Wheel Alignment & Fuel Economy
Posted by Tim on February 7, 2006
Are there any studies showing fuel savings on properly aligned tires on Class 8 trucks? If so where can I find the statistics?
Goodyear has two sources for this information. Our Radial Truck Tire Service Manual and a brochure entitled “Factors Affecting Fuel Economy” both show the results of a fuel economy study Goodyear did with mis-aligned tractor and trailer axles. These item are available at your local Goodyear commercial tire dealer or local sales rep.
