Best Choice Tire and Service is Michigan’s leading semi truck and trailer tire facility. From sales to repair to replacement, we do it all! To help our customers understand more about their tires, we’re giving you 3 facts that are important for every trucker to know.
Inflation is Crucial
If your tires are over or underinflated, you’re not only risking a blowout – you could be putting additional wear and tear on other systems. Brakes and suspension systems can be affected by improper tire inflation. Perhaps even more importantly, your gas mileage can be affected by tire inflation, too!
Tread Wear
Tire tread can severely affect your truck’s safety. Tread helps your wheels grip the road and smoother contact surfaces mean longer stopping distances. If your tire tread is low on one or more tires, it’s time for some new rubber!
Proper Mounting
Correct alignment and wheel balance are just as important on semi trucks as they are on smaller, personal vehicles. If your steering wheels “pulls” to one side or your tires wear unevenly, balance and alignment are likely causes.

The summer is a tough season for truckers. Tire blowouts are frequent, overheating problems are common and breakdowns can be a regular occurrence. It’s important to keep rolling, but in order to stay on the road throughout the summer, you need the right equipment and service for your rig.
