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.
