Your truck’s tires are essential to keeping your rig on the road, but are they really safe? New, properly inflated tires are always the best bet for truckers, but when you’re on the road for hundreds or even thousands of miles at a time, wear and tear accumulates quickly.
Here are some useful tips that will help keep you safe and reduce the risk of tire failure:
New vs. Retreads
While many trucks and trailers utilize retreads, they have many of the same issues as brand new tires. Under or over inflation can present severe safety hazards. Improper mounting can also lead to early or unexpected failures. Whether you have new or retread tires, be sure to check inflation during long stops and always call an expert if you’re uncertain if your semi truck tires are mounted correctly. You should also check if your tire alignments need to be adjusted or corrected.
