Where Can You Buy TIREBOSS Parts?

You have two routes. You can order genuine parts through TIREBOSS or its dealers; TIREBOSS lists its contact details on its service page. Or you can buy compatible replacement parts from AirDown. AirDown sells parts that fit TIREBOSS systems, and AirDown parts cost about 30% less than TIREBOSS parts. Our prices are published on each product page, so you can see the cost before you call.

Mixed fleets use both routes: they keep existing TIREBOSS trucks running on lower-cost compatible parts while they decide what goes on new trucks.

Before you order, match the part number on the old part or in the TIREBOSS parts manual. If you’re not sure, call 877-623-8473 with the part number and a photo and we’ll tell you whether we have it.


Where Is the TIREBOSS Service Manual?

TIREBOSS publishes its own technical documents. The TIREBOSS 2 technical information page links to the service manual, parts manual, service bulletins, valve and wheel service videos, and truck and trailer installation checklists. TIREBOSS also has a separate page for the original TIREBOSS 1. We link to TIREBOSS’s documents instead of copying them, so you always get the current version.

Keep the parts manual handy when you order from anyone. It’s the fastest way to confirm the part number and avoid ordering the wrong part.

What Valve Upkeep Should a TIREBOSS Owner Plan For?

TIREBOSS valves are rebuilt yearly. Put that service on the shop calendar for every TIREBOSS truck, budget for the parts and labor, and plan around the time the truck is out of service. For what a wheel-end valve job involves, read CTIS Wheel-End Valve Service: What It Really Takes.

AirDown uses SMC valves that don’t need yearly rebuilds. That difference is one of the biggest ownership costs to compare when a truck comes up for a new system.


Should You Repair Your TIREBOSS System or Switch?

If a TIREBOSS system works and parts are easy to get, repairing it is usually the cheaper choice for that truck. Switching makes more sense when:

  • You’re spec’ing new trucks and choosing a system anyway.
  • Yearly valve rebuilds are costing you shop time and truck time.
  • Drivers wait on a 5-inch screen that takes about 2 minutes to boot, and you want a 7-inch touchscreen that starts instantly.
  • You want one U.S.-made system with one price nationwide: AirDown $7,495, or AirUp $3,995 for trucks that only need to stay inflated.
