The maintenance of inflation pressure is fundamentally important in order not only to maximize the performance of the tire but to prevent tire failure from happening. Without proper inflation a tire is no more than a chunk of rubber. Here are some tips to solve tire problems and to get the most of tires.
Irregular wear
Improper inflation is related to the cause of irregular wear.
Premature wear
A tire wears faster when the inflation pressure is low due to more slip in the tread and it results in premature wear.
Heat build up
Tire generates heat while running by repeated elongation and heat build up in the shoulder area where rubber gauge is thicker.
Inflation pressure loss
Inflation pressure loses even it is well maintained because of permeability of rubber.

Inflation pressure reduces approximataly 6% per month.
It is recommended truck tires must be pressure checked at least once aevery month.

| Note! Tire inflation pressure is specified in the owner's manual or on the placard in the truck. |
