Maintenance engineers regularly inspect aircraft tires for damage or corrosion to determine their suitability in the first place and decide whether or not to replace them based on data and information available to them regardless of other factors related to the age.
In addition, airlines rely on a set of criteria to determine the validity of the tire, including landings, and tires are generally changed at a rate of one per 200 to 300 landings of the aircraft, and also related to the quality and quality of the tire, and many companies resort to tire replacement Every 3 to 4 months during regular maintenance.
The life span of tires is influenced by variable factors such as weather, harsh or crossed landing, anti-slip movement, as well as rough or damaged surfaces of terraces, all of which can have an impact on the condition of the rubber surrounding the tire core filled with nitrogen for its ability to withstand high temperature and pressure , As well as its vulnerability to variable atmospheric pressure throughout the flight.
The cost of a single frame for wide-bodied aircraft ranges from $ 7 to $ 9,000 per piece and the price varies according to the specifications and services attached to the purchase as well as other parts related to landing equipment, and costs are reduced by half or less for smaller single-aisle or regional aircraft and those for private .
The tires bear great pressure during landing operations, and are capable of adapting to different weather conditions due to their manufacturing characteristics.The Airbus A380, the largest commercial passenger aircraft, has 22 tires weighing up to 120 kilograms per tire with a carrying capacity of 33 tons.
