When we undertook a transport audit for a client we discovered that a truck which had reportedly been fitted with new front tyres only three days before had 12mm of tread remaining. The figure should have been nearer 18mm.
Analysis of maintenance records showed a number of similar instances suggesting the trucks were being fitted with part worn tyres but the company was being invoiced for new tyres. They quickly changed their tyre supplier.
