Watch: ‘As Your Tires Turn’ – Truck tire selection and management tips

When it comes to choosing the right tires, you’ll likely start by considering the effect of the tires on your fuel economy, which might outweigh tread wear considerations you might have. Tires that are SmartWay-verified can be a good place to start when looking for your tire match made in heaven: This means these tires meet EPA limits for low rolling resistance and can also help reduce fuel consumption as compared to non-SmartWay tires, particularly in long haul operations.
