Commercial trucks today are running heavier loads for longer distances, making proactive tire maintenance fundamental to highway safety. As a leading tire company serving commercial fleets, Bridgestone is reminding commercial truck drivers and fleet managers to practice tire safety by following these steps:
Select the right tire for the application -- consider the proper tire size, load carrying capacity, speed capability, and service type.
Set and maintain proper cold inflation pressure for every tire before each haul.
Inspect tires for road-related damage such as cuts, cracks, bulges, and penetrations.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended speed of a tire, which may be lower than posted highway speed limits.
