The things you can do to assure getting the long life
built into the Super Swamper TSL tires are:
1) Keep your truck in good mechanical condition and do
not run with worn out shocks.
2) Maintain the proper air pressure for your driving and
load conditions. Check the air pressure once a month with a GOOD
accurate air gauge. Two things support the weight of a vehicle...the
volume of air and....the airs pressure. With big tires the large volume of
air in the tire will SUPPORT the vehicle but the tire will not be
stable...the tire will look OK but when running on the highway at
high speed it will wiggle and squirm which the tire is not designed for
and it will not deliver near the mileage it could with the proper
inflation pressure. This is not important when running off road because
you don't have the speed plus the ground is softer than the tire but when
you get back on the highway you should bring the pressure back up again to
whatever pressure you have determined is best for the loads carried and
your driving habits. Big tires will almost always LOOK like they
have enough air when actually they may not for highway driving. So don't
just kick your tires...check them. If you want to see what we mean try
letting the air pressure down to 12 pounds or so...you probably won't be
able to notice anything abnormal unless yours is a very heavy truck...but
the tire, at 12 PSI is seriously under inflated for highway
service.
3) Rotate the tires front to back and back to front about
every four to six thousand miles...do not criss-cross...keep the tires on
the same side of the vehicle. This practice will help to even out the
uneven wear that often shows up on the front tires' outer lugs from hard
cornering or a lot of in-town driving. |
