What is the difference between the Run Flat TPM (Tyre Pressure Monitor) and TPC (Tyre Pressure Control)?
A – The Run Flat indicator indicates tyre failures, while TPC checks the tyre pressure. TPC monitors tyre pressure on an ongoing basis, based on direct measurements. The Run Flat indicator does not measure tyre pressure directly; it detects differences in the wheels’ rotational speed and thus can only indicate major pressure changes in one tyre compared to the others. This is sufficient to effectively address the most frequent causes of pressure loss encountered in driving, and the resulting tyre failures. The most common situation is a drop in pressure in one tyre. And the Run Flat indicator is enough to indicate to the driver that one of the Run Flat tyres is losing pressure.
