Perform Tire Maintenance Inspection using eAuditor

Tire Maintenance refers to the regular inspection, care, and servicing of vehicle tires to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Proper tire maintenance is essential for safe driving, fuel efficiency, and even tire wear, helping prevent accidents and costly replacements.

Performing Tire Maintenance Inspection using eAuditor ensures tire safety, longevity, and roadworthiness by standardizing checks for wear, pressure, alignment, and damage across all vehicle types. eAuditor enables real-time digital inspections, photo documentation, corrective action tracking, and maintenance reporting to support efficient tire management and regulatory compliance.

Key Steps for Performing Tire Maintenance Inspection using eAuditor:

1. Set Up the Inspection Template

• Task: Load or customize a tire inspection checklist in eAuditor.
• Objective: Ensure consistency in inspections across all vehicles or fleets.
• Process:
  • Include sections for vehicle ID, tire type, position (front, rear, spare), and inspector details.
  • Integrate fields for photos, ratings (e.g., pass/fail), and notes.

2. Check Tire Pressure

• Task: Measure tire pressure with a calibrated gauge.
• Objective: Maintain manufacturer-recommended PSI for optimal performance.
• Process:
  • Input PSI readings directly into the eAuditor form.
  • Use conditional logic to flag under-inflated/over-inflated tires automatically.
  • Assign follow-up actions if pressure is outside the safe range.

3. Inspect Tread Depth

• Task: Measure tread depth using a tread depth gauge.
• Objective: Ensure sufficient traction and legal compliance.
• Process:
  • Record measurements in 32nds of an inch or mm for each tire.
  • Flag any tread below the legal minimum (e.g., 2/32 inch in many regions).
  • Use photos to document visibly worn or uneven treads.

4. Assess Tire Condition

• Task: Perform a full visual inspection.
• Objective: Detect any external damage or irregularities.
• Process:
  • Look for cuts, bulges, punctures, sidewall cracks, and embedded objects.
  • Document any defects with time-stamped photos in the eAuditor app.
  • Create an action item for damaged tires needing immediate replacement.

5. Check Tire Alignment and Wear Pattern

• Task: Analyze wear distribution across all tires.
• Objective: Detect alignment or suspension issues early.
• Process:
  • Note uneven, scalloped, or cupped wear in the inspection form.
  • Recommend alignment or suspension inspection if irregular wear is observed.
  • Use the comment section for technician notes or observations.

6. Review Tire Age and Rotation History

• Task: Check DOT code or tire manufacture date.
• Objective: Track tire age and ensure rotation is performed on schedule.
• Process:
  • Record tire age and compare against the vehicle’s rotation log.
  • Schedule tire rotation if due.
  • Flag tires older than 6–10 years for replacement consideration.

7. Check Spare Tire (if applicable)

• Task: Inspect the spare for pressure, tread, and condition.
• Objective: Ensure readiness for emergencies.
• Process:
  • Include a dedicated section for spare tire checks in the template.
  • Attach photo evidence of the spare tire’s state.
  • Assign action if replacement or inflation is required.

8. Generate Report and Assign Actions

• Task: Finalize the inspection with comments, signatures, and actions.
• Objective: Maintain documentation and follow-up on maintenance needs.
• Process:
  • Use eAuditor to automatically generate a PDF report with inspection details.
  • Assign tasks with due dates to maintenance staff for repairs or replacements.
  • Sync data to the central dashboard for analysis and audit readiness.

Benefits of Using eAuditor for Tire Maintenance Inspections:

• Real-Time Documentation: Capture and sync inspection data instantly.
• Standardization: Ensures all tires are checked using a consistent, detailed process.
• Photo Evidence: Visual documentation supports transparency and accountability.
• Action Tracking: Assign and monitor corrective tasks within the same platform.
• Compliance Ready: Store inspection histories for regulatory or audit purposes.

Using eAuditor for Tire Maintenance Inspections helps proactively manage tire health, reduce downtime, and support driver safety by making inspections efficient, actionable, and verifiable.
