Do you know just how many features are installed on a modern truck to keep you safe? While the latest models include safety cameras and monitors that are fairly easy to spot on a dashboard when you hop into a cab, many truck parts now come with tiny systems that make them safer than ever to drive on Australia’s freight routes.
Founded in 2002 and now part of the RPM Automotive Group, Safety Dave is well versed in the game of premium safety solutions on local trucks. Its extensive range of top-quality safety products ranges from rear vision monitors to defibrillators and the Safe-T-Tyre’s tyre pressure monitoring system. Among these, it’s the Safe-T-Tyre that has become a major safety tool for Australian truck owner drivers.
“In the realm of automotive safety, there are few aspects more crucial than tyre maintenance,” Safety Dave general manager Sven Straub told OwnerDriver.
“Ensuring that your vehicle’s tyres are properly inflated not only enhances fuel efficiency and prolongs tyre lifespan, but it also, most importantly, reduces the risk of accidents caused by tyre blowouts or loss of control.”

This is where Safe-T-Tyre’s Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is helping keep a vigilant eye on the tyre pressure of vehicles all around Australia, providing a reliable and easy safety system. Sven says that a truck’s operational efficiency is heavily dependent on tyre health, yet incorrect tyre pressure remains one of the most overlooked factors contributing to breakdowns, increased fuel consumption and costly replacements.
“Implementing a TPMS is a proactive step towards optimising vehicle performance and reducing risk on the road,” he says.
One of the standout features of Safe-T-Tyre’s TPMS is its real-time monitoring, allowing drivers to receive instant feedback on the health of the truck’s tyres while the vehicle is on the road. Any tyre pressure reading outside the customised range will immediately trigger an audible alarm, with the display unit highlighting the exact tyre that requires attention. This proactive approach allows operators to address any potential issues immediately before they escalate into safety hazards.
“Equipped with precision sensors, Safe-T-Tyre’s TPMS delivers accurate tyre pressure readings, ensuring drivers have the most reliable information at their fingertips,” Sven says. “With an accuracy of +/- 1 PSI, the Safe-T-Tyre sensors allow operators to say goodbye to guesswork and instead say hello to precise tyre maintenance.”
Another leading part of Safe-T-Tyre’s TPMS range is its user-friendly interface that encourages owners to look at tyre pressure readings in a clear and easy to understand way. Whether the person behind the wheel is a seasoned veteran or new to trucks, TPMS is designed to be easy to use for all users.
“Safe-T-Tyre’s TPMS also uses wireless technology to transmit data between sensors and the display unit,” Sven says.
“This eliminates the hassle of tangled wires, ensuring a smooth user experience.”
It’s this range of features that gives fleet operators and owner drivers a raft of safety and cost benefits when they install Safety Dave’s TPMS onto their trucks. Over the long-term cycle of a truck’s life, the TPMS can also give significant financial benefits to owners due to the reduced tyre replacement frequency and improved fuel economy.
The simple rechargeable lithium battery display unit, pre-installed by Safety Dave, has a user-friendly interface and can support up to 22 tyre pressure sensors, immediately getting to work to keep your tyres in tip-top shape. For larger setups, an additional monitor can be added if more tyre pressure sensors are required.
“Safe-T-Tyre’s TPMS is engineered to meet the highest standards of quality and reliability, providing drivers with peace of mind on the road,” Sven says.
“With its advanced features, user-friendly design and precise monitoring capabilities, this TPMS is a must-have addition to any vehicle.”
