Stone Drilling?
Posted by Tim on June 22, 2006
I drive a dump truck hauling slag on a daily basis. Small pieces of slag is getting in the tread and working its way into the tire (sometimes all the way to the cords if I don’t notice it and remove it). Have you ever heard of this and do you have any solutions?
Stone drilling is, unfortunately, common for tires that travel "off highway". Goodyear and the other major tire manufacturers make tires specificly for off highway applications. If you are using highway tires in an off highway situation, that could be a large part of your problem. Check with you tire supplier to see if the tires you are using are the one's best suited for the roads you travel.
