How much do you know?
Come on, take the challenge!
Today, let's chat about the lingo in the freight industry.
My truck tire has a section wearing down really quickly. What's going on with that?
Abnormal tyreWear
When a tire exhibits abnormal or uneven wear, where a specific area is wearing down excessively, it is referred to as "abnormal tyre wear." This condition shortens the tire's useful life and could pose a potential safety risk during driving.
I bought some cheap tires that look new but are actually retreaded. What are these tires called?
Retread Tires
As the name suggests, "retreaded tires" are old tires that have been processed through certain techniques to make them look new . They are relatively cheap, but quality can vary, so extra caution is needed when using them!
My truck often hauls heavy loads. What tires should I choose?
All Steel Radial Tire
All-steel radial tires, made with steel cord bodies for maximum strength, are ideal for heavy-duty trucks and buses. In contrast, semi-steel radial tires are typically used for smaller vehicles like cars.
My tire tread is almost worn down. What does it look like ?
Bald Tires
Bald tires don't mean they've lost their hair! They refer to tires with worn-out tread, almost non-existent. On wet roads, they lose significant grip, posing a serious risk and making driving extremely dangerous.
