Rotating Tires
Posted by John from La Grange, TX, US on October 16, 2009
Can/should any of the tractor tires be rotated ?
If you are asking about a tandem axle tractor and you wish to event out the tire wear between the two axles, I suggest you determine what you consider to be about 1/4 of the total tread life of the tires and move tires from the forward axle to the rearward axle (and visa versa) at that stage of wear. I would also be good to reverse the direction of rotation (left side tires on the right and visa versa). Then, rotate when half worn and 3/4 worn.
Commercial Tire Life
Posted by Tim from Cisco, TX, US on October 15, 2009
What is the recommened tire replacement period for commercial tires used in the oil field operations?
Typically, our trucks are low miles however, exposed to the off road and weather elements.
Tires should be replaced when the tread is worn out, there is damage to the tread or sidewall that may result in a tire failure or if the tire is weathered to the point that it could fail. Only a tire expert could determine the second two conditions. Have a reputable local tire dealer inspect your tires and determine when/if they need to be replaced. Using time of usage or mileage is just too difficult to predict.

hi, i have an 05 hino 338 box truck with a 2500lb hydralic lift gate.. when i first got this truck, it rode like a cadilac! now about 8k miles into it, there is a disturbing bounce and seems to be getting worse…. I donot want to cup my tires.. they are like new goodyears and they did ride smooth..
Could be a number of things. I suggest you have the truck and tires inspected at a reputable tire dealer in your area. I could be as simple as correction weights coming off the wheels. Or, it could be more complicated. Difficult to speculate without being able to see and drive the truck.Could be a number of things.
