Efficient tyre husbandry is a game-changer for fleet management, offering significant cost savings. This process involves practices like turning tyres on wheels, twinning, and relocating or switching tyre positions.
**Turning Tyres on Wheels:**
This practice extends tyre life by evening out wear patterns, especially on steering axles where one side wears faster. It involves removing the tyre and refitting it the other way around on the rim.
**Twinning:**
For vehicles with dual tyre configurations, twinning involves pairing tyres with similar wear levels. This ensures even wear, improves stability, and extends tyre life.
**Twinning:**
For vehicles with dual tyre configurations, twinning involves pairing tyres with similar wear levels. This ensures even wear, improves stability, and extends tyre life.
**Relocating/Switching Tyre Positions:**
Regularly rotating tyres between different positions on the vehicle ensures more uniform wear. This rotation, done systematically, can significantly prolong the overall tyre life.
Incorporating these strategies into regular maintenance routines can reduce tyre replacement costs, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance safety. For fleets, this translates to substantial long-term savings and improved operational efficiency
