Comment
I'm opposed to tire pressure monitoring for the following reasons:
1) Why can't I check and inflate my own tires? I am certain that
any home compressor and gauge are more accurate and consistent than
any repair dealer’s equipment.
2) How would you or a random repair dealer determine the proper
inflation pressure for my tires on my vehicle? The manufacturer’s
recommended inflation pressures are only good for average driving
conditions on the original tires. They are useless on replacement
tires or non-average driving conditions such as greater freeway or
around town driving. Proper pressures can only be determined by
monitoring inflation pressure and wear patterns over an extended
time.
3) I heard you removed the documentation requirement, so the law
is unenforceable and therefore not an appropriate use of public
resources. If documentation was required, I would refer you back to
items one (1) and two (2).
4) If I am required to accept an inflation check and adjustment
from anyone who offers it, I would propose a class action lawsuit
against the ARB if my tires do not last at least as long as the
manufacturer’s warranty period. Over or under inflation causes
asymmetric wear and premature tire failure.
Please stop wasting my money on such useless endeavors. If you
want to help, sponsor an awareness campaign.
