Question 100
Posted by John on April 12, 2005
I don’t have a question, but the answer to most of the the first question on steer tire depth. Tell the people to switch the steers from side to side to max. tire life. 9/32 on the left & 12/32 on the right, will make the tread catch up and wear to 5/32 and then remove. I run a fleet of 500 trks. & 1200 trls. and we rotate steers, drives & even trailer tires. John L.
Every fleet has to put the pencil to their maintenance costs. There is no question that tire rotation will improve tire life but there is a cost along with vehicle downtime associated with rotating truck tires.
