The Federal Highway Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation is concerned with the loss of life, injury, and property damage that result from front tire failure on heavy-duty trucks. The Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety conducted an investigation of front tire failure on heavy trucks. This effort included an investigation of the magnitude of the front tire problem, baseline tire failure tests, and tests with devices commercially available which are designed to minimize the front tire failure problem. Baseline testing finalized the testing procedure and provided a comparative evaluation of variations in tire loading, tire construction, and misalignments. The device evaluation phase involved testing of twelve devices and concepts. A ranking of the devices tested and a cost-effective analysis summarize the findings of the program.
