Truck Tyre Safety??
Answers:
I drive trucks for a living and I can tell you when you phone for a puncture to be repaired the tyre company will want the size, make and model number of the tyre for them to match as close as possible to what is fitted to the vehicle already.
I can tell you for definite that if you are driving a vehicle with 4 wheels fitted to the drive axle that what ever side gets a puncture that it is advisable to change both tyres on that side as a difference in varying tread will put excess weight on the other tyres thus the possibility of causing excess damage to the other tyres fitted to the same axle.
I have experienced a case of only 1 tyre being changed thus causing another to blow out.
as long as tread wear is similar, drive away.
it makes little difference.. just dont mix radial with bias ply.ever
After a few months or so and in wet weather. Yes. As not all tyres from different manufacturers wear and tear in the same way. So gradually the tyres on the same axle may have different tread depths, meaning uneven handling in wet weather.
could do yes because not all tyres perform the same in different weather conditions and while all within the law people have different standards
I'm not sure - I know its fine on a car
don't mix radial with bias ply
a. it's really dangerous
b. It's against the law cause it's really dangerous
