Different Truck Tire For Different Work

Truck tyres are an important component of the vehicle, they drive the vehicle and also play a load-bearing role. Currently our SINOTRUK and SHACMAN trucks mainly use two types of tyres, tubeless and radial tire. Do different types of truck tyres have an effect on different working conditions? This article will give you a detailed introduction and to help you choose the right model of tyre correctly.

 

 

 

1. 12R22.5 and 315/80R22.5 Tubeless Tire

 

12R22.5 and 315/80R22.5 is a tubeless model tire, this model tire very suitable for long distance transportation work, especially the cross-border transport. This tire have high abrasion resistance, low rolling resistance, low purchase cost and excellent heat dissipation performance.

 

Most of tractor truck use 12R22.5 or 315/80R22.5 tubeless tire, tire pattern is TR668. But for some hills and roads that require climbing, TR668 pattern seem a little hard. Consider this we recommend the TRD06 pattern for customers trucks, excellent handling and mileage, even wet road condition, this model tire is very popular at Tanzania, Zambia etc African countries. See the picture.

 

 

2. 12.00R20 Radial Tire

 

The 12.00R20 radial model tyre is very common on dump trucks because of its superb load-carrying capacity as well as its resistance to wear. This is also needed for engineering projects, as well as mining projects. The only downside is that the 12.00R20 tyre has a liner inside, which is not resistant to punctures, and is much more expensive to purchase than a tubeless tire.

 

In mining areas as well as climbing hills with 12.00R20, TR691 pattern tire dump trucks, they have good performance in terms of climbing ability and tyre wear. That’s why most of our Ethiopia, Dr Congo etc countries customers like this model tire.

 

 

3. 13R22.5 Tubeless Tire

 

13R22.5 tubeless tire Diameter is bigger, chassis passing ability, bearing capacity is stronger, compared with 12R22.5 and 315/80R22.5 tire. The 13R22.5 tire is not only suitable for long-distance haulage in tractor trucks, but also for the transport of minerals and construction materials in dump trucks. The only downside is the higher purchase cost of tyres.

 

In some countries, such as Ghana, Senegal, Guinea, Guyana etc. Most of truck use this model tire, cause the local temperature is very high and constant braking will increase the temperature of the brake drums, making it very easy for a radial tire to blow out, while the 13R22.5 tyre is a tubeless tyre, suitable for the high temperature and hot conditions in the area.

 

 

4. 12R24 Radial Tire

 

The 12R24 radial tyre is characterised by its large size and high load carrying capacity. The height of the tyre reaches 1200mm, which makes the height of the chassis has also been greatly improved, so the chassis passing ability is enhanced, which is very suitable for harsh road conditions.

 

This model tire is very popular at Dr Congo, Sudan, Algeria, Mauritania etc countries. The truck, with its 12R24 tyres, can be easily driven in desert areas and on pothole-riddled roads, and the chassis components are not easily damaged, making it very capable off-road.
