Fleet Position Planning

Choosing a different pattern for steer, drive and trailer positions instead of running one pattern everywhere.

Why It Matters

The Problem This Removes

Resunyou Co. Limited helps fleet operators and distributors solve tyre performance challenges by aligning tyre patterns with specific wheel positions. This approach improves casing life, reduces wear costs, and supports consistent retreadability across all positions.

Running the same tyre pattern on all positions leads to uneven wear, shorter casing life, and higher total cost of ownership. By matching the right pattern to each position - steer, drive, trailer - fleet buyers can extend tyre life, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce replacement frequency.

Stage By Stage

How It Works In Practice

  1. Route and surface survey Road conditions vary by route. Rough surfaces accelerate wear on certain positions, especially steer tyres. We assess the typical road surfaces and driving conditions for each route to determine the best tyre pattern for each wheel position.
  2. Axle load review Axle loads differ between steer, drive, and trailer positions. Overloading a tyre reduces casing life and increases failure risk. We review axle load data to match tyre load index and construction to the actual load in each position.
  3. Position by position pattern choice Using one pattern across all positions does not account for different wear patterns and stress levels. We select specific tyre patterns optimized for steer (handling and wear), drive (traction and durability), and trailer (casing life and load support).
  4. Pressure policy Incorrect inflation pressure leads to uneven wear, reduced casing life, and higher rolling resistance. We define pressure settings tailored to each position and load condition to maintain optimal contact and casing integrity.
  5. Rotation plan Lack of rotation plan causes premature wear in high-stress positions. We establish a rotation schedule that balances wear across positions and extends overall tyre life.
  6. Casing and retread policy Casing life is wasted when patterns are not suited to the position's stress levels. We recommend retreadable patterns and casing management practices based on position-specific wear and load history.
  7. Wear review Without regular wear checks, problems go unnoticed until tyres fail. We conduct periodic wear assessments to verify performance and adjust patterns or policies as needed.
  8. Repeat order Inconsistent tyre selection leads to supply issues and higher costs over time. We support repeat container orders with consistent, position-optimized tyre selections based on proven performance.
