MAXAIR is a new “smart” system that not only detects when tires on cars, light trucks, and SUVs are under-inflated, but also automatically fills them to within 1-2-percent of the right pressure, using air from an onboard compressor.

“This feature is ready, available, and could be on all new automobiles,” says Clyde Stech, MAXAIR-ATMI, Inc. President, “It’s a matter of consumers demanding it and auto manufacturers making it available.”

Since under-inflated tires reduce average gas mileage by 3.3 percent, by keeping tires at optimum pressure, MAXAIR saves gas, money, and lowers greenhouse gas generation. Plus, even slightly under-inflated tires can be dangerous–especially when roads are wet, according to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Currently available tire pressure monitoring systems could be off by 20-30 percent and they only activate dashboard warning lights to alert drivers that tires need air. Then, drivers need to find air to fill the tires.

An automobile parts manufacturer could supply the device to automakers for about $200 a vehicle.
