Minimizing Downtime Preventive Tire Maintenance for Maximum Performance

摘要

Tires should be checked for any visible damage,including cracks,cuts,bulges or leaks.It is also important to check tread depth to be sure that the tire has more than 20-25% tread for maximum performance.Although there is no cut and dry way to determine when it is time to replace tires based on tread depth,as tire lugs wear down,they can start to slip excessively,thus increasing fuel costs and time because of the increased strain on the machinery.If the tire seems to be pushing dirt back behind it further than normal,there is a good chance there is too much slippage.If there is any possibility for failure,it is recommended to replace the tires before the equipment is put back in use.
