Reliability analysis has a very important role in supporting the operation of a system in harsh working conditions such as mines. Haul trucks are considering as a main asset of an open pit mine. Dump trucks are comprised of different sub-systems and among them, tires have a significant effect on the haulage economy. This study focused on the remaining life estimation of the mining truck tires considering the environmental operating conditions at an open pit iron ore mine in Iran. To achieve this, the proportional hazard model was used to estimate the conditional reliability functions and then the mean residual life of tires at the various initial survival times. The results of this study show that the ambient temperature has a significant effect on the reliability performance. By increasing the initial life of tires from 500 to 1000 h, the mean residual life will be decreased by 21% and 30% in low (below 15°C) and high (above 15°C) ambient temperature levels. These results are helpful to keep the truck tire performance at a desirable level by considering the appropriate preventive maintenance intervals.
