MOMO, Italy's finest automotive accessory designer & manufacturer was created when an amateur racing driver, Giampiero Moretti, asked a friend to make him a special steering wheel for his racing car.  It was smaller than normal but presented an original feature, a very large handgrip that offered a much better hold, making the car easier to drive and handle.  This steering wheel attracted the attention of many racing drivers, among them John Surtees of Ferrari.  The English driver tried it, was enthusiastic, and had it mounted on his single seater Formula One racing car. Surtees and Ferrari went on to win the F1 Championship and Moretti's steering wheel shared in the glory. Orders began to pour in and what had started as a passion, grew into a business.  In 1966 a plant to produce these steering wheels was opened in Tregnago and MOMO was born (initials stand for Moretti-Monza).  The first order was from Ferrari which had decided to use MOMO steering wheels on all its racing cars.  MOMO started to scale the international market and began producing light alloy wheels.

Benefits of a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

In order to understand the benefits of having a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) installed, we must firstly understand what the system is: A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is an electronic device that is installed on or near to the dashboard and uses wireless technology to receive signals from the sensors fitted to each of the tyres. The purpose of the system is to take the worry out of having to manually monitor tyre pressures. Some of the features a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System has are that it operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and monitors your tyre pressures and temperatures constantly. The system will alert the driver within a few seconds of abnormal tyre pressure or temperature.  The benefit of having a TPMS system checking your tyre pressures and temperatures are correct at all times not only means better fuel efficiency and longer tyre life but also very importantly safety.  Under-inflated tyres can compromise the stability of a vehicle, its handling and braking. Under-inflated tyres can also increase fuel consumption costing you money. When tyre pressures are kept at correct levels, optimum vehicle performance in the areas' of braking, steering, and general handling are realised.


Constant tyre monitoring means you can check your tyre pressures from inside your car by just looking at the monitor on your dashboard and delivers the same benefits to drivers whether they are behind the wheel of a passenger car or a high speed race car.  A TPMS reduces wear on your tyres, increases or maximises fuel efficiency saving you money and provides piece of mind that your tyres will not cause any safety issues. To put it simply, a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is a very sound investment for any vehicle.
