Tire Rotation
Tire rotation is a practical means of reducing tire costs For many directional type designs it is permissible to
when irregular or rapid wear are prevalent. Rotation change the direction of rotation after the first 3/32 ˝- 5/32 ˝
patterns, such as those recommended by vehicle of tread wear. Contact tire manufacturer for pattern-specific
manufacturers, may be followed. There are no restrictions recommendation. The casing, after retreading, may be run
on criss-cross rotation. Tires having directional type tread in either direction, as the casing is not directional.
patterns should be mounted in the recommended direction
of rotation for optimum performance.

Regrooving
Regroove only those tires marked “Regroovable” on the sidewall.
Tires with a remaining tread depth of less than 2/32 ˝ should not
be regrooved. It is recommended that tires exhibiting severe
irregular wear not be regrooved. Regrooved tires should not
be placed on the front axle.
Regrooving should be restricted to the tire’s original
tread grooves. A minimum rubber gauge of 4/32 ˝ must
be maintained between the tire’s top belt and the
re-grooved grooves.

Branding
The location for branding must be chosen carefully due to the
thin sidewall gauge. Many sidewalls have branding panels, or
designated branding areas as noted in sketch at left. Branding in
the wrong location may result in eventual tire failure. It is
recommended that the brand be located between the
rim line and size panel.
Branding depth should be 1/32 ˝. Do not brand
deeper than 2/32 ˝.

Wheel Alignment
Toe-In
Proper wheel alignment is essential for optimum tire life and
vehicle handling characteristics. Alignment settings should
be checked with the truck loaded. Alignment adjustments
can be made on an unloaded truck; however, modifications in
the vehicle manufacturer’s alignment recommendations may
be required for proper “loaded” settings.

Front Axle Recommendations

Toe-in (Positive) A<B • Toe-in: set as close to zero as vehicle manufacturer’s
Toe-out (Negative) A >B recommendations allow in loaded condition. Do not set
beyond zero, as a toe-out condition will develop.
• Caster: set to the maximum positive setting
which the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations
will allow.
Caster Vertical CL King Pin CL
Caster Angle • Camber: set as close to zero degrees as the
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations allow
in loaded condition.

Drive Axle Recommendations

Misalignment of the drive axles may also cause rapid or
irregular wear on the front axle as well as the drive axle
due to constant steering correction. Drive axle alignment
should be corrected before front axle settings are made.
Drive axles should be aligned in the following manner:
1. Position drive axles perpendicular to the
chassis centerline.
2. For tandem drives, the drive axles should be
positioned parallel to one another.
Camber CLTire
Camber Angle in Degrees If they are not parallel, the condition is referred to as
“tandem scrub.” Our recommendation is the distance
between the axle centers is set so the distance on the
right is equal to or greater than the distance on the left
by up to 1/8 ˝ (.125˝).
The distance on the axle centers on the right should

Balance/Runout

Tire and wheel imbalance may result in irregular tire wear. Steering axle and drive axle tires
should be balanced dynamically for best results. Vibration may also be the
result of mismatch of the high and low spots of the tire and wheel.
To resolve vibration problems, the runout of tire and rim
should be measured, then matched in the following manner:
1. With the tire mounted on the rim, number both at
12 asymmetrical points.
2. Measure runout at both shoulders of the tire
(inside & outside) and record the results.
(Note: accuracy in these measurements is essential.)
3. Demount the tire, measure both sides of the rim for
runout, record the results, then average the inside and Proper Position for
outside measurements. Measuring Runout
4. Matching the lowest average point of the rim to the
highest average point of the tire, remount the tire,
then balance accurately.
5. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure Runout of tire
since the tire cannot be measured accurately
Runout of rim
while on an imperfect rim.
Note: If a runout dial is not available, rotate the tire 180°
relative to the rim and remount. If the vibration persists,
rotate the tire another 90°, then another 180°.
6. The maximum suggested radial runout for a rotating
tire/wheel assembly is 0.095 inches for both front and
rear tire positions. If runout exceeds these limits, check for
bent rims, cocked rims, improperly adjusted wheel bearings,
improper tire bead seating, tire flat spots, improperly tightened Runout of Tire Due to Runout of Rim
rim clamps and rear rim spacers.

Special procedure for improving steering tire run-out

on vehicles with hub-piloted wheels
If you suspect high run-out on the steering position and have hub-piloted
wheels, use the following procedure to improve the radial run-out.
1. Measure the radial run-out of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
vehicle’s steering position. Mark the highest and lowest points of
the radial run-out on the tire with chalk or other marker.
2. Remove the tire/wheel assembly and position the hub so that the
gap between any two of the hub pilot pads is at 12:00. With the hub
in this position place the tire/wheel assembly on the hub so that
the high point mark is at the top (12:00). Carefully tighten one nut
with a hand wrench until it is snug enough to hold the wheel securely.
Reposition the wheel on the hub pilot pads while tightening.
(Don’t use an air wrench to tighten the first nut. It will reposition the wheel and
not let gravity keep the wheel in contact with the hub pads that are at the top). After
the first nut is tightened with the hand wrench, tighten all nuts according to sequence
and procedure shown in TMC RP 222, User’s Guide to Wheels and Rims. continues >>

Large Truck Fuel Economy

A NEW PERSPECTIVE
Anything you do to save fuel will improve your profitability
– if it doesn’t cost more than it saves.
Bridgestone Commercial Solutions (BCS) has been studying the
relationship of tires to fuel economy for over a quarter of a century.
What follows summarizes that research.
For a detailed look at truck tire fuel economy, ask your BCS representative
for a copy of Tires & Truck Fuel Economy, a Real Answers magazine
“Special Edition.” You may also view this publication online or order copies
by visiting commercial.firestone.com.
Today’s trucks have an estimated engine efficiency of approximately
40 percent. Therefore, only about 40 percent of the energy converted
from diesel fuel reaches the axles. Some things influence use of this
40 percent of available energy more than others. We’ll take them
in order, starting with some of the largest.

What affects “real world” fuel economy?

Just as trucking is “a business of pennies,” so is truck fuel economy.
Tires are just one of many components affecting fuel economy, but
one of the easiest to change and test.
Remember though, because of the difficulty of controlling variables
in the real world, test results can vary considerably from what you find
in day-to-day operations.

Advanced computer methods

Your BCS representative has an innovative computer program that accurately compares
the fuel economy of different tires, tires from different manufacturers, even retreads.
This program, Tire Life Cycle Cost (TLCC), makes a true comparison by
compensating for the fact that tire fuel economy changes constantly throughout
tread life, and by accounting for differences in tire prices,
casing values, installation costs and tread life.
TLCC will show you not only what the costs are, but
what portion are for tread wear and what portion are
for fuel consumed by the tires.
It’s the most accurate “What if?”-way to select tires that
will perform best. And only BCS has TLCC. Ask your
representative to show you how much you can save.

ROLLING RESISTANCE CASING

The tread contributes about 35-50 percent

of the tire’s overall rolling resistance, while
the casing contributes about 50 to 65 percent.

Wear effect on rolling resistance

Since the contribution of the tread is large, as the tread
wears away, rolling resistance decreases. Fuel economy with retreads
As they approach wear-out, many tires become very similar If only the tread is modified to produce fuel economy, the

that of the best new tires, but at a fraction of their cost.
In addition, many BCS casings are specially constructed
for fuel efficiency, and when retreaded – especially
new when capped with a fuel-efficient tread – may help to
improve fuel economy.

Inflation pressure effects

30% worn = 2% savings Inflation pressure effects are relatively small, but
you can expect about a 2 percent improvement in
fuel efficiency over a range of 20 PSI below to 20 PSI

What effect can fuel-efficient tires have? Here are some steps to take:
Generally you will only see about half of the scientific Recommendations
test results in the real world. Much of this is because
of interference by other factors outside the controlled
variables of testing. 1 Test things yourself: If you can’t convince
yourself and your accountant, what you’re saving
may be too small to stand out from the “noise.”
So, any fuel economy method that does not produce
at least a 2-percent improvement in controlled testing
will probably not produce a measurable real-world effect.
2 Limit your investment: Try trailer tires first, or
better still, try fuel-efficient trailer retreads first.
Taking action
BCS recommends you conduct your own tests to
determine whether your investment will achieve a

may save just as much fuel as wide base tires, without
forcing you to buy new wheels. If you can’t benefit from

Comparing fuel receipts with odometer readings is
something you can do yourself, on an ongoing basis,
to see if your fuel economy program is working. 4 Try other methods: Driver behavior has a big
effect on fuel economy. Driver training or incentives
may be a better investment than new equipment.

DRIVER INFLUENCED

High Speed Driving

Operating tires beyond their maximum speed
rating causes excessive heat buildup in the tire
which may lead to premature tire removal
or possible tire failure.

Proper Tire Load

Overloading, which may be caused by
the tire being underinflated, causes
excessive heat buildup in the tire
which may lead to premature tire
removal or possible tire failure.

Proper Tire Inflation

Under inflation causes excessive heat buildup
in the tire which may lead to premature tire
removal or possible tire failure.

Other controllable factors affecting tire heat include

repeated hard braking or mechanical issues such as
out-of-balance or dragging brakes.

HEAT BUILDUP IN TIRES
VEHICLE INFLUENCED

Air Flow Restrictive Aerodynamics

Recent evolutions in vehicle aerodynamics, to improve
fuel economy, may lead to additional heat buildup
in tires due to the lack of cooling pass-by air flow.

Engine Emission
Control Equipment
Recent evolutions in engine and emission
control equipment can elevate
temperatures in and around the
steer tire fender wells.

ENVIRONMENTAL
INFLUENCED

Elevated Ambient Temperatures

Ambient temperature is an uncontrollable heat
source that has a direct and significant impact on
tire heat, especially during the summer in southern states.

Understanding factors that affect heat in tires is important to

maximize tire performance in your operation. Heat damage to
tires is cumulative and irreversible. It is critically important to
closely monitor and manage tire heat-contributing factors that
are within an operator’s control. The use of a tire pressure and
temperatures monitoring system (TPMS) is highly recommended.

DOT Tire ID Number Formats

The U.S. Department of Transportation revised requirements for the tire identification
number (TIN) format that tire manufacturers must comply with by April 13, 2025.
Prior to that time, the previous format may be used. It is expected that tire
manufacturers will be phasing-in use of the latest format. Therefore, tire distributors
and retailers will see a mixture of DOT TIN formats used on the variety of tires they
sell/service before the latest regulation takes full effect.

The DOT TIN is commonly known as the “DOT number” and is marked in full on at
least one sidewall near the bead. Please refer to the infographic below.

Descriptive Code
Plant Size (Optional) Date of Manufacture
Code Code Up to 4 characters Week Year

Since
7/2/2000 DOT XX XX XXXX XXXX
Either format may be used before April 13, 2025 (DOT date 1525).

By
4/13/2025 DOT XXX XXXXXX XXXX
Plant Code Manufacturer’s Code Week Year
Date of Manufacture

Note that the last portion of the TIN is unchanged—identifying the tire manufacture
date using the same format for week and year. (For tires made before 7/2000, there
is one digit for the year.)

025 = 2nd week of 1995 (possibly 1985 or 1975)

Date of Manufacture 2608 = 26th week of 2008

Truck/Bus Tire Tread Rubber

Worn Color Appearance
The tread rubbers of Bridgestone, Firestone, and Dayton brand truck/bus tires incorporate
various technologies to optimize traction, wear, and other tire performance criteria.

For those tires engineered with dual tread compounds, once the outer tread rubber
(commonly referred to as cap compound) has worn away, the base tread rubber will
become exposed and may be apparent (see examples below). Depending on the design,
the base rubber may have a lighter or darker appearance than the outer tread rubber.
This color difference is a cosmetic condition as long as the tire is not damaged, has
adequate tread depth, and there is no condition that requires further evaluation with
a tire service professional or would make it necessary to remove it from service.

TBR Sidewall Repair & Identification

Background
Radial truck tires can successfully be repaired in the sidewall area.
When damaged body cord is removed and a reinforcing unit is used in
the repair process, a radial sidewall bulge may be visible. In 1984, the
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) issued a bulletin stating that bulges
up to 3/8 ˝ in height are permitted when associated with these repairs.

Issue
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is responsible for inspecting
commercial vehicles for safety defects and placing vehicles out of service
if defects such as tire separations or exposed cord/fabric are found. The
inspectors, in the past have had difficulty distinguishing between sidewall
bulges due to repairs (allowed) and tire separations.

Action
In October 1990, the CVSA agreed to accept the use of a blue triangular
identification adjacent to a sidewall repair bulge. A vehicle will not be placed
out of service if a tire repair bulge is 3/8 ˝ or less in height and is identified with
an adjacent blue triangle. The retread and repair industry will be incorporating
these identification patches into their sidewall repair procedures.

Extra-Deep-Tread Tires’
Lateral Stiffness Effects

M any drivers are aware of the feel of the trucks used on a daily basis
in fleets, and are sometimes sensitive to the ride dynamics of fitment
changes of new tire designs on the vehicle.
One of the sensations drivers notice is a side-to-side motion. This motion is
the byproduct of what is commonly referred to as lateral stiffness.
The lateral stiffness of a tire is due in large part to inflation pressure, as well
as the tire’s tread depth. Both of these factors vary over time. Reduced
inflation pressure and deeper tread depth results in lower lateral stiffness.
Therefore, some users may comment on experiencing a slight swaying with
newly installed extra-deep-tread drive tires, especially under full load or after
replacing worn drive tires.
The sensation the driver feels is the lateral stiffness effect of the extra-deep-
tread drive tire compared to the worn tire being replaced and does not affect
traction or warrant any concerns.
The lateral stiffness improves quickly as the tread wears and a driver will
become accustomed to the initial difference in sensation.

Bridgestone Firestone
Chassis Dynamometer Test Guidelines
for Truck/Bus Tires
I. Background
Vehicle manufacturers and many maintenance facilities conduct in-place
vehicle testing on twin-roll chassis dynamometers. Testing is usually
conducted over a short period of time on empty vehicles. If the following
procedure is not adhered to, irreversible damage may occur to the tire.

II. Procedure
To prevent excessive head buildup in the center of the tire tread, follow
the recommended time period based on roller diameter as listed below:

Maximum Allowable Time by Roller Diameter

8-5/8 ˝ Roller 18˝ Roller

3.5 minutes 6 minutes

Maximum Allowable Speed is 55 mph.

Load: These time restrictions apply regardless of the actual load and are,
in fact, more critical when the vehicle is tested without a load.

III. Precautions Example of Dyno Damage

To avoid the possibility of irreversible tire damage and/or failure during

testing, it is important that the following precautions be taken:
• Do not exceed the time and speed restrictions listed in part II.
• Allow at least one hour cool down between tests.
• When it is anticipated that a test will exceed the time/test value
established, a worn or “slave” tire should be used in place of the
new tire for testing purposes.
Questions regarding test procedures, loads, etc. should be directed to
your Regional Field Engineering Office.

Steam Cleaning Tires

CAUTION: Steam cleaning can damage a tire and render it unserviceable.
At many businesses throughout the United States, it is common practice to
use “steam cleaning equipment” to wash trucks and tires.
Nozzle temperature on steam cleaning equipment typically reaches 280°F.
When a steam cleaning nozzle is held too close to the sidewall of a tire for
as short a time as 45 seconds, a small spongy blister may appear on the
sidewall. When this blister is cut open, one will observe reverted rubber
resulting from the excessive localized heat.
Steam cleaning of tires can be harmful to tires when the nozzle is
concentrated in one spot for a period of time.
