COMMERCIAL TIRES

 

 

 

 

Commercial truck tires are an integral part of a business, a part that will decide profit margins and perhaps contracts. For the commercial truck driver, so much needs to be taken into consideration. Poor driving can reduce fuel economy and retreadabiltiy. Tire wear is consequently increased. These simple things can increase the cost per mile and make all the difference between profit and loss. At Skander Tire & Service we are dedicated to ensuring that your commercial tires stay "true" for the life of the tire. Besides installing new tires, our services include:

Inspection of Tires
Checking inflation pressure is the key, by maintaining correct tire pressure, optimum fuel economy and maximum retreadability can be achieved. This, combined with minimal wear and tear, reduce tire costs per mile to an absolute minimum.

Poor inflation pressure means increases in tire wear and tear combined with reduced fuel economy. This can add up to serious cost increases over the life of tires and the heavy vehicles they are mounted on. In an industry where budgets are so critical, this needs effective management tactics to overcome unnecessary expenses.

Underinflated tires run hotter. This can lead to reduced miles per tire casing and reduce retreadability, resulting in fewer saleable casings. But how can something so simple damage a businesses bottom line?

Tire Rotation
When drive tires begin to wear, there are options and you can either send the tires to the retread shop, or move them back to trailer positions. Some transport companies move drive tires to the back to increase the miles they get from each tire.

By reducing costs and increasing miles per tire, you will get the most from commercial truck tires. Maintaining proper inflation and good driving skills, together with a tire inspection and maintenance program rather than driving until breakdown, will maximize the efficiency and profitability of your vehicles.

Tire Truing
Tire truing is the process of making tires perfectly round to the wheel. Most tires are not perfectly round, due to a high spot on the tire. This condition is referred to as out-of-round. By gently shaving the high spot off of the tire, the out-of-roundness is corrected. Tire truing can benefit everyone who has a vehicle by reducing road vibrations, extending the life of a vehicles tires and suspension, and also improving fuel economy.
