01 — Product lines

Five lines, one order, one container.

Every line is available under our own brand or as OEM with your sidewall mould. Sizes below are the fast-moving range held in or near stock; the full size book runs considerably wider.

02 — Construction

What you are actually buying, layer by layer.

Two tires in the same size can differ by forty percent in casing life. The difference is in here. When you send us a duty cycle, this is the part we specify on your behalf.

Section through the crown of a truck radial, drawn to proportion.

On an OEM run these are the variables we can move for you: tread depth and compound, belt count and wire gauge, liner thickness, and bead and apex stiffness. Tell us the failure you keep seeing in the field and we specify against it rather than against a price point.

Tread cap

The compound that meets the road. Long-haul mileage, scrub resistance for city stop-start, or cut-and-chip resistance on crushed rock — you do not get all three in one compound, so we pick for the duty cycle you actually run.

14 – 22 mm new tread depth by pattern

Steel belt package

Two to four belts laid at opposing angles hold the casing round under load and keep the footprint flat. Belt count and wire gauge are what decide whether a casing is worth retreading once or twice.

3 belts standard on 22.5" truck sizes, 4 on mixed service

Casing ply

Cords running straight from bead to bead — that radial geometry is what separates the sidewall from the tread, so the tire can flex without scrubbing the footprint.

1 steel ply on truck sizes · 1 – 2 polyester plies on passenger

Inner liner

A halobutyl sheet that holds the air. Liner gauge is the quiet difference between a fleet checking pressures monthly and one chasing slow leaks every week.

1.5 – 2.5 mm on commercial sizes

Bead bundle, apex and sidewall

Not shown in the section above. The bead bundle is the steel ring that clamps the rim; the apex above it controls how stiffly the sidewall stands up under load. Sidewall gauge is what survives kerbing in city work and rock cut on site roads.

03 — Tread

Pattern follows the duty cycle, not the price list.

Most of the warranty claims we see are not manufacturing faults — they are the wrong pattern in the wrong position. These are the four families we supply across the five product lines.

Steer · Trailer

Rib

Continuous longitudinal ribs. Lowest rolling resistance, straightest tracking and the most even wear — the default for any free-rolling or steering position.

Drive

Lug

Deep lateral blocks that bite. Noisier and it gives up some highway mileage, but it is what pulls a loaded unit off a wet ramp or a soft yard.

Mixed service · All-terrain

Block

Staggered independent blocks with open shoulders that clear stone and mud. For units that run half on pavement and half on site roads.

Agricultural R-1

Bar

Tall angled bars that self-clean in soil. Bar height and angle set the pull you get and the damage you leave behind in the field.

Where each pattern belongs

On a standard 6x4 tractor and tandem trailer that is two rib tires on the steer axle, eight lug tires across the drive tandem, and eight rib tires on the trailer. Fleets that mix in site work move the drive axle to a block pattern and accept the mileage penalty.

Reading a sidewall

295/80R22.5 152/148M

295Section width in millimetres, measured at the widest point of an unloaded sidewall.

80Aspect ratio — sidewall height as a percentage of section width. Here, 236 mm.

RRadial construction. A dash in this position means bias ply.

22.5Rim diameter in inches. It must match the wheel exactly.

152/148Load index single / dual. 152 is 3 550 kg per tire fitted singly, 148 is 3 150 kg in duals.

MSpeed symbol — the maximum sustained speed at full load. M is 130 km/h.

Why the geometry matters on a quote

Overall diameter decides whether a tire clears the arch and whether it matches the other tires on the same axle — mismatched diameters in a dual fitment drag one tire against the other for the whole life of the set. Send us the wheel size and the axle load and we will check the fitment before you order, not after it lands.

DOT code: the last four digits are the build date. 2426 is week 24 of 2026.

05 — Manufacturing

Factory-direct, not a broker chain.

We buy from established radial and bias plants with half a century of production behind them, and we hold the relationship ourselves. That keeps one set of margins out of your landed cost and gives you a direct line to the production schedule.

50 yrsManufacturing experience at partner plants

5Product lines under one supply agreement

25–35 dProduction lead time after deposit

Production floor views of a tire plant: building drums, curing presses, calendering and green tire storage

Partner plant — mixing, calendering, tire building and curing

06 — Working with us

Built around how wholesale buyers actually order.

Factory strength

Audited plants, consistent compound, and certification that clears customs where you sell.

DOT, ECE R117, GCC, SONCAP, INMETRO on request
Batch-level DOT week codes on every shipment
Pre-shipment inspection welcome (SGS, BV, your own QC)

Low minimums

Test a size before you commit a container. Mixed loads let you cover a whole price ladder at once.

07 — Coverage

Shipping into the markets our partners already serve.

Our manufacturing partners ship to distributors across more than ninety countries, so the homologation, labelling and documentation for your market is usually already in place.

08 — How ordering works

From first enquiry to bill of lading.

A first container typically takes six to eight weeks from signed PI to vessel departure. Repeat orders on an agreed size list move faster.

Send the size list

Sizes, quantities, destination port and the Incoterm you work on. A pattern preference helps, but is not required.

Quotation & PI

Price per piece, container plan, lead time and payment terms, usually within two business days.

Sample or trial order

Run the tires on your own equipment before you commit to volume. Sample cost is credited against the first container.

Production & inspection

25–35 days for OEM moulds, 15–20 for stock patterns. Third-party or in-house inspection before loading.

Loading & documents

Loading photos, packing list, commercial invoice, B/L, certificate of origin and DOT records sent on departure.
