Tyresure plans to show a complete range of TPMS products at Automechanika Birmingham. Automechanika 2016 takes place from 7 to 9 of June at the National Exhibition Center (NEC) in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Tyresure and Hamaton have appointed Martin Blakey to the position of managing director. The two sister companies report that they made the appointment in order to “recruit industry expertise” to address the “fast developing European TPMS markets”.
The range of OE sensors offered by Tyresure Ltd now includes the Pacific TPMS line-up. Pacific Sensors Europe has appointed Tyresure its official distributor; Tyresure believes this new partnership will benefit customers tremendously, giving them both the best prices in the market and expert support from an experienced TPMS specialist.
First came Tyresure’s Starter Kit 1, which was designed to encompass the most popular service parts in the European TPMS market, containing a selection of valves, service kits, caps, and cores.
2015 represents the first full year of both mandatory TPMS on new vehicles and system functionality tests as part of MOT tests at the aftermarket end of the spectrum. And according to those in the TPMS sector, this new legislation has brought new confidence to the TPMS market. Tyresure reports that most multisite UK operations now boast some knowledge of this new technology. Many tyre bays are turning their attention to the sales opportunities that servicing TPMS sensors brings.
Retail sales of tyre pressure monitoring system sensors and service kits are growing fastest in northern Europe. According to Ian Smith, managing director of British firm Tyre Sure which supplies Tech Europe’s TPMS needs across the continent, drawing a line from the Nordic region south to Spain and Portugal gives you an ever-decreasing continuum of market demand. As you might expect there is a direct correlation between having a distinct winter market and TPMS success. Those at the South of Europe have comparatively little demand by comparison.
The sole UK distributor of Fondmetal wheels has announced details of the latest design from the Italian manufacturer: the 7900. Performance Wheels says the five-spoke rim contains construction and material technology developed by Fondmetal in its extensive original equipment manufacturer and motorsport portfolio, which extends to Formula One.
Tyresure has released a new tool for tyrebays, dealerships and workshops; a precisely calibrated tyre pressure gauge that measures absolute, not atmospheric pressure.
Tyresure has launched a dedicated system created specifically for the leisure and towing market. EU legislation has dictated that all passenger cars must have TPMS fitted from the factory as a legal requirement from 2012. Although this hasn’t yet been rolled out as a mandatory fitment in the leisure market and doesn’t apply to vehicles produced before this model year many industry experts feel that it is only a matter of time before safety-conscious manufacturers start including this in the options list, at least.
The latest wheel from Italy’s Finichi is the Milano, a 16-spoke design available in silver or black. The spokes on the Milano extend to the outer edge of the rim in order to enhance the wheel’s perceived size, and both the Hypersilver and Gloss Black finishes can be ordered with the Tyresure Tyre Pressure Monitoring System for improved safety and driver feedback.
Tyresure is encouraging drivers to check their tyre pressures as the temperatures plummet. With winter drawing in and early mornings seeing temperatures nudging zero and below, many motorists aren’t checking their tyres and adjusting for the cooler temperatures. Air contracts when it is cooled, meaning that first thing in the morning your car tyre pressures could be several pounds lower than they were during the summer months – with an obvious effect on your car’s handling and road manners.
Tyre safety firm Tyresure has announced its latest technical partnership. The Leicester based company’s sells the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System has been selected for OE fitment in the new Iovan minibus, the vehicle jointly developed by Brecon Coachworks, Swansea University and Irisbus Iveco (UK), and promoted as the UK’s safest minibus.
Every aspect of this new-generation Minibus has been scrutinised to improve safety, comments Tyresure, resulting in over 30 significant improvements being made. Tyresure has supplied its six-wheel monitoring system to allow drivers to keep an eye on all tyre pressures through receiving instantaneous readings on a clear display screen. The driver is alerted should tyre pressure drop even by 1 PSI, ensuring motoring under the safest possible conditions.
