Truck Tyre Inspection

No. A visual check has limits. Internal damage may require removal and examination, especially after running underinflated or an impact.

Note the wheel position, where the wear appears and whether the pattern has returned after previous replacement. Share photographs only when safe to obtain.

Describe how quickly pressure falls and any previous work. The cause could involve the tyre, valve, bead area or wheel and needs assessment.

No. The tyre inspection scope must be agreed. It does not replace the operator’s full maintenance or roadworthiness inspection.

Where appropriate, findings should explain whether further assessment, repair or replacement is proposed. Agree the reporting format when booking.

Do not assume it is safe to continue. Explain the defect promptly and seek a competent assessment before deciding how the vehicle should be used.

The number of tyres, inspection scope, travel and any removal needed affect the assessment charge. Repairs, replacements and wider mechanical investigation should be agreed separately.

Describe the symptom, when it began and any recent impact, puncture or pressure warning. Supply the tyre size, wheel position and relevant inspection or maintenance records. Call 0800 111 6480 to confirm the scope, price and attendance.
