Throughout my career, one category where I have consistently thrived is negotiating, developing, and implementing commercial tire programs that deliver measurable savings.
I’ve often heard people say, “A tire is just a tire—why pay more for a premium tire?”
But when you manage a commercial fleet, the purchase price of the tire is only one piece of the equation. The real question is: Are you getting the best overall value and lowest total cost of ownership from your tire program?
When I work with a fleet, some of the first questions I ask are:
• What is your cost per 32nd of tread?
• Have you developed a casing specification that provides the best balance of cost, performance, and retreadability?
• What percentage of your casings are aging out before you receive their full value?
• Are you actively tracking your casing inventory and casing credits?
• Are you conducting monthly scrap-out reviews to understand why tires are being removed from service?
• Do you have clearly defined KPIs and SLAs with your tire provider?
• Most importantly, is your tire program actually reducing your cost per mile year over year?
These are the areas where a properly managed tire program can uncover significant savings.
Throughout my career, I have helped organizations generate millions of dollars in year-over-year savings by looking beyond the initial price of a tire and focusing on performance, casing management, retreading, supplier accountability, and total cost of ownership.
