the-road (OTR)

The OTR tire classification includes tires for construction vehicles such as backhoes, graders, trenchers, and the like; as well as large mining trucks. These tires are built with a large number of reinforcing plies to withstand severe service conditions and high loads. OTR tires are used in rather low speed conditions.




Brif History of pneumatic tire

The first practical pneumatic tire was made by the Scot John Boyd Dunlop for his son's bicycle, in an effort to prevent the headaches his son had while riding on rough roads (Dunlop's patent was later declared invalid because of prior art by fellow Scot Robert William Thomson). The pneumatic tire also has the more important effect of vastly reducing rolling resistance compared to a solid tire. Because the internal air pressure acts in all directions, a pneumatic tire is able to "absorb" bumps in the road as it rolls over them without experiencing a reaction force opposite to the direction of travel, as is the case with a solid (or foam-filled) tire. The difference between the rolling resistance of a pneumatic and solid tire is easily felt when propelling wheelchairs or baby buggies fitted with either type so long as the terrain has a significant roughness in relation to the wheel diameter.

Pneumatic tires are made of a flexible elastomer material such as rubber with reinforcing materials such as fabric and wire. Tire companies were first started in the early 20th century, and grew in tandem with the auto industry. Today over 1 billion tires are produced annually, in over 400 tire factories, with the three top tire makers commanding a 60% global market share.
