It’s no secret that upgrading your BMW’s wheels and tire’s can have a dramatic effect on its performance and style. But when it comes to the F30 BMW, you also need to consider the importance of your tire pressure monitoring system (TMPS). A TMPS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is needed to alert drivers when the tire pressure is too low or too high. Since maintaining proper tire pressure is critical to vehicle safety, a TMPS helps drivers maintain the optimal air pressure in their tires. This helps to prevent tire failure and increase fuel efficiency.
