lol, i can understand lowering air pressure for low traction situations, but why would you lower your psi while hauling?

[tpcinternational]

pressures are determined by the vehicles load and speed. Max pressure is only required when traveling fully loaded at highway speeds. In all other circumstances, the tires should be at reduced pressures for optimal vehicle performance. Benefits include reduced shock loading due to the smoother ride, improved fuel efficiency, increased tire life and less damage to the road surface.

sum vehicles allready come standard with that technology, and the hoses arent sticking out the side like this, cool vid though.

[tpcinternational]

the H1 (hummer) comes standard with this technology. But for big rigs its only available as an option. Some systems don't have the external hoses but they don't hold up well in extreme (hot/cold) climates.

This system is only successful in clean sand or clean other types of soils.

If you have foreign debris in the soil you're driving through, such as sticks or rocks, the half-flattened, projecting walls of the tires will be staked by those rocks or sticks. There are only a few places that I can think of, where you have perfectly clean soil.

In the areas I operate (Australia), the soil is either full of sharp rocks or sticks, and you'd have staked sidewalls in minutes at 30 psi pressures.

[tpcinternational]

Actually, Australia has been one of our best markets. Primarily in the forest industry. You have to remember that the super low pressures are only used at VERY slow speeds and for a limited period of time in most cases.

I operate a truck with Tireboss. The truck has 3 drive axles and 12 drive tires. Inflating from 40 psi to 100 psi is in the area of 10 to 12 minutes. How long would you be willing to wait for a caterpillar to arrive and pull you out?

[davetek490]

nice, let me design something that goes on work rigs that has un restrained hoses hanging out in mid air on the SIDES of the truck.. nothing could possibly go wrong with that......

[zeebov9]

Every Logging Truck in Britsh Columbia has this tire air system. Not ways the same make though. You wouldnt get far without it in the bush.

I would like as set for my trucks to test this in snow. on my ICE EXPLORER IN ICELAND and use this on the glacier.

[iceadventure]

@w30olds Me too Where to get it?

[iceadventure]

This looks good for my ICE EXPLORER 8x8 20 ton trucks. where can I get one for testing?

nothing worse than 'a mess in the bush'

[keniTRD]

sure it works!... but low pressure can cause damage to the tires, so this thing is not perfect.

[MASAIINA]

Try the tool M, and you will see how the traction control is rather easy.f

@tpcinternational i'm missing how a soft, "squishy" tire has better fuel economy than a firm, round tire? all other reasons make sense, that fuel efficiency one just sounds like a classic fuel bullshit selling point....
