Choosing the Best Last-Mile Delivery Tire

Blog

Last-Mile Delivery (LMD) tires are specially designed for the specific needs of vehicles carrying cargo from a fulfillment or distribution center, to its final destination, usually a home. Since they typically operate in urban environments and in widely varied weather conditions, Last-Mile Delivery tires often feature characteristics that enable them to handle the heavy loads, curbs, and diverse weather conditions that these delivery drivers encounter year-round. With rising fuel prices, Last-Mile Delivery fleet owners are increasingly turning to electric delivery vehicles, and need tires that are EV compatible. Many Last-Mile Delivery tires are now available that can meet the requirements of electric vehicles, saving drivers and fleet owners money on fuel, and keeping emissions down.

The Advantage of Last-Mile Delivery Tires

There are many benefits of using a Last-Mile Delivery tire which has been designed and constructed for the demands and wear of this type of service. For example, LMD tires are constructed to carry the heavy loads of cargo vans and trucks, similar to a regular commercial tire. However, they are also designed for better handling and traction, as well as year-round weather conditions, and the heavy braking and acceleration patterns of city traffic. These tread patterns designed for traction and control are vitally important for delivery drivers who need to navigate many types of roads and driving surfaces, all year long and in all types of weather.

Since these tires are in use daily, drivers and fleet owners must ensure that their LMD tires can withstand the constant heavy loads and driving challenges they encounter. High-quality Last-Mile Delivery tires often come equipped with features or compounds that resist tire wear and decrease rolling resistance, promoting longer tire life and increased fuel savings. For electric last-mile delivery vehicles, look for an LMD tire that is EV compatible to withstand the increased weight and instant torque of electric vehicles.
