The benefits of using ContiPressureCheck extend well beyond the longevity of the system and the accuracy of its data. “The system can be easily installed when tires are replaced or even before the new vehicle is delivered from the manufacturer.” This construction also avoids measurement errors due to brake heating,” he said. “Because the ContiPressureCheck system sensors are placed inside the tire, they are less prone to breakage or accidental damage.
”ĬontiPressureCheck’s construction takes into account years of research into tire pressure monitoring systems, and provides a robust and reliable system – the second advantage of the product, Armstrong added.

This feature alerts drivers to underinflation issues even in the case of slow leaks, which are difficult to detect in a system that is not compensated. “With ContiPressureCheck, which is tire mounted, we measure both tire pressure and temperature, in order to give the most accurate reading. Without some form of temperature compensation, a hot tire that is underinflated might appear to be fine, because the contained air pressure is at or above its cold inflation pressure,” Armstrong said. “Since a tire’s contained air pressure naturally increases as a vehicle moves, it can be difficult to tell if a hot tire is underinflated. The system then compensates for the temperature in the inflation data. First, it is the only system on the market to account for the tire’s temperature at its most optimal point inside the tire, which eliminates interference from other outside elements.

The driver can immediately take corrective action and avoid a breakdown before it happens.ĬontiPressureCheck has two major advantages for commercial truck drivers over other systems, Armstrong said. This processes the data, saves warnings and sends them directly to a display in the driver’s cab. The sensors continuously monitor both air pressure and the tire’s temperature, and send data wirelessly to the truck’s electronic control unit (ECU). “ContiPressureCheck is a unique product that brings together all Continental’s expertise in tires, inflation, in-cab displays, sensors and monitoring technologies for a direct system that not only provides advanced, accurate pressure data, but also addresses fleet concerns about fuel economy and operating cost reductions,” Armstrong said.ĬontiPressureCheck integrates its sensors, communication system and data processor into a single module that is housed inside a rubber container and glued to the inner surface of the tire. The system constantly monitors the pressure and temperature of each tire on the vehicle in order to provide real-time, on-demand tire status information and to warn the driver of tire-related problems before they become a critical concern, said Clif Armstrong, CTA’s director of commercial vehicle tire marketing for the Americas.
Today at the Mid-America Trucking Show, Continental Tire the Americas, LLC revealed its first product that directly addresses this crucial component of tire maintenance.ĬontiPressureCheck™ is a new, advanced tire pressure monitoring system specifically designed for commercial vehicles. Underinflation, the enemy of commercial truck tires, has been estimated by the Technology and Maintenance Council to cause nine out of 10 tire failures, as well as faster tire wear and reduced fuel economy.
