Maintaining your commercial tires is crucial for the safety and efficiency of your fleet. One of the most common signs that it’s time to replace your tires is uneven tread wear. If you notice that certain areas of the tire are more worn than others, it could indicate alignment issues or improper inflation. Another red flag is frequent air loss. While minor leaks can often be repaired, consistent air loss may mean the tire is no longer holding pressure effectively, which can lead to blowouts or accidents. Cracks in the sidewall are another serious concern. These can develop over time due to exposure to harsh weather conditions or heavy loads, and they compromise the structural integrity of the tire.
Vibrations while driving are also a warning sign. If you feel unusual shaking or bouncing, it could mean the tires are unbalanced or damaged. Lastly, consider the age of your tires. Even if they look fine, tires older than six years are more prone to failure due to material degradation. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early, saving you from costly repairs and keeping your fleet safe on the road. At RTS Commercial Tires, we offer expert tire inspections and replacements to ensure your vehicles are always in top condition.
