Tyres with commercial applications have specific challenges. A quality commercial tyre can be measured by wear, pressure distribution and rolling resistance. Challenges may include:
Longer distances – Particularly with trucks and trailers, tyres will have to travel across tens to hundreds of miles per journey with much more frequent usage than domestic cars.
Heavier loads – All types of vehicles and plant using commercial tyres will carry loads much heavier than that of the domestic car user. This will affect mileage and economy.
