Pressure Systems International (PSI) has released its most recent issue of Commercial Fleet Tire Digest.
This month’s issue focuses on reducing overall tire issues.
One way to reduce tire issues, PSI writes, is to educate drivers on how their performance impacts their equipment.
“Drivers have a major impact on tire performance. Industry studies have shown that drivers can adversely affect tire treadwear by up to 35 percent,” PSI says. “Drivers that are aggressive in their driving skills tend to scrub the tread much more quickly off the tire. Quick acceleration and aggressive turning all lead to tire issues. Brake skids and tire flat spots are trending higher. Most of the time this is caused by the drivers. It is an education issue.”
