Tire PressureSo What?
Friend or Foe?
Correct Inflation is Essential
Under Inflated
Correct Inflation
Over Inflation
Tire Cross Section
Over Inflated
Correctly Inflated
Spot On for Maximum Traction
It’s All About the Footprint
Reduce Load, Reduces the Footprint
Would You Run 100 psi in Your 4x4?
6000 lb. Landcruiser4 Tires at 35 psi6,000/4 =1500 lb per tire
11,000 lbs. Tandem Drive8 Tires at 100psi11,000/8 = 1375 lb. per tire
Why Do We Run 100 psi in Our Trucks
Over Inflation Kills Tires
Correct Inflation Saves One Tire Out of Three
What is the Correct Tire Pressure?
·Weigh each axle·Consult the Tire Manufacturer·Inflate to the Recommended Pressures
EXAMPLE: Standard Tandem or Bogie Drive;·Legal Weight Limit = 34,000 lbs in most states·Two axles = 17,000 lbs. per axle·4 tyres per axle = 4250 lbs. per tire
What Is the Correct Tire Pressure?
How Low Can You Go?
Most Tire companies don’t like recommending any pressure under 65 or 70 psi, if Central Tire Inflation is not used.
2.0 bar = 25psiWith CTI, pressures down to 25 psi, or 1.7 bar, depending upon the load.
Lower Pressures Work Great On Gravel Roads
Gravel and Dirt benefit from lower pressures at heavier loads.
Another Problem
Axle
Brake Heat
Road
Flex
Crown
Extra Load, More Heat, Higher Pressures, More Load
Whole Body Vibration
Our Drivers are Getting Vibrated to an Early Grave
Optimize Your Tire Pressures to Optimize Your Business
Other Benefits:·Longer tire life·More Traction·Less vibration·Reduced Maintenance·Reduced Breakdowns·Reduced Down time·Reduced Costs·Higher Productivity·Better Ride·Better Control·Shorter Stops
·Safer·Lower Driver Stress·Healthier Drivers·Use Less Fuel·Less Accidents·Less Road Damage·Longer Truck Life·Better Resale·Higher Profits·Lower CO2·Lower GHG Footprint·More Competitive
