Best maintenance gives perfect retread tyre wear
An example of well managed tyres that lasted 527 days and did over 258,000 kilometres.
Tyre management improves CPK
Perfectly worn tyres managed through Bears Tyre Tracker
No Maintenance
Same tyre below as shown above from the other side – another tyre wasted due to no maintenance These show tyres that have not been maintained at all except for pressure. This is also diagonal tread wear. Tyres typically seem ok with the amount of tread but because of 0 maintenance 50% is shot. Eventually […]
What’s the financial results of correct tyre maintenance?
This chart is for steer tyres only for the same type of 28 prime movers doing the same routes. They effectively became un-maintained and the results show.
Poor Alignment
These show prime mover with extreme alignment problem. Bears Tyre Tracker will alert the operator to problems such as this immediately. Sometimes in large fleets this could be missed for many months before required action is taken. How many sets of steers have you lost like this because of lack of knowledge on your vehicles […]
Poor Rotation Timing
Show tyres that were out of rotation schedule by 10 weeks. As you can see not only would there be a lot of bouncing around but the large loss of tread life costing the operator big $$$$$$
Ruined Tyres get a New Lease of Life

Left unattended this scalloping would rapidly increase tyre wear and dramatically reduce the tyre life. How many do you see in your fleet like this? The scalloped tyres from above have been skimmed to rejuvenate […]
