More Information
Summary:A device for monitoring and adjusting tire pressure of a vehicle having a monitoring module and a computing module operatively coupled to the monitoring module. The monitoring module is configured to sense a tire pressure. Further, the monitoring module is configured to compare the sensed pressure with the low pressure limit value associated with the tire, to identify a low pressure condition. The computing module includes an interface module, configured to alert a user once the low pressure condition is identified and accept a new load value, and a processing module. The processing module is configured to generate a new tire pressure value based on the new load value, recommend the new tire pressure value to the user, and modify the tire pressure to the new tire pressure value upon a determination that the user accepts the new tire pressure value.
