2. Tire Pressure
So What?
Friend or Foe?

3. Correct Inflation is Essential
Under Inflated
Correct Inflation
Over Inflation
Tire Cross Section

4. Over Inflated

5. Correctly Inflated

6. Spot On for Maximum Traction

7. It’s All About the Footprint

8. Reduce Load, Reduces the Footprint

9. Would You Run 100 psi in Your 4x4?
6000 lb. Landcruiser
4 Tires at 35 psi
6,000/4 =1500 lb per tire
11,000 lbs. Tandem Drive
8 Tires at 100psi
11,000/8 = 1375 lb. per tire
Why Do We Run 100 psi in Our Trucks

10. Over Inflation Kills Tires

11. Correct Inflation Saves
One Tire Out of Three

12. What is the Correct Tire Pressure?
Weigh each axle
Consult the Tire Manufacturer
Inflate to the Recommended Pressures
EXAMPLE: Standard Tandem or Bogie Drive;
Legal Weight Limit = 34,000 lbs in most states
Two axles = 17,000 lbs. per axle
4 tyres per axle = 4250 lbs. per tire

13. What Is the Correct Tire Pressure?

14. How Low Can You Go?
Most Tire companies don’t like recommending any pressure under 65 or 70 psi, if Central
Tire Inflation is not used.
2.0 bar = 25psi
With CTI, pressures down to 25 psi, or 1.7 bar, depending upon the load.

15. Lower Pressures Work Great
On Gravel Roads
Gravel and Dirt benefit from lower pressures at heavier loads.

16. Another Problem
Brake Heat
Extra Load, More Heat, Higher Pressures, More Load

17. Whole Body Vibration
Our Drivers are Getting Vibrated to an Early Grave
