The weight of the load is carried by the air within the tire, not the tire itself. Maintaining the correct inflation pressure is absolutely necessary to guarantee the tire’s performance. Pressure should always be set to, and maintained at the maximum load- / -pressure specification recommended by the tire manufacturer.
Heat is the tire’s worst enemy and is caused by several factors. As a tire rotates under the weight of a vehicle and its load,
it repeatedly deforms and recovers, which generates lots of energy. When this energy is released, heat builds up, making
it more susceptible to wear, cuts and structural fatigue. The amount of heat build-up is determined by several factors
including:
All these factors contribute to an increased deformation / recovery process, generating more energy
and heat build-up resulting in a reduced tire lifetime.
Finally, vehicle maintenance is another important factor for an efficient use. The machine’s performance can cause severe
damage to its tires. Neglecting regular vehicle maintenance can severely reduce tire life and increase its running cost.
Always ensure regular vehicle maintenance
