The Tire Module
The tire module lets you track tires, record tread wear, and monitor all other aspects of tire usage using serial part numbers. You can also set up the tire module to track tires by brand number, if you do not use serial part numbers to mark your tires individually. Both methods let you get tire data you can use for making final decisions on purchasing tires for your fleet.
The Tires screen shows information about the selected tire on the left and all of the unit’s tires and axles on the right. The screen shows the selected tire with a blue outline, as in this illustration:
The screen also color codes the tire images, as seen in the illustration. The color codes are explained in this table:
| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
Gray |
There is no tire installed on this axle and position. You can assign tires to gray positions without charging items from shop inventory. |
Black |
There is no warning or replacement tread depth set for this tire in the Parts Catalog. The tire does show its pressure and depth readings, if available. |
Green |
The tire is above its tread depth warning level. |
Yellow |
The tire is at or below its tread depth warning level. |
Red |
The tire is below its tread depth replacement level. |
