FAQ
What kind of tyres do trucks and buses need?
Trucks and buses require tyres with high load ratings, strong sidewalls, and tread designs suited to their operating environment. Long-haul trucks often use low rolling resistance tyres for better fuel economy, while city buses may require reinforced sidewalls and better grip for frequent stops. It’s important to choose tyres based on your vehicle’s weight, road conditions, and driving patterns. Always follow the manufacturer's load and speed index recommendations.
How often should truck or bus tyres be replaced?
Heavy vehicle tyres typically last between 80,000 and 120,000 kilometres, depending on usage, load, road surface, and maintenance. Tyres should be replaced when tread depth is worn below legal limits (1.5mm in Australia) or if there are signs of cracking, bulging, or irregular wear. Regular inspections, pressure checks, and rotations can help maximise tyre life and keep vehicles compliant and safe.
Can I use secondhand tyres on a commercial vehicle?
Secondhand tyres can be used on commercial vehicles if they meet the required safety standards and are thoroughly inspected for damage. Look for sufficient tread depth, no signs of sidewall cracking or structural issues, and matching load ratings. Using secondhand tyres is a budget-friendly option, especially for trailers or non-drive axles, but should always be done through a trusted supplier who checks tyres thoroughly.
