Checking tyres before journeys is an essential task that all drivers should employ.
Tyre management should be a daily activity starting with the driver visually inspecting the tyres for damage and wear.
Goodyear offer tyre husbandry in the form of TruckForce, as part of the FleetFirst package. TruckForce will regularly inspect the tyres on your vehicles, testing the pressure as well as taking the tread depth reading.
If a driver has noticed any damage in between inspections, this should be actioned by calling out a TruckForce service provider to attend to the vehicle and repair or replace the tyre.
Alongside daily tyre management, it is important to be able to identify if the tyre is suitable for your vehicle and journey.
Understanding what the writing on a tyre’s sidewall means is essential for this. Displayed after the tyre size on the sidewall, they show as one or two numbers followed by a letter.
