What is the leading cause of enroute tire failures?
Tire failures account for 51% of enroute delays according to leading road service providers. Lack of inflation pressure is still the leading cause of enroute tire failures. In fact studies have shown that over 90% of the tire debris found on U.S. highways was caused by underinflation. On average tire delays result in 2 ½ hours of vehicle downtime. The cost of a new tire, driver delay time, lost vehicle/driver productivity, and penalties for late delivery really makes enroute tire failures costly. Top up.giflinefade.
