FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q:
I have the screw-on type wheel sensors but I am having difficulty to seal the sensor. It won’t stop leaking. What do I
do now?
A:
TPM-20 & TPM-60 Sensors have a roll-pin plunger and a seal built-in the mounting base. For the plunger to push
the existing valve-core open and simultaneously seal the connection, it MUST be fully seated. Check to make sure the
‘O’ ring seal is in place. Also check to see that there are no deep scratches along the neck of your metal valve-stem.
If you are able to tighten the Sensor and stop the leak but the face of the Sensor won’t line-up normal to the wheel,
then you may have to turn the entire valve-stem. Sometimes, you can start the threading with a different approach
angle to finally end-up with a properly aligned Sensor – tight enough for a leak-free installation.
Q:
I purchased the integrated valve-stem tireAlert. The holes in my wheel are too small to install the Sensors.
A:
TPM-30 has valve-stems for 10mm diameter holes, which is the most common size. Some wheels have smaller
8MM holes. You can get a special version of the TPM-30 with 8mm stem.
Q:
My bike has valve-stem that is slightly bent (much less than 90) so the front Sensor won’t line-up. What now?
A:
There is a special version Sensor available with a 15 offset stem.
Q:
I have noticed that the tire pressure display does not change even with hot tires and higher pressures. Why?
A:
The tire pressure display is scaled-back to cold tire pressure used for initial calibration. It is normal for the tire
pressures to rise with heat generated from riding. tireAlert system keeps track of normal pressure increase of 1 PSI
for each 10F temperature rise. If it exceeds normal parameters, the display will show non-compensated pressure.
Q:
The MPH display is off by at least 5MPH compared to the bike’s speedometer, and my 0 to 60 times are also off
quite a bit. How can I fix it?
A:
Check the wheel diameter input. If needed, to allow for a lower profile tire, you can change to a smaller diameter.
