Each Year, 11,000 Accidents Occur Due to Underinflated & Worn Out Tires
Don’t become a statistic.
You're responsible for ensuring your passengers arrive safely at their destinations.
Fuel & Tire Saver (FTS) partners with bus fleets to make sure it happens. We optimize your performance by filling your tires with nitrogen and reporting on any changes.
Keep Your Fleet Protected and Passengers Safe
Underinflation & Wear & Tear Can Cause Critical Performance Issues
It's all about traction. Underinflated and worn tread reduces the amount of traction a bus has on the road, particularly when the road is wet, icy, or rough. Undiscovered punctures and sidewall damage can create rapid tire pressure loss and loss of vehicle control.

The Truth Is In the Numbers.
FTS mobile nitrogen tire inflation services can change your bottom line and improve operations significantly.
An 80 hour week + 20 hours overtime — that’s how much time is required to maintain the tires of a fleet of 100 buses.
Underinflated tires are 3x more likely to be involved in an accident, according to NHTSA.
Tires that are properly inflated pay for themselves in reduced wear, improved gas mileage and reduced personnel hours.
In a FTS bus study, we discovered we can save one bus 47 gallons in fuel economy.
