What D928 Is Built For
D928 is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haulage operations where consistent road grip and braking performance are required across mixed-duty routes. The block pattern is structured for traction under load on paved and lightly graded surfaces, with a tread depth optimized for moderate wear life. It is supplied in 13 size and ply combinations, covering common regional truck and bus fitments from 9.00R20 to 285/75R24.5. The tyre carries standard speed symbols K, L and M, and is available with load indices from 144/142 to 149/146, supporting dual and single axle applications across a range of vehicle weights.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Typical block pattern design suitable for the drive axle of trucks
- Good braking and grip on the road
Key Benefits
- Block pattern designed for consistent braking and grip on paved and lightly graded regional routes
- Available in 13 sizes across 9.00R20 to 285/75R24.5 to match common regional truck and bus fitments
- Load index up to 149/146 with dual load capacity of 3250 kg at 830 kPa on 11.00R20 18PR

Problems It Solves
- Drive tyres with deep off-road lugs wear quickly and run noisy on paved regional routes
- Tyres with low tread depth fail prematurely on routes with frequent braking and load shifts
- Lack of standard fitment across multiple sizes forces buyers to manage multiple SKUs
- Inconsistent load capacity across sizes leads to over-specification or under-rating
- Multiple suppliers and paperwork for mixed-size orders increase procurement complexity

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Deep-lug off-road drive tyres
D928 wears slower and runs quieter on paved regional routes; off-road tyres wear faster and generate more noise on tarmac
Compared With Long-haul highway drive tyres
D928 prioritizes braking and grip over rolling resistance; highway tyres last longer on pure motorway duty
Compared With Tyres with lower tread depth
D928’s 17.5 mm to 20.5 mm tread depth supports longer wear life on consistent regional routes
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying costs money and rides hard
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 7.0 for 9.00R20, 7.5 for 10.00R20, 8.0 for 11.00R20, 8.25 for 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, 9.00 for 295/75R22.5
- 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 heavy one-way loads
- Inspect tread depth regularly to ensure it remains above 50% of original for safe operation
D928 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11R22.5 or 295/75R22.5 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?
9.00R20, 10.00R20, 11.00R20, 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 295/75R22.5, 285/75R24.5 in ply ratings 14, 16, 18. 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?
D928 is designed for regional road use. It is not built for deep mud, rock impact or heavy off-road duty. Use a dedicated off-road pattern for those conditions.
