Tire Longevity
Posted by Rommel from Quezon City, OT, PH on June 27, 2007
How long does a tire last with size 11R22.5 or 12R22.5 mounted in a tractor head carrying 40 tons of load. How many kilometers it can travel with that load before it will wear out?
People ask this question often. There is no simple answer because there are way to many factors that affect tire wear to predict when a tire will wear out. All of the following affect wear:
tire brand and type, size, vehicle brand and type, type of service, road surfaces, weather, style of driving, time of year and maintenance level of vehicle (especially axle alignment). I'm sure there are more but, I think you get the idea. Even identical vehicles in a fleet traveling the same roads day in and day out will have fairly wide ranges of tire wear due to driving styles and various states of axle alignment.
