Huf has also developed the universal sensor \"IntelliSens\" for the independent aftermarket which carries the same OE quality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntelliSens is fitted directly to the valve and measures the tire pressure and temperature from the inside of every tire. This data is then displayed on the dashboard by a control unit. This method of measurement is not only faster, but also more accurate than indirect methods that use ABS\/ESP sensors. Whether you are purchasing a new set of wheels and tires, or simply replacing old faulty sensors, APEX has you covered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"tpms-block\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"tpms-head1\"\u003eThe Benefits for Drivers\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cp class=\"tpms-subhead\"\u003eAdded Safety and Performance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA, USA) showed that vehicles with a tire pressure at the recommended level are much more likely to be involved in an accident due to tire damage. Detecting and eliminating tire pressure problems early on improves drivability and prevents accidents caused by tire damage or failure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs driving enthusiasts, we all want to extract the most performance out of our vehicles. By running optimum tire pressures, tire performance and longevity will be maximized. Properly working TPMS sensors ensure drivers are informed with accurate readings so adjustments can be made if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"tpms-subhead\"\u003eReduces the Cost of Driving\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe TPMS helps to extend the lifespan of a tire. A tire with 20% less pressure than the recommended level shortens the lifetime of the tire tread by up to 25%.
