Site conditions
Firstly the conditions on a specific site play a decisive role in the TCO. The air in tyres is affected by ambient temperature. When it’s warm, the pressure is higher and when it’s cooler the pressure is lower. Cold weather means less tyre pressure than hot weather. Also direct sun exposure plays a role. Those black tyres in the hot sun absorb the heat, passing it on to the air inside, which can make a difference of up to 15%.
Maintenance
Obviously, one of the most important factors in achieving the best overall total cost of ownership is vehicle and tyre maintenance. Always make sure to maintain the proper inflation pressure and check wear regularly. Make sure the vehicle doesn’t have defects that could influence tyre life.
Operating Machine
The operator is also very important in the use of the vehicle. Aggressively steering, cornering and braking reduces tyre life and also the load should be distributed evenly to achieve an optimal performance.
Operation
The setup of a specific operation also determines how long a tyre will last. Think of load, speed, design of the work cycle and tyre selection to get the job done.
