1. A tire pressure monitoring system for a wheeled vehicle comprising the following components in electronic communication,a computer located on the vehicle comprising a data processing unit having a microprocessor configured to execute a processing function for retrieving and modifying data retrieved from electrical components on the vehicle and from data storage units;

  • a pressure sensor connected to a wheel and in fluid communication with a pressurized gas contained in a tire mounted to the wheel, where the pressure sensor is configured to transmit gas pressure data indicative of a gas pressure within the tire to the microprocessor; and

    a vehicle position sensor located on the vehicle and in electronic communication with the computer, where the position sensor is configured to track and record the geographic position and movement of the vehicle,wherein the computer has a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the microprocessor causes the microprocessor to collect information from the pressure sensor and the vehicle position sensor, to record vehicle data including ambient temperature, computer clock time, vehicle position information, and the gas pressure data.
