Kissing

1) An expression used to describe the situation when the inner walls of a pair of tyres fitted to heavy vehicle twin wheel sets are seen to be touching (ie kissing). This is caused by reduced pressure in one or both of the tyres or excessive overloading.

The result is increased fuel consumption, reduced tyre life and, potentially, an on-road blow-out (invariably at considerable cost for recovery and repair).
