Inspecting & Pressure
Weigh all tire positions separately and use
the tire charts to determine correct tire ination
pressure. All pressures are rated at a cold psi.
Cold psi is dened as early in the morning
before the day’s ambient temperature, sun’s
radiant heat or the heat generated while driving
have caused the tire pressure to temporarily
increase. Check tire ination pressure every
morning before driving. Use a quality truck tire
gauge with an angled head to ensure access to
the dual wheel positions of the drive axle.
Ensure the valve cap is replaced on the stem
after the ination pressure is checked. Use valve
stem caps with a positive seal to prevent air
escaping from the valve stem. If extension hoses
are on the valve stem, make sure they are good
quality reinforced stainless steel braid. Attach
hoses securely to the outer wheel. The valve
stem cap guarantees the valve core will remain
free of dirt and foreign material. Material lodged
between the valve core and internal stem can
cause slow leaks resulting in tire failure.
Optimum tire performance is achieved at
proper ination pressure for the load carried.
DO NOT mix tires of different tread patterns,
size or construction. The difference in traction
could cause abnormal handling, rear end gear
bind and mechanical damage to the drive train.
CAUTION:
Never let air out of a hot tire.
Over-ination can cause:
Hard ride.
Tire bruising or carcass damage.
Rapid tread wear in the center of the tire.
Under-ination can cause:
Tire squeal on turns
Separations
Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of
the tread
Circumferential breaks
Tire container may bruise or rupture
Higher risk of road hazard
Tire cord breakage
Loss of casing durability
Excessive tire temperature
High fuel consumption
Reduced handling quality
Sudden tire failure
WARNING:
A slow leak may go unnoticed on one of
the dual tires. This can cause the good
tire to fail by exceeding the load limit.
Tires with damaged sidewalls can burst
upon inflation. A flat or nearly flat tire
can also generate enough heat from
friction to ignite.
