SmarTire offered on Western RV's Alpine Coach line

SmarTire's active tire monitoring system now available on luxury line of motorhomes

RICHMOND, BC, April 5 -- SmarTire Systems Inc. (OTCBB: SMTR) today announced that Western Recreational Vehicles Inc. is offering SmarTire's active tire pressure monitoring system as optional equipment on their prestigious Alpine Coach Limited Series line of recreational vehicles. With over 34 years of recreational vehicle manufacturing experience, Western RV is one of the top producers in the U.S. of diesel powered Class "A" motorhomes.

The SmarTire for RVs system incorporates high pressure transmitters, an improved receiver as well as a graphic display mounted in view of the driver. SmarTire for RVs monitors both tire pressure and temperature, warning the driver if a tire is under-inflated, loses pressure while driving or if the tire temperature rises abnormally.

An important new feature of the SmarTire for RVs system is that it can be configured to include additional low pressure sensors to monitor the wheels of a towed vehicle or trailer. This complete system provides RV owners with a new level of safety, convenience and piece of mind, knowing that all the wheels on their RV and towed vehicle or trailer are being monitored.

"Western RV combines extensive experience in the recreational vehicle industry with a real commitment to quality, comfort and reliability," says Robert Rudman, President and CEO of SmarTire. "We are very pleased to have been chosen by Western RV as their tire monitoring system of choice for their luxury line of Class "A" motorhomes. This agreement is another indication of how SmarTire is implementing its strategy to supply innovative technology to original equipment manufacturers in important target markets."
