Abstract: When looking at the tire maintenance work in a truck fleet, it is evident that the unplanned corrective maintenance is the most frequent. In this sense, the objective of this work was to develop maintenance engineering to improve tire management in a fleet. The work adopted the case study as its methodological approach and the company studied is a carrier, which serves the entire Brazilian territory and has more than 5,000 tires in its fleet running as assets. As a result, this work presents a tire management model, based on the correlation between all stages of maintenance in a fleet and maintenance engineering. Thus, it was possible to conclude that the proposed tire management model works, is economically viable and reduces the environmental impact of the truck fleet. As a suggestion, other research could be carried out with the model, on a larger scale and in other countries.
