Info

Tires and Wheels Tire Replacement Front: replace front tires when less than 4/32 in. of tread depth remains. Check depth at three places equally spaced around the tire. Drive Axles or Trailers: replace tires on drive axles when less than 2/32 in. of tread depth remains in any major groove. Check depth at three places equally spaced around the tire. WARNING! Do not install regrooved or reinforcement-repaired tires on steering axles. They could fail unexpectedly and cause you to lose control of your vehicle resulting in an accident causing death or personal injury. WARNING! Do not replace original equipment tires with load ratings less than the original tires. Doing so could lead to unintentional overloading of the tire, which could cause a failure resulting in loss of vehicle control and an accident causing death or personal injury. Preventive Maintenance NOTE: To prolong the tires' life and make them safer, have their radial and lateral run-out checked at your Peterbilt Dealer. And of course have the tires balanced any time you change a tire. Matching Tires Be sure to buy matched tires for your vehicle, especially on the rear axles. Mismatched tires can cause stress between axles and cause the temperature of the axle lubricant to get too hot. Matched tires will help the driveline last longer and will give you better tire mileage. WARNING! Do not mismatch tires, it can be dangerous. Never mix tires of different design such as steel belted radials and bias ply tires, etc. Mixing tire types and sizes will adversely affect the road-holding ability of both types of tires and can lead to loss of vehicle control and causing death or personal injury. Make sure, too, that you use the right size tires on each wheel. Some trucks require different sizes on front and rear wheels. For safety, always use the recommended size and type of tires. – 214 – Y53-6027 Medium Duty (R05/09)
Preventive Maintenance Wheel and Tire Replacement WARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is calibrated for the specific tire revolutions per mile. Use of a tire and/or wheel size different from that originally installed on your vehicle may cause the ABS system to not function during a hard braking event. This could cause an accident resulting in death or serious personal injury. Consult with your Peterbilt dealer before using a different tire and/or wheel size than was originally installed on your vehicle. Tires and Wheels CAUTION: No indication will be given via the dashboard warning lights or buzzer if tires of the wrong size are installed on your vehicle. See the warning above for consequences of tires of the wrong size. Medium Duty (R05/09) Y53-6027 – 215 –
