Tires driven underinflated create unnecessary drag on a vehicle, which in turn reduces the number of miles the vehicle will deliver for every gallon of fuel used. It's important to convey to your customers that responsible motorists – whether driving an 18-wheeler or a small four-wheel car – should check the air pressure in their tires on a regular basis. Tires should be checked least once a month for a four-wheeler and at least once weekly for an 18-wheeler. Properly maintained truck tires that are driven with the correct amount of air during their first life will be more retreadable and this alone should be a motivation to keep your tires properly inflated and to check them often. All major brand truck tires are designed for multiple lives; to not retread them is a waste of money and is also not helping the environment. |
