Truck Tires Fresno CA

Tire cleaning is often influenced by opinion rather than fact. Shined and glossy truck tires may look nice on a show vehicle, but do nothing to enhance performance or prolong tire life. Accumulated dirt alone does not harm tires, although it is very important that solvent-containing materials not be allowed to build up on rubber surfaces. Tire manufacturers recommend periodic cleaning with plain soap and water.

Truck Tire Care Basic But Subtle

For years, recommendations for truck tire maintenance centered around inflation checks, visual checks for abnormalities, vehicle alignment, and industry standardized work procedures during mounting, dismounting, and other service operations.

These core practices are necessary for safety, cost control and for minimizing downtime or unscheduled tire maintenance. There are many other important truck tire issues that, for lack of a better distinction, might be grouped as tire care considerations. These are especially important in times of fluctuating equipment use, thin margins and erratic trade cycles, since lack of proper tire care can result in significant dollar loss.

Detailed tire inspection, proper cleaning and tire storage are among the most important considerations. Visual inspections can pay big dividends. Subtle wear patterns, minor sidewall or tread cracking can sometimes relate to a-non-optimum tire type for a particular service condition.

Some fleets that once defined tire selection by simple steer, drive and trail tire choices now find costs creeping upward. Recently, I worked with one large truckload carrier that concluded that its business had evolved into three distinctively different tire requirements. Changing from simple and proven tire selection to a more complex, vocation-specific tire program significantly lowered its lowered operating costs.
