Increased tyre life

• Correct tyre pressure provides optimum life.
• 16% under inflation causes 10% Loss of tyre life (Michelin).
• 14% Over inflation causes 10% Loss of tyre life (Michelin.

• 20% under inflation causes 30% increased wear on both tyres.

• By maintaining balanced tyre pressures, each tyre carries the same load.

• Optimal tyre pressure minimises tyre cutting, scalloping, and uneven wear.

Less blow outs

• Most blow outs are caused by over heating of underinflated tyres. CTI's ability to maintain correct tyre pressures minimises this problem. Most punctures can be maintained until a suitable time for servicing. And the driver knows what is happening!

Less stones caught between tyres

When tyres are at a lower pressure, the side walls bulge more. As the tyres rotate the stones naturally fall out. Substantially less stones are picked up by the tyre.

• By lowering pressures, tyres act like big airbags, absorbing small road irregularities, thereby vastly improving ride. Wheel slip and axle tramp are minimised, therefore there is less impact loading on suspension of drive train.

• When travelling unladen, lower tyre pressures reduce road induced vibration, improving ride and traction and minimising body and chassis fatigue.

Less man hours wasted

• With CTI the driver can monitor tyre pressure from behind the wheel, negating the need to stop the vehicle to check tyres.

• CTI maintained tyre pressure alleviates the need for regular workshop checks.

• CTI minimises roadside tyre changes. Improved ride and handling improves time taken to get from A to B.

Less delays fixing things

• No fixing components that have been damaged by blown tyres. Minimisation of the need to change tyres and rotation of tyres.

Improved fuel economy

• For truck tyres, a 10 psi drop in tyre pressure will increase tyre rolling resistance by 2% -(Goodyear.)

• By having perfect tyre pressure, most operators will benefit by at least 2%

Improved traction

• Lowered tyre pressures increases the footprint and lowers the unit pressure on the ground, providing more traction.

• A Softer contact patch envelopes stones and irregularities, creating additional grip. 

• Extra deflection improves articulation, keeping the tyres on the road.

Improved ride

• On Road - When travelling unladen, lower pressures makes for better ride and handling by absorbing and not amplifying small irregularities.

• Off Road -Lower pressures when travelling slowly makes for better ride and smoother handling by absorbing and not amplifying small irregularities. Stones and rocks are absorbed by the tyres before placing added stress on the suspension. Happier drivers are more alert for longer.

• Better ride, better handling, and less vibration means happier drivers, who are more alert.

Improved scheduling

• Unplanned delays, such as those caused by blowouts, ruin schedules and put you behind the eight ball.

• By minimising wasted time, schedules can be tighter.

Improved safety

• When tyres blow out, the debris could be deadly.  Blowouts don't do anything for the handling either - many firms will not allow their drivers to change tyres.

• Roadside tyre changes can be dangerous.

• Incorrectly inflated tyres can kill!

• Back injuries are common place when changing truck tyres.

• Reduced vibration levels improves driver comfort, reduces stress, and minimizes internal organ damage.

Expensive Maintenance

• Tests have demonstrated up to 87% less maintenance with CTI.

Better profits

• On Road - Minimal lost time. Lower maintanence costs. Less vibration induced fatigue, means less damage to brakes, suspension and vehicles. Improved scheduling.

• Off Road - Better traction and less track damage means more loads more of the year. This adds up to more profit!
