• Abstract:
  In 2000, Congress passed the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and ; Documentation (TREAD) Act. Section 12 of this act directed the Department of Transportation ; to complete a rulemaking requiring implementation of a warning system in new motor vehicles ; indicating under-inflated tires. ; In response to Section 12 of the TREAD Act, NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and ; Analysis (NCSA) conducted the Tire Pressure Special Study (TPSS). The TPSS was designed to ; assess to what extent passenger vehicle operators are aware of the recommended tire pressures for ; their vehicles, the frequency and the means they use to measure their tire pressure, and how ; significantly actual measured tire pressure differs from the manufacturer’s recommended tire ; pressure.
