Bob the Builder was done on the building site where he had been working on his mini digger. His vehicle was pulling the heavy-duty twin axle trailer but he didn’t notice a nail had got stuck in the rear left tyre of his trailer. Slightly later, while on the motorway at 80km, his trailer starts heavily swerving and he can barely keep the car and trailer in control with the heavy load that is on it. Upon inspection of his trailer, the rear left tyre is totally destroyed and the front left tyre is flat but also damaged. So, whilst one tyre was deflating and shredding to pieces, the pressure on the other became higher and when it couldn’t hold the load any longer it was also damaged. As well as the two new tyres needed, it also damaged the brake drums.
The moral of this story is that a quality TPMS on his trailer would have warned him while leaving the building site, which could have saved him his tyres, brake drums, potentially his digger but more importantly, his life.
But what about your boat & trailer, caravan, or jetskis…. very expensive gear that you want to protect, and that for
relatively not much money by using the iCheckTPMS
