TPMS For Beach Driving

Conquer the Sand: Why the Flatmate Aura TPMS is Essential for Beach Driving

For 4WD enthusiasts, nothing beats the thrill of driving on the beach or tackling soft sand dunes. But to avoid getting bogged or, worse, suffering a catastrophic tyre failure, you know you must air down your tyres.

This creates a critical technical problem: Most TPMS systems are not flexible enough to safely monitor low pressures without constant alarming.

Here is why the Flatmate Aura TPMS is the only system built for the dual demands of high-pressure highways and low-pressure sand driving.


The Low-Pressure Challenge (15 PSI Protocol)


Driving on soft sand requires dropping tyre pressure significantly—often down to 15 PSI or lower—to increase the tyre's footprint and gain crucial traction.

  • The Flaw in Standard TPMS: Many standard TPMS units are programmed with a minimum non-adjustable alarm threshold, often around 25-30 PSI. If you air down to 15 PSI, the system alarms constantly, rendering the monitor useless.

  • The Danger of Guesswork: If you turn the system off, you lose protection against the real danger: dropping too low (e.g., below 10 PSI), which risks rolling the tyre bead off the rim.


The Flatmate Aura Solution: Total Pressure Flexibility & Why Flatmate Are The TPMS For Beach Driving


The Flatmate Aura TPMS is engineered to master this high-low transition, giving you complete control over your safety thresholds.

Feature

The Off-Road Advantage

The Highway Advantage

Low Pressure Range

The Aura allows you to set the minimum pressure alarm as low as 7 PSI. This means you can confidently air down to the necessary 15 PSI for the beach without constant beeping, while the system still actively guards against dangerous drops below 10 PSI.

Gives you granular control over the low-pressure alarm, essential for precise safety checks.

Max Pressure Capacity

The Aura sensors are designed to handle pressures up to 98 PSI max.

This is crucial for dual-axle caravaners and heavily loaded 4WDs, ensuring the system can accurately monitor and withstand the high pressures required for bitumen cruising.


Unparalleled Safety, No Compromise


With the Flatmate Aura, you don't have to choose between performance and safety:

  • You gain the traction needed to conquer sand.

  • You retain active monitoring down to 7 PSI, protecting your valuable rims and tyres from bead roll-off.

  • You ensure high-pressure reliability up to 98 PSI for the drive home.

Final Action Required: Stop risking your trip and your assets on inflexible systems. The Flatmate Aura TPMS is the dual-purpose solution built for your entire Australian journey.
