FlowBelow's updated wheel covers with Easy Air Access

FlowBelow Aero introduces its new fuel-saving wheel covers with Easy Air Access, an innovative upgrade that addresses a long-standing tire pressure monitoring and maintenance challenge for commercial fleets. 

Even without wheel covers, FlowBelow Aero says physically checking inner and outer tire pressures often requires stooping, kneeling and straining to access cumbersome valve stems, sometimes lodged deep inside wheel rims. With both inflation valves ergonomically located in the center surface of FlowBelow’s new wheel covers, drivers and technicians can check tire pressure and inflate tires in seconds, without kneeling or removing wheel covers, eliminating a common excuse for skipping critical pre-trip inspections.

“Our wheel covers are very easy to take on and off, but our Easy Air Access version makes it safer and faster to check tire pressure with wheel covers than without them,” says Katie Breitschopf, executive vice president of business operations for FlowBelow. “We are pleased to have engineered an aerodynamic product that makes it easier for drivers and technicians to maintain proper tire pressures.”

Wheel covers with Easy Air Access extend the valve stems for both inner and outer tires and route them through the center ring of FlowBelow’s aerodynamic wheel cover. The configuration puts both inflation valves within easy reach, between 20 and 22 in., (50.8 to 55.9 cm) from the ground.

FlowBelow Aero adds wheel covers save a proven 1.74% in fuel when installed on both tractor and trailer, according to track testing performed by MVT Solutions. That translates to approximately 2.16 gallons of fuel saved for every 1,000 miles driven.
