Proper Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry, dark place, protected from direct sunlight
• Avoid extreme temperatures (ideally between 10°C and 25°C)
• Do not store near heat sources, electric motors, or ozone generators
• Keep away from oils, solvents, and chemicals
• Store upright if possible
• Protect from exposure to UV rays that degrade rubber
• Avoid storing near equipment that generates ozone.

Safe Handling:

• The tires are heavy; use appropriate lifting equipment
• Never roll tires towards people or vehicles
• Wear work gloves when handling
• Visually inspect before installation
• Do not install tires that show damage, deep cuts, or deformation.
• Check the manufacturing date (DOT) before installing

Rubber Protection:

• Rubber degrades when exposed to ozone and UV rays
• Avoid contact with mineral oils, fuels, and solvents.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaners on tires
• The shelf life in storage is approximately 5-7 years
• Check the DOT date - do not install tires older than 10 years

Before Installation:

• Inspect the tire for shipping damage
• Verify that the size and specifications match your application
• Confirm the correct load index and speed
• Inspect the rim for damage, cracks, or corrosion
• Verify that you have the appropriate tools and equipment

⚠️ Warning: Tire mounting requires specialized equipment and professional experience. Improper installation can cause catastrophic failure. Always use safety cages when inflating tires.

Tire Positions:

• Always check the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

🔧 Recommendations to Maximize Useful Life

On a loaded truck, the tire is a critical safety component. Brands like Michelin and Bridgestone invest millions in fatigue testing that budget brands don't perform. A leading brand tire not only lasts longer but also protects your truck's suspension and improves braking.

To maximize its duration:

• Maintain the correct air pressure according to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Perform periodic alignments with your Meritor or Spicer axles
• Regularly inspect the tread wear
• Rotate the tires according to the wear pattern.

Correct Inflation Pressure:

• Check the pressure when the tires are cold
• Typically 100-110 PSI for steering, 90-105 PSI for traction/trailer
• Adjust according to load and manufacturer's recommendations
• Low pressure: shoulder strain, overheating
• High pressure: wear in the center, reduced traction

Regular Inspection:

• Visually inspect before each trip
• Check the air pressure weekly
• Measure the depth of the band monthly
• Look for cuts, cracks, embedded objects, or damage
• Inspect for irregular wear that indicates alignment problems
• Check valves and caps for leaks

Minimum Band Depth:

• Steering: 4/32" (3.2mm) legal minimum
• Traction and Towing: 2/32" (1.6mm) legal minimum
• It is recommended to replace before reaching the legal minimum.
• Use depth gauge for accurate verification

Tire Rotation:

• Rotate according to wear pattern (typically every 40,000-80,000 km)
• Move tires from positions of greater wear to positions of lesser wear
• Keep pairs of tires together on dual axles
• Document each rotation for tracking purposes.

Alignment and Balancing:

• Perform alignment every 80,000-160,000 km or at the first sign of uneven wear
• Check alignment after hard impacts or suspension repairs
• Balance steering wheels to eliminate vibrations
• Improper alignment can reduce tire life by up to 50%.

Refurbished (Retreaded):

• Premium tires can be retreaded 2-3 times
• Inspect the casing before refurbishing
• Use only certified workshops for refinishing
• Keep records of each renewal
• Do not replace tires with structural damage

Signs of Trouble:

• Shoulder strain: Low pressure or overload
• Wear in the center: Excessive pressure
• Wear on one side: Misalignment or suspension problems
• Patchy wear: Imbalance or worn suspension components
• Cup-type wear: Worn suspension components

Pro Tips:

• Always carry a spare tire in good condition
• Document the installation date and mileage of each tire
• Keep records of pressure, rotations, and maintenance
• Use nitrogen instead of air for more stable pressure
• Invest in a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
• Train drivers in pre-trip tire inspection
