Bridgestone Truck and Bus Tyres: troubleshooting and FAQs

Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Bridgestone Truck and Bus Tyres.

Troubleshooting tips

  • Check tyre pressure weekly when tyres are cold; underinflation by 10% can reduce fuel efficiency by up to 5% and cause irregular wear. Use a calibrated gauge and inflate to Bridgestone's recommended PSI for your specific tyre size and load.
  • Inspect tread depth using a tread depth gauge; replace tyres when tread reaches 1.6mm legal limit. For truck/bus tyres, rotate every 10,000 km to ensure even wear and extend tyre life.
  • Examine tyres for cuts, bulges, or embedded objects; remove stones or nails promptly to prevent air loss. If a puncture is repairable, use Bridgestone authorized service centers for proper patch-plug repairs.
  • Align wheels and balance tyres every 20,000 km or if you notice uneven wear or vibration. Misalignment can cause rapid shoulder wear and reduce tyre lifespan by up to 30%.
  • For retreading, ensure casings are inspected by Bridgestone certified retreaders; only retread tyres with intact casings to maintain safety and performance.
