Tire Protection System

The Pierce Tire Pressure Management system and Tire Blowout Protection band prepare you for the unexpected.

The Tire Pressure Management System uses sensors to monitor tire pressure and temperature and display them in the cab unit. The Side Roll Protection system consists of four integrated components:

Proper tire inflation reduces:
  • Maintenance downtime
  • Fuel costs
  • Tire and tread wear
  • Tire blowouts and tread separation
  • Tandem axle tire wear

  • Wheel position indicator and audible alarm activated when:
  • Tire pressure deviation
