D900 is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haul fleets that operate on paved roads with moderate off-road exposure. It is built for consistent performance across daily urban and suburban routes, with a focus on reduced weight, even wear and lower fuel consumption. The tyre carries the L and K speed symbols, supporting speeds up to 120 km/h and 160 km/h respectively.
What D900 Is Built For
D900 is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haul fleets that operate on paved roads with moderate off-road exposure. It is built for consistent performance across daily urban and suburban routes, with a focus on reduced weight, even wear and lower fuel consumption. The tyre carries the L and K speed symbols, supporting speeds up to 120 km/h and 160 km/h respectively. Two size and ply combinations are available: 10.00R20 16PR and 10.00R20 18PR, both with a 17.5 mm tread depth and 7.5 inch standard rim. It is suitable for light to medium-duty regional transport vehicles such as delivery vans, service trucks, and urban freight carriers.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- New technology for tire to reduce the weight
- Low eccentric wear
- Low fuel consumption
- Good braking and grip on the road
Key Benefits
- Reduced tyre weight through new technology improves fuel efficiency and reduces rolling resistance
- Low eccentric wear extends casing life by maintaining even tread contact across the road surface
- Low fuel consumption due to optimized tread design and reduced rolling resistance
- Good braking and grip on paved roads enhance safety during frequent stops and starts
- Two ply ratings (16 and 18) allow matching to axle load without overspecifying
Problems It Solves
- High rolling resistance in standard tyres increases fuel costs on daily regional routes
- Uneven wear from inconsistent load distribution shortens casing life and increases replacement frequency
- Heavy tyres add unnecessary weight, reducing payload capacity and increasing fuel use
- Lack of consistent grip on wet or dry pavement increases stopping distance and safety risk
- Single-size-only supply from some plants forces overspecification or underperformance
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying regional haul fleets in urban and suburban markets
- Fleet operators managing delivery vans and service trucks with moderate daily mileage
- Importers seeking a consistent drive tyre for light to medium-duty regional transport
- Wholesale distributors buying by container for resale to local transport operators
- Government and municipal buyers procuring tyres for city-based service vehicles
Application Scenarios
- Urban delivery fleets operating daily between distribution hubs and retail points on paved roads
- Service and maintenance trucks running between repair sites and customer locations in city and suburban zones
- Regional freight carriers making short-haul trips with frequent loading and unloading
- City-based utility and municipal vehicles that operate on tarmac with occasional gravel access
- Fleets requiring consistent tyre performance over long daily cycles without heavy off-road use
Technical Features
- Radial casing construction with 17.5 mm tread depth across both listed sizes
- New technology applied to reduce overall tyre weight without compromising strength
- Tread pattern engineered to minimize eccentric wear under repeated load cycles
- Low rolling resistance design contributes to reduced fuel consumption
- Good braking and grip performance on paved roads under normal operating conditions
- Standard rim size of 7.5 inches for both 10.00R20 fitments

Materials and Construction
- Radial steel casing construction as supplied by the manufacturing plant
- Tread compound designed for low rolling resistance and even wear
- Sidewall compound specified for durability under repeated urban driving cycles
From Size List to Loaded Container
Confirm size, ply rating and load index against the axle load and rim width on your vehicle
We quote FOB or CIF against your load port and confirm current plant availability
Production or stock allocation is confirmed with the plant before deposit
Container is loaded, insured and shipped with certificate of origin and full export documents
Quality and After Sales
- Every tyre supplied carries a one year warranty against manufacturing defect
- Warranty claims are handled directly by us rather than passed back to the plant
- Cargo transportation insurance is arranged on every shipment
- DOT, ECE and other markings are confirmed against your market requirement before loading
Customisation Options
- Mixed container loading across sizes, patterns and brands to match your order book
- Certificate of origin issued to suit your import duty position
- Sidewall branding and private label subject to plant minimum order quantity
- Label, marking and packaging adjusted to the destination market requirement
Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Heavy-duty long-haul drive tyres
D900 is lighter and more fuel-efficient but not designed for sustained highway speeds or high axle loads
Compared With Off-road or deep-lug drive tyres
D900 has a shallower tread and lower weight, making it unsuitable for mud, gravel or construction sites
Compared With Standard regional tyres without low eccentric wear design
D900 reduces uneven wear, extending casing life and reducing replacement frequency
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 7.5 inches for both 10.00R20 sizes
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate drive positions before irregular wear sets in, particularly on fleets running one-way loads
- Inspect tread and sidewall for signs of uneven wear after 5,000 km to ensure consistent performance
D900 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 10.00R20 typically fills at container weight rather than volume, so the practical minimum is one container. Mixed loads across sizes and patterns are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or has to be produced. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation rather than quoting a standard figure.
Which sizes are available?
10.00R20 in 16PR (Load Index 146/143, Speed Symbol L) and 18PR (Load Index 149/146, Speed Symbol K). Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us the import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on that size before you place the order.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled by us directly. Cargo transportation insurance is provided on the shipment itself.
Can you ship a mixed container with other patterns?
Yes. Most of our customers load one container across several patterns and sizes, which is the main reason to buy through us rather than from a single plant.
Is this tyre suitable for off-road use?
No. D900 is designed for paved roads with moderate off-road exposure. It is not suitable for deep mud, gravel or construction sites.
