Understanding the Importance of Tire Repair & Maintenance for Diesel Trucks

Diesel trucks typically carry heavy loads, operate over rough terrain, and encounter harsh weather conditions. The tires on both these trucks and accompanying trailers (if applicable) must be able to withstand these demands and provide reliable performance. Over time, tires can become damaged or worn, reducing their ability to provide adequate traction and stability. Regular tire maintenance is necessary to ensure the tires are in good condition and ready to handle the demands of the road.

Common Tire Issues for Diesel Trucks

Tire problems are common for both trucks and trailers, especially those that are driven frequently over rough terrain or in challenging weather conditions. Some of the most common issues include

• Punctures and cuts
• Sidewall damage
• Tread wear
• Under-inflation or over-inflation
• Balancing and alignment issues

If these problems are not addressed, they can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, increased wear and tear on the vehicle and a reduced lifespan for the tires.
