Want a quick and easy way to get the most hours or miles out of the tires on your equipment and trucks? Keep the right amount of air in them.“The biggest threat to the life of a tire is incorrect air pressure,” says Gary Nash, director of sales, Yokohama Tire Corp. off-the-road products for a broad range of construction equipment. “Tire pressure has to be just right. Not too high and not too low.” By their choices of rubber compounds, tread patterns and construc-tion methods, tire manufacturers can make tires to stand up to cuts, shocks, heat and other stresses.
