445/45 R19.5 trailer tyre replacement near Offenbach with a lower-cost option

On 13 May 2026, a customer representative contacted the MT onroad dispatch team about a burst tyre on the middle axle of the trailer. The truck and trailer were in the Offenbach am Main area, Hesse, Germany. The customer required a mobile truck tyre service and a new 445/45 R19.5 tyre at the most affordable price then available.

The customer's representative sent the details required to arrange the call-out via WhatsApp:

• Vehicle: truck with a trailer;
• Axle: middle axle;
• Size: 445/45 R19.5;
• Damage: blowout;
• Location: Offenbach am Main area, Hesse, Germany.

An MT onroad specialist checked the coordinates provided and confirmed the vehicle's stopping location. The representative explained that the customer had a limited budget and was prepared to choose the most affordable new option available from the service partner that day. The customer was also willing to consider a B- or C-tier brand instead of the brand normally used in the transport company's fleet.

The initial cost estimate exceeded the customer's budget. MT onroad therefore agreed revised terms with the service partner and prepared a lower-cost quote for fitting a new Yartu 445/45 R19.5 tyre with DOT date code 28/25.

The DOT date code 28/25 indicates that the tyre was manufactured in calendar week 28 of 2025. The tyre was approximately ten months old at the time of the request. It had not been used on another vehicle, showed no signs of use and had been stored under the required conditions at the service company's professional storage facility. According to the German Tyre Retail and Vulcanisation Trade Association (BRV), correctly stored tyres up to three years old may be regarded as factory-new.

Before the mobile service team was dispatched, the customer's representative received the final price, an estimated arrival time of approximately 90 minutes and the scope of work:

• travel to the breakdown location;
• new Yartu 445/45 R19.5 replacement tyre;
• removal of the damaged tyre;
• fitting of the replacement on the middle axle of the trailer;
• disposal of the old tyre;
• return journey of the service team.

The customer's representative confirmed the terms and paid for the job by SEPA Instant Credit Transfer. Once payment had been confirmed, MT onroad assigned the job to the mobile service team and arranged the call-out. The technicians arrived within the stated 90-minute window after the order had been confirmed.

Result

A new Yartu 445/45 R19.5 tyre with DOT date code 28/25 was fitted to the middle axle of the trailer. Choosing a replacement from a brand in a different price tier and with an earlier production date reduced the service cost without fitting a used tyre. Once the work was completed, the truck with its trailer continued its journey.

Can the cost of tyre replacement be reduced without fitting a used tyre?

When a vehicle is stranded, a transport company may be open to a different tyre brand from the one normally used across its fleet. In this situation, MT onroad can check the most affordable new replacements in the required size: either one from a different price tier or one with an earlier production date, provided that the selected replacement has not been used on another vehicle, has been stored correctly and meets the vehicle's technical requirements.

Send the location, vehicle type, affected axle and side, required size, rim condition and photos via WhatsApp. The MT onroad dispatcher will check the available options and provide the price and terms before the mobile service team is dispatched. The estimated arrival time will be provided after MT onroad has checked whether a suitable replacement and a service team are available.
