What is the real cost of a flat tire for your fleet?

In 2016, Fleet Financials (a sister publication of Modern Tire Dealer) conducted its first-ever survey with fleet managers to understand how a flat tire affects a fleet's productivity and profitability. America's Tire Fleet can help you cut those costs.

Average fleet size = 112 vehicles
Average number of flat tires per year = 97
Average estimated cost of driver downtime = $91.32
Average estimated cost of vehicle downtime per flat = $117
Average overall tire change cost = $130.10
Average cost of a flat tire = $338.42

Causes:

  • Road construction debris
  • Weather and seasonal elements, especially winter conditions and excessive heat
  • Improper tire pressure

Solutions:

  • Require drivers to check tires before and after driving a vehicle
  • Require drivers to regularly check their air pressure
  • Ensure tires are replaced when there is 4/32 of an inch of tread depth remaining
