ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus to monitor ton-miles-per-hour on a plurality of tires on a mobile machine as the mobile machine hauls a load by determining the weight of the load on the tires, determining the ground speed of the mobile machine, and compensating for uneven distribution of the load on the tires. The ton-miles-per-hour is calculated for each tire as a function of the load distribution and the ground speed.
