Fleet tyre choice should be based on real world data, not just unit price, with the potential to make substantial savings on maintenance budgets, according to i247 Group, the outsourced fleet management provider. The Poole-based company, which maintains over a million vehicles on UK roads, says that fleets can make significant cost savings with a tyre policy based on the right tyre for their vehicle and operating behaviour (including load, start-stop and how they drive). In one recent tyre spend analysis, i247 Group found savings in excess of £1million.
