TPMS Accuracy: Sensors report 1 PSI lower than gauge
After delivery of my 2017 BMW 440i Gran Coupe, I adjusted tire pressure in the morning according to recommended specifications: 33 PSI front, 38 PSI rear. Used two different gauges to verify tire pressure.
Shortly after leaving the house, I checked tire pressure via TPMS. 32 PSI front, 37 PSI rear. At least all four sensors report the same delta: -1 PSI. I suspect TPMS sensors report slightly lower PSI. Again - I used two different gauges to verify tire pressure on a cold morning. Any similar experiences? |
