Know when to replace off-road tires
The ideal time to replace tires depends on your operational goals. If you require a certain traction level or plan to retread, replace the tires earlier versus maximizing tire life. To maintain traction levels, replace the tires before the tread is worn away at a point where traction has fallen off. For retreading, consider removing the tire with about 20 percent of the tread remaining, checking with your retreader for its recommendation. This additional tread at removal allows for a clean buffing job and helps protect the casing to increase the likelihood the casing can be retreaded.
If the tires have a lot of work hours on them or are older, it could be more cost effective to run through all of the tread. Otherwise, you risk a possible casing rejection or early failure of the retreaded product. In aggressive situations, consider changing tires before the tread is completely worn away. An upcoming job with many continuous work hours might also dictate a change in tires to make the best possible working situation.
