Features
Read full description

The entire system manages every tire connected to the system in real time. Once a tire is used by the user, the tire temperature, tire pressure, mileage, usage time, and tire wear can be viewed in real time. Temperature and pressure alarms can be set. When the tire temperature and pressure are not within the normal range, the driver can receive an audible alarm from the display in the cab, and the tire manager will receive a push alarm message on the mobile phone.
