AutoPump’s new tyre pressure monitoring caps are designed to provide UK motorists with immediate PSI checks. The caps enable drivers to verify their tyre inflation manually without relying on vehicle electronics, marking them as a practical solution for those concerned about safety and fuel efficiency.

TPMS became mandatory on all new cars sold in the UK in 2014, but experts warn that the technology hasn’t shown consistent reliability in practice.

For example, TyreSafe estimates that as many as 20,000 MOT tests have been failed so far due to faulty warning lights displayed on dashboards. Other vehicle diagnostic specialists uncovered over 50,000 issues with monitoring systems in a three-month period last year alone. Professionals note that sensor batteries can run out while system malfunctions often go unnoticed – leaving drivers without the alerts these systems are meant to provide.

Accordingly, drivers can benefit from tools that offer extra assurances regarding the safety of their tyres. As such, AutoPump’s monitoring caps offer a tangible verification method that complements regulatory guidance – empowering motorists to take control of their tyre maintenance in turn.

According to AutoPump, proper inflation delivers measurable economic benefits. Under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption, with studies showing approximately 2% higher fuel use when tyres are under-inflated by 10%. Meanwhile, research indicates that tyres can lose approximately 1-3 PSI per month due to permeation, resulting in higher fuel costs and a 25% reduction in tyre lifespan.

For UK drivers facing rising fuel costs, then, maintaining correct pressure through regular monitoring represents a straightforward cost-saving measure that extends tyre longevity and reduces environmental impact – clear advantages over the long run.

AutoPump’s caps allow drivers to experience these benefits firsthand, says the company. Performing instant visual PSI checks at the valve protects against dust and moisture while maintaining pressure integrity.

Unlike electronic systems that depend on sensors and dashboard displays, the caps provide direct, manual verification without the need for diagnostic tools or smartphone applications. By enabling weekly checks without technical expertise or additional equipment, the caps turn routine maintenance into a habitual practice that aligns with official guidance.

One user explained the benefits in their case: “I have an older car. It does have tyre sensors and a warning light on my dash, but the vehicle does not tell you the specific tyre pressure level – or which tyre might have low air. So, these are a great addition to the old technology in my car.”
