[1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

[citation needed] The soft PAX sidewall allows for a more comfortable ride [according to whom?] compared to run flat tires which work by having stiff sidewalls. When flat, the PAX tire sidewalls ...
