When you're driving over rocky ground, tires can wear out pretty quickly. What strategies do you use for wear management, rotation, and maintenance to maximize the life of your haul truck tires?
 
Learned right from the start that maintaining the haul roads and being careful around sharp turns could significantly prolong tire life in the mines. It was a game changer
 
Back in the Nevada pits we used to switch out tires pretty frequently and take it easy on the speeds, just some simple habits that really helped us save a lot of rubber when the terrain got rough.
