Tyres for Construction and Quarry Operations
Site work destroys tyres in ways highway rubber was never designed for: sidewall cuts on rebar and kerb, stones drilling through groove bottoms, and a load cycle that goes from full to empty twice an hour. These are the categories built for that duty.
What Actually Fails in This Sector
- Casings lost to sidewall damage long before the tread is used
- Stones trapped in the groove bottom working through to the belt package
- Highway drive patterns fitted to tippers because that is what the distributor had in stock
- Loader and grader tyres unavailable in the right E, L or G code when a machine goes down
- A mixed plant fleet needing five different tyre types from five different suppliers
What a Working Answer Has to Include
- Reinforced sidewall construction rated for impact and bruise, not just for kerb contact
- Stone rejection tread geometry on drive and all-position patterns
- OTR coverage across both radial and bias construction in the same order
- Availability planned ahead of the machine going down, not after
- One supplier able to cover truck, loader, grader and dumper in the same container

Read itConstruction and Quarry Buying Questions
What is the difference between radial and bias OTR?
Radial OTR generally runs cooler and gives longer life on longer haul cycles. Bias OTR is more resistant to sidewall cutting and is usually cheaper per unit, which suits short cycle work on sharp rock. We supply both so the choice stays yours.
Can you supply truck tyres and loader tyres in the same shipment?
Yes. Consolidating a mixed fleet requirement into one container is the main reason contractors buy through us instead of from individual plants.
What do the E, L and G codes mean?
They are the TRA service classifications. E is earthmover or haulage, L is loader and dozer, G is grader. The number after the letter indicates tread depth and pattern type. Our OTR product pages list the code for each pattern.
How long does an OTR order take?
OTR sizes are less often held in stock than truck sizes, so lead time depends on the plant production schedule. We confirm the current position at quotation rather than quoting a standard figure.
Do you supply solid tyres for site machines?
Solid tyres are part of the range we source, though they are not listed individually on this site. Send us the size and machine and we will quote.
What is the minimum order?
One full container. OTR sizes fill a container on volume rather than weight, so the unit count per container is lower than for truck tyres.
