How do I know which truck tyres are right for my vehicle?

Choosing the right truck tyre comes down to your vehicle's axle configuration, load rating requirements and the roads you're operating on. Steer, drive and trailer positions all have different performance demands, so matching the right tyre to each position is essential. Checking your vehicle's manual for manufacturer recommendations is a good starting point, and speaking with an experienced tyre specialist will help narrow down the best option for your application.

How long do truck tyres last?

Truck tyre lifespan varies depending on load weight, road conditions and how consistently the tyres are maintained. Under typical commercial conditions a truck tyre can last anywhere from 100,000 to 300,000 kilometres, though that range shifts based on inflation pressure, rotation schedules and driving habits. Underinflation and overloading are the biggest contributors to premature wear, so a consistent maintenance routine is the most effective way to get maximum life out of your tyres.

What causes premature truck tyre wear?

Premature truck tyre wear is most commonly caused by incorrect tyre pressure, poor wheel alignment and overloading. Underinflation generates excess heat which breaks down the rubber compound faster, while misaligned wheels cause uneven contact with the road surface. Overloading places stress beyond the tyre's rated capacity and accelerates deterioration. Regular inspections and a proactive maintenance schedule are the most effective ways to extend tyre life and reduce costs.
