How to Take Care of Your Backhoe Tyres (So They Last!)

Backhoes are a must-have on any job site—whether you're digging trenches, clearing drains, or doing utility work. But did you know that how you care for your tyres can make a big difference in performance, safety, and how long they last?

At Roda Land, we supply CEAT Specialty backhoe tyres designed for Malaysia’s tough working conditions. Here are some simple tips to help you get the most out of them.

1. Check Your Air Pressure – Daily!

Running with the wrong pressure is one of the fastest ways to wear out your tyres.

✅ Underinflated? You’ll get sidewall damage and heat buildup.
✅ Overinflated? You’ll lose grip and get uneven wear.

📌 Tip: Check your tyre pressure every morning before the engine starts. Follow the PSI recommended by CEAT or your machine manual.

2. Do a Quick Walk-Around Before Starting Work

Give your tyres a few seconds of attention.

🔍 Look out for:

• Cuts or cracks in the tread or sidewall

• Any bulges or air leaks

• Stones or nails stuck in the rubber

• Uneven wear patterns

Why? Catching small issues early can save you from bigger (and more expensive) problems later.

3. Rotate Your Tyres If Needed

Backhoes do a bit of everything—front bucket, rear digging, driving around the site. That means tyre wear isn’t always even.

🔄 If you see one pair wearing out faster, consider rotating the tyres to spread the wear evenly.

4. Avoid Sharp Turns and High-Speed Movement

Backhoes aren’t made to race. Sharp turns, sudden stops, or fast driving between sites can chew up your tyres fast—especially on rough ground.

🚜 Keep your movements smooth and steady for better tyre life.

5. Watch the Ground You’re Working On

Construction and estate sites often have debris—nails, sharp stones, broken concrete. These can damage your tyres if you’re not careful.

📍 Tip: Avoid running over hazards. Keep the work area clear when possible.

6. Clean Your Tyres After Work

Especially if you’re working in mud, sand, or areas with chemical runoff.

🧼 Use water and a brush to clean off dried mud, stones, or stuck debris. It helps prevent long-term wear and keeps your rims in good shape too.

7. Park Smart

When parking at the end of the day:

• Choose flat, dry ground

• Avoid puddles, oil, or chemical spills

• If storing long-term, consider lifting the tyres slightly to avoid flat spots
