TODAY'S WEBCAST, 10 A.M. (PST)—FACING THE CHALLENGES OF TIRE-PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS

According to a federal government ruling, 100% of new motor vehicles will need to have a tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) by 2008. While tire-pressure monitoring systems represent an important development in car safety, they also pose challenges for our industry. Improper dismounting, for example, can break sensors, costing you time and money.

Servicing the tires on vehicles equipped with TPMS can result in an expensive lesson when the proper procedures are not followed. The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has trained thousands of technicians in North America on guidelines for handling the tires, as well as the vehicles, and will present an overview of how TPMS technology affects the replacement-tire market. This webinar will focus on the service-related issues that have been occurring and the steps that service providers can take to prevent broken sensors and disabled systems.
