How to Store OTR Tires and Lower TCO

Tips for Properly Storing OTR Tires

Whether it’s a farmer replacing the tires on their tractor or a construction company stocking up on skid steer tires, customers should consider a host of factors when selecting tires. For many, one of the most important criteria when buying new tires is the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a tire, or the overall cost of a tire to a customer from the time of purchase through resale or replacement. Maximizing the TCO of tires begins before they’re ever mounted to a machine, as proper storage plays a pivotal role in a tire achieving the lowest possible TCO.

In Re-tire-ment: Recycling and Reusing Scrap Tires

New Uses for Old Tires

We strive to make long-lasting, durable, and cost-effective tires for our farm, construction, forestry, and trucking customers. Despite our best efforts, however, every tire eventually needs to be replaced. Impressively, more than 87% of the 300 million tires discarded each year in the U.S. will be recycled or reused in some way. Some will find a second life on the farm as a rope swing or planter and others will be turned into incredible art. But the majority of these tires will find themselves in one of three major markets: tire-derived fuel, ground rubber applications, or civil engineering.
