Properly selected and quality tires for trucks — this is very important. The quality of the grip on the road and the degree of controllability of the car that determine safety on the road depends on the quality of the tires. You can use the maximum technical characteristics of the truck can only if the tires are selected correctly, the size of the cargo wheel corresponds to the car and the tire is not damage. To make the best choice, it is necessary to be guided by a number of criteria.

1. The choice of tires should be made in accordance with the width of the wheel rim and recommendations for your truck.
2. It is necessary to check the tire pressure at least twice a month.
3. Inspection of all tires should be carried out every six months, paying special attention to: to check the degree of tread wear, the presence of cuts, local damage and foreign objects (particles of gravel, nails, etc.); to check sidewalls for cuts, cracking, wear and abnormal deformations.
4. Periodically balance your wheels.
5. After a strong impact, inspect the tire for any stuck objects in the tread, cuts.
6. Store tires for trucks correctly.
7. If your tires are tubeless, do not use car cameras in them.
8. Installation - dismantling of tires should be carried out by professionals.
9. Do not overload the vehicle with a load above the permitted weight.
10. Adhere to the high-speed mode specified by the tire manufacturer. The speed index is indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
11. Truck tires used on the same axle must be the same except for the “spare.”

Tires are divided into seasonal classes: summer, winter and all-season. The belonging of a tire to a particular class is determined by the mass of various criteria, the main one of which is the tread pattern. The summer tire has relatively shallow tread grooves; protrusions of the protector, as a rule, a large area, and they either do not exist at all, or very few small slits. t is designed for dry weather. Protector at the winter tire with a large pattern, with deep and wide grooves, with a large number of small slots, providing adhesion to a slippery road. Due to the fault of such a pattern, the winter tire quite heavily rolls and makes a lot of noise, in addition, wears out quickly, because it is made of soft rubber. Winter tires for trucks are divided into three main groups: studded (sold with studs installed in the factory, their operation without spikes is undesirable), studless and those that can be used in studded or non-studded versions. Studded tires, of course, are good on icy roads and in the snow - the probability of skidding is small and the stopping distance is minimal. But on a clean hard surface, the thorns only interfere: when braking, there is a danger of locking wheels and skidding, because the steel spikes slide well on the asphalt. Modern technology allows you to create studless winter tires, able to "hold" on the ice no worse than studded. All-season tires for trucks are marked on the sidewall or All Seasons (“All seasons”), or Any Weather ("Any weather"). Some manufacturers avoid the abbreviated variants of these inscriptions: AS and AW respectively. The rain, - the main elements of the tread of the rain tire - a deep water-evacuation canal dividing the tire into two "half-lines" (it is as if two narrow tires in one wide), and obliquely cut transverse grooves , through which water is ejected from the contact patch, which drastically reduces the likelihood of aquaplaning. Off-road tires, like cars, are also divided into seasonal classes, although for them binding to the season is not the determining criterion. The main for off-road tires is specialization in specific off-road conditions. Snowy virgin soil, deep sand, swamp, rocks, etc. - for each of these "nominations" are produced their own, highly specialized tire models. Tires of the upper classes are made using special, "racing" technologies, involving a sharp tightening of the tire requirements in all respects: heavy-duty, super-resistant to wear, super-fast, ultra-light on the move, etc. Most manufacturers designate tires for trucks of higher grades by HP (High Performance) and UHP (Ultra High Performance). Driving  the truck with low pressure in the tires leads to their overheating. Lowered pressure and overheating can cause damage and irreversible consequences. Always monitor the condition of tires!!!
