Several elements influence tire longevity and overall TCO, as illustrated in figure 1.
Site conditions
1. The specific site conditions significantly impact TCO. Tire air pressure fluctuates with ambient temperatures—increasing in warmth and decreasing in cooler conditions. Additionally, direct sunlight heats black tires, raising the internal air temperature, potentially altering pressure by up to 15%.
Maintenance
2. Proper vehicle and tire upkeep is crucial for optimizing TCO. Maintaining correct inflation and routinely inspecting wear are essential. Vehicle defects that may affect tire lifespan should be promptly addressed.
Operator Use
3. The vehicle operator plays a key role. Aggressive driving, harsh cornering, and braking can shorten tire life. For best performance, loads should be balanced evenly.
Operational Setup
4. The longevity of a tire is also shaped by the operation’s specifics, including load, speed, work cycle design, and appropriate tire selection for the task at hand.
