For businesses operating multiple vehicles, a proper tyre management programme can deliver significant savings. We cover inspection schedules, budgeting and mobile service options.
For businesses operating five or more vehicles, an ad hoc approach to tyre maintenance is a significant and avoidable cost. A structured tyre management programme reduces unplanned expenditure, minimises downtime and ensures the fleet remains compliant with road safety regulations.
1Scheduled Inspection Cycles
Establish a documented inspection schedule for every vehicle in the fleet. For high-mileage vehicles, weekly tread and pressure checks are advisable; fortnightly for lower-mileage vehicles. Keep records — a vehicle consistently wearing its front tyres faster than others likely has an alignment or loading issue worth addressing.
2Tyre Rotation for Even Wear
Systematically rotating tyres between axles at 8,000–10,000 mile intervals evens out the differential wear rates between front and rear tyres. For a fleet, this translates to fewer emergency replacements, more predictable budget planning and a lower overall cost per tyre.
3Procurement and Cost Control
Consolidating tyre procurement through a single mobile tyre provider enables volume pricing and eliminates the administrative overhead of multiple suppliers. A mobile provider also removes the vehicle downtime cost associated with garage visits, as servicing can be carried out at the depot outside business hours.
4Compliance and Documentation
Fleet operators have a legal duty of care to ensure all vehicles are roadworthy. Maintaining dated inspection records provides evidence of compliance in the event of an incident and helps identify problem vehicles or drivers early before minor issues escalate into costly failures.
