Tyre Rotation & Pressure Check

Tyres are one of the largest line items in a fleet budget and a major safety exposure. Underinflation destroys casings from the inside through heat, kills fuel economy, and is the leading cause of blowouts — and it is invisible without a gauge.

The Procedure

The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

  1. Record tread depth at all positions
  2. Set cold inflation pressure to the load-specific spec
  3. Inspect for irregular wear indicating alignment or balance issues
  4. Check wheel torque and look for signs of loose fasteners
  5. Rotate per the fleet's wear pattern policy

Why This PM Exists

Tyres are one of the largest line items in a fleet budget and a major safety exposure. Underinflation destroys casings from the inside through heat, kills fuel economy, and is the leading cause of blowouts — and it is invisible without a gauge.

What Skipping It Looks Like

Premature tyre replacement across the fleet, blowouts with real crash potential, and measurably worse fuel economy on every mile driven. Irregular wear patterns also point at alignment problems nobody is reading.

Setting the interval

Every 10,000 miles or quarterly. Check cold, against the pressure for the actual load — not a single number applied to the whole fleet. Treat irregular wear as a diagnostic, not just a rotation trigger.

Common Questions

How often should this PM run?
Quarterly. Every 10,000 miles or quarterly. Check cold, against the pressure for the actual load — not a single number applied to the whole fleet. Treat irregular wear as a diagnostic, not just a rotation trigger.
How long does it take?
Budget about 1.0 hour for a technician working to the standard procedure. ChatterFix uses that estimate for capacity planning, then learns your plant's actual time from completed work orders.
What happens if we skip it?
Premature tyre replacement across the fleet, blowouts with real crash potential, and measurably worse fuel economy on every mile driven. Irregular wear patterns also point at alignment problems nobody is reading.
