OTR Services in Boise, ID

Purcell Tire & Service handles off-the-road tire work at 8718 S. Eisenman Rd in Boise, the only Purcell location in Idaho offering it: fitting, change-outs, repair and inspection for loaders, haul trucks, graders and dozers. Call (208) 368-7801.

The only one in the state

Five Purcell listings serve Idaho and this is the one that works on off-highway tires. Twin Falls and Idaho Falls Commercial both carry OTR tires and can supply them; the fitting, change-out and repair work is here.

For an operation with machines, that is worth planning around rather than discovering. A tire supplied in Twin Falls still has to be fitted, and knowing where that happens before a machine is down is the difference between a scheduled job and a scramble.

Repair is where the money is

The national OTR services page sets out when an injury is repairable and why, on a tire of this value, repair is frequently the right answer.

Boise is the only Idaho location doing this work, which means a tire condemned in a yard elsewhere in the state was condemned without anybody qualified having looked at it.

Plan the change-out around the machine

An OTR change-out takes a machine out of service, and the date that suits you is rarely the date the tire picks.

The useful habit is to inspect while machines are idle, identify which tires will not last the season, and book those change-outs into a window you choose. Say what date you are working to when you call; work that is expected is easier to place than work that arrives as an emergency.

The casing goes next door

The Purcell retread plant is at 8670 S. Eisenman Rd, on the same road. On an OTR tire the casing represents most of the cost and can carry several treads over its life, which makes casing condition the number worth tracking on a site.

What ends one is heat from under-inflation, a tire run flat, and damage left unrepaired. All three are visible before they are terminal. See retreading and wheel refurbishing.

Questions

OTR questions, Boise

Is this the only Idaho location for OTR work?

Yes. Twin Falls and Idaho Falls Commercial carry OTR tires and can supply them; the fitting, change-out and repair work is done here.

Can a cut OTR tire be repaired?

Frequently. The injury's size and position decide it, and at that cost it is worth establishing before replacing.

Do you come out to the site?

Mobile service is not offered at this location. Roadside assistance covers commercial units; talk to the store about site work.

How do we avoid an emergency change-out?

Inspect while machines are idle and book the ones that will not last into a window you choose. The store can work to a date if it knows the date.
