Truck and Trailer Tire Installation

Signs of Trouble

Today’s truck tires are built to be durable and long-lasting. However, even they’re susceptible to damage and wear over time. There are plenty of signs to keep a look out for when it comes to scheduling a round of tire repair or maintenance. Some of the signs to keep an eye out for include:

• Wear and tear: All tires experience wear and tear over time, and this is especially true for commercial truck tires that put in long hours on the road. Regular tire rotations and alignments can help to extend the life of your tires, but eventually, they will need to be replaced.
• Bulges and bald spots: Bulges and bald spots on the sidewall or tread of a tire are often signs of underlying issues, such as a separation in the tire’s layers or damage to the internal structure. These issues can compromise the tire’s stability and may require replacement.
• Punctures and cuts: A puncture or cut in a tire can be caused by a variety of factors, such as debris on the road or improper tire inflation. While some punctures can be repaired, others may be too large or too close to the sidewall to fix safely.
• Misalignment: Misaligned tires can cause uneven wear and can lead to other issues such as reduced fuel efficiency and handling problems. A tire alignment service can help to correct misalignment and improve the overall performance of your commercial truck.
