The air is to the tire what oil is to the engine, so when it comes to your OTR (off-the-road) tires, nothing is more important than having proper tire inflation. This directly impacts the performance and longevity of your tires, which is linked to the overall productivity of your operation. That is why we’ve put together this air pressure guide, ensuring your equipment is maximized to its potential with tires ready to work.
In this pressure guide, you’ll learn the following:
1. The variables that affect air pressure; not every time, machines, and location will share the same practice when it comes to maintaining proper inflation.
2. Always check inflation on a “cold” tire and why this is important.
3. Why it’s important to increase air pressure if you overload by percentage.
