About this listen

Tire tariffs are driving up costs for fleets across the country in 2025 — but smart maintenance can make every mile count. In this episode of Wheel-End Wisdom, our sales team unpacks the real impact of rising tire prices, from replacement and retreads to long-term fleet budgets. We dive into the strategies fleets are using to stretch tire life, the risks of delaying replacements, and why balancing and puncture prevention are more important than ever.

You’ll hear practical insights on:

  • The single biggest challenge fleets face is due to tariff-driven price hikes
  • How fleets are adjusting tire replacement intervals, retreading decisions, and maintenance schedules
  • Proven ways to maximize tire life without compromising safety
  • The role of solutions like EQUAL FLEXX in reducing costs and extending tread life
  • Real-world examples of fleets navigating these challenges successfully

If you’re a fleet manager, tire dealer, or anyone in commercial trucking, this episode gives you actionable advice to adapt to higher tire costs and keep your wheels — and your business — rolling strong.
