Tyre management is an important issue for commercial vehicle operators.

A tyre that’s legal on the day of an inspection may not be before the next PMI.

It’s up to your technician to make a careful judgement on whether the tyre will still be legal by the time the next inspection comes up.

Having a tyre replacement or re-cutting policy that’s appropriate to your business will help. It’s a simple and safe approach.

Vehicles running off-road should be checked by drivers every time they leave those sites.

If you think there are greater risks, ask an external contractor to check your tyres every week or fortnight.

Wheel security guidance should always be followed – keep a record of this too.
