Save On Truck Tire Repair: Daily Driving Tips To Reduce Treadwear

1. Remove excess weight from your vehicle. Depending on their load index, your truck tires can probably carry thousands of pounds. For example, the average light truck tire may be rated at a load index of 121-124, which means they can carry around 3197-3527 pounds of weight. But that doesn’t mean they should, especially if you want your treads to last!

In short, the more weight you load into your truck, the more weight your tires are forced to carry, and the faster your treads wear down. Excess weight also increases the risks of other forms of tire damage and failure, such as tire blowout, so try to remove as much as possible before you set out.

2. Take care to avoid road hazards and rough road conditions. Hitting potholes, racing over speedbumps, and driving your truck over rough road surfaces can all accelerate treadwear and put you at risk of wheel alignment issues.

3. Take it slow—As you drive, your tires will naturally wear down, but aggressive acceleration and high-speed cornering accelerates the process by creating excess friction. What’s more, back to our previous point, high speeds also give you less time to avoid road hazards. So if long tread life is your aim, ease off the gas!

4. Brake less, coast more—Braking creates friction, which accelerates tire wear, so learn to coast to get the most out of your truck tires!
