D950
- Drive Axle
- 6 sizes
- Off Road
D950 is a radial short-haul truck tyre designed for drive-axle use in mixed on and off-road conditions. The deep and rigid block tread pattern provides high traction on loose surfaces such as gravel, mud and logging trails. The cut resistance compound helps protect the casing from damage caused by sharp rocks and debris.
What D950 Is Built For
D950 is a radial short-haul truck tyre designed for drive-axle use in mixed on and off-road conditions. The deep and rigid block tread pattern provides high traction on loose surfaces such as gravel, mud and logging trails. The cut resistance compound helps protect the casing from damage caused by sharp rocks and debris. It is intended for vehicles that operate part of their route on paved roads and part on unsealed or rough terrain, particularly in forestry and mining support applications. Six sizes are available across 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 295/75R22.5 and 285/75R24.5, with ply ratings of 14 and 16, and load indices from 144/142 to 149/146.
Manufacturer Feature Claims

- Used for logging conditions where high traction required
Key Benefits
- Deep and rigid block tread pattern for high traction on loose and uneven surfaces
- Cut resistance compound helps prevent casing damage from sharp objects

Problems It Solves
- Standard highway drive tyres wear out quickly on unsealed roads due to inadequate tread depth and lack of cut resistance
- Off-road tyres with deep treads wear rapidly and generate excessive noise on paved roads
- Multiple tyre patterns needed for seasonal or route-specific use increase stock and fitting complexity
- Casing damage from rocks and debris leads to early failure in high-impact environments
- Lack of a single drive-axle pattern that performs consistently across mixed surface conditions
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying fleets in logging, mining and construction sectors
- Fleet operators running short-haul trucks with mixed on and off-road duty
- Importers seeking one drive-axle pattern that covers both rough terrain and highway use
- Contractors buying tyres by the container for a captive fleet in off-road environments
- Government or public works buyers procuring tyres for rural infrastructure projects
Application Scenarios
- Logging trucks operating from forest access roads to main haul routes
- Mining support vehicles moving between graded haul roads and paved service areas
- Construction site transporters running loaded on gravel and returning empty on tarmac
- Short-haul dump trucks serving quarries with mixed surface routes
- Fleets operating in rural or remote areas where paved roads are limited
Technical Features
- Radial truck tyre with drive-axle construction for on and off-road use
- Deep and rigid block tread pattern designed for high traction under load
- Cut resistance compound to reduce damage from sharp objects and debris
- Tread depth of 23.0 mm or 25.0 mm depending on size, providing extended casing life
- Designed for short-haul duty with frequent stops and starts in rough terrain

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard highway drive tyres
D950 has deeper tread and cut resistance for off-road use, but will wear faster on pure highway duty
Compared With Dedicated deep-lug off-road tyres
D950 has a more balanced tread pattern for mixed use; deep-lug tyres wear faster and run noisier on paved roads
Compared With General-purpose radial tyres
D950 is built for high traction and cut resistance in logging and mining conditions; general-purpose tyres lack the durability for sharp debris
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying increases cost and ride harshness
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 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, especially on fleets with one-way heavy loads
- Inspect tread and groove bottoms after off-road use for lodged debris or damage to protect casing for retreading
D950 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?
11R22.5 in 14PR and 16PR, 11R24.5 in 14PR and 16PR, 295/75R22.5 in 16PR, and 285/75R24.5 in 16PR. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre suitable for logging use?
Yes. The D950 is designed for logging conditions where high traction and cut resistance are required. The deep and rigid block tread pattern and compound are specified for such environments.
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.
