Before buying urban service tires: stop-and-go city work

City and urban service tires are commercial tires bought for transit buses, refuse trucks, utility trucks and delivery trucks that spend the whole shift on city streets. Urban service tires have thick sidewalls, curb-guard ribs and high-scrub compounds, because city trucks stop, turn and rub curbs hundreds of times a day.

City and urban tire sizes to check when ordering

Urban service tires are ordered in sizes such as 305/70R22.5 and 305/85R22.5 for transit buses, 315/80R22.5 and 425/65R22.5 for the front axles of refuse trucks, and 11R22.5 and 295/75R22.5 for delivery and utility trucks. The size and load range on the vehicle's current tires decide the order.

Buying urban tires for transit and school buses

Bus fleets buy urban service tires with reinforced sidewalls and even-wearing rib treads for all positions. FMCSA rules (49 CFR 393.75) bar regrooved, recapped or retreaded tires from the front wheels of buses, so bus fleets buy new tires for every front position.

Buying urban tires for refuse trucks

Refuse truck fleets buy urban service tires with cut- and chip-resistant compounds for landfill visits, and high load ratings for heavy front axles. Refuse trucks that spend time at landfills on gravel and debris also consider mixed service tires.

Curb-guard sidewalls when buying urban tires

Urban service tires with curb-guard ribs are the purchase for vehicles that stop against curbs all day, because the ribs take curb scuffs that would cut a standard sidewall. Protected sidewalls also keep casings retreadable for drive and trailer positions.

Urban vs. short-haul and regional tires

City and urban service tires suit vehicles that never leave town. Delivery trucks that combine city stops with highway runs between towns buy short-haul or regional service tires.

Signs it is time to order urban service tires

Urban service steer tires must come off before tread reaches 4/32 in., and drive tires before 2/32 in., the federal minimums under 49 CFR 393.75. City fleets that retread drive casings order replacements earlier, while curb damage is minor and the casing is still sound.
