The Challenges Cold Conditions Present TBR Tires

Truck and bus radial (TBR) tires are designed to stand up to a wide range of demands, such as heavy loads, high speeds, and long operating hours. Another challenge facing TBR tires is the conditions in which they work—for example, freezing-cold temperatures. By establishing a consistent cold-weather maintenance program and investing in application-specific tires, fleet owners and owners/operators can mitigate the risks that temperatures below 45°F present to their tires—the temperature where they begin to lose their elasticity—along with improving productivity, safety, fuel efficiency, and return on their investment.
