Bushwood Safety Systems: Tire Pressure Monitoring SystemPosted May 21, 2017 4:13 AMFlats, blow outs, skids and longer stopping distances can all be the result of driving around Bushwood on underinflated tires. Admittedly, it's hard to tell when a radial tire is underinflated. If your vehicle manufacturer recommends 35 pounds of pressure, your vehicle tires are considered significantly underinflated at 26 pounds. The tire may not look low until it gets below 20 pounds.

We've traditionally provided things like tire rotations, snow tire mounting and flat fixes at a very low cost. We've been able to quickly and cheaply provide the service and pass the low cost on to you as an expression of our good will.
