- Drive Axle
- 11 sizes
- Light & Mini Truck
D955 is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for medium trucks operating on normal roads with occasional off-road use. The tread pattern delivers consistent braking and grip in wet conditions, making it suitable for urban delivery, regional haul, and light construction support. It is built for durability on paved surfaces while maintaining traction on gravel or lightly graded access roads.
What D955 Is Built For
D955 is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for medium trucks operating on normal roads with occasional off-road use. The tread pattern delivers consistent braking and grip in wet conditions, making it suitable for urban delivery, regional haul, and light construction support. It is built for durability on paved surfaces while maintaining traction on gravel or lightly graded access roads. Available in ten size and ply combinations, it covers common fitments for light and mini trucks across Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East. The tyre carries M+S marking for wet and light snow conditions, and is supplied with full export documentation and one year warranty.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Suitable for medium trucks running on the normal road
- Good braking and grip on wet road
Key Benefits
- Radial construction provides better fuel efficiency and longer tread life on paved roads
- M+S marking ensures legal compliance for wet and light snow conditions in many markets
- Tread depth between 200 mm and 248 mm supports extended casing life and retreadability
- Multiple ply ratings from 12 to 16 allow matching to axle load and duty cycle
- Five sizes from 7.00R16LT to 245/70R19.5 cover most light and mini truck drive axles in regional fleets
Problems It Solves
- Standard on-road tyres lose grip and braking performance in wet conditions due to poor tread design
- Off-road tyres wear too quickly and run noisy on paved roads, reducing fuel efficiency and increasing cost per kilometre
- Lack of M+S marking forces seasonal tyre changes in markets with winter regulations
- Multiple drive patterns required for different road types increase stock and fitting complexity
- Single-size-only sourcing from factories limits fleet flexibility and increases container load inefficiency
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying medium and light trucks in markets with mixed road conditions
- Fleet operators replacing drive-axle tyres that fail due to poor wet grip or early casing wear
- Importers needing a single drive pattern that covers both paved and lightly graded surfaces
- Government and municipal fleets requiring tyres with M+S marking for seasonal compliance
- Contractors buying tyres by container for regional or site-specific operations
Application Scenarios
- Urban delivery trucks running daily on paved roads with occasional access to gravel service roads
- Regional haulers transporting goods between cities on asphalt and gravel feeder routes
- Construction site support vehicles moving between paved access roads and unsealed work zones
- Fleets operating in tropical or monsoon climates where wet grip and drainage are critical
- Importers sourcing one drive pattern that meets both wet road and light snow requirements
Technical Features
- Radial truck tyre construction with reinforced casing for consistent performance on mixed surfaces
- Tread block pattern designed for wet grip and stone ejection, reducing hydroplaning risk
- M+S marking confirmed for compliance with wet and light snow road regulations
- Tread depth between 200 mm and 248 mm supports multiple retreads and extended casing life
- Available in 11 size and ply combinations to match axle load and rim width on light and mini trucks

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard on-road drive tyres
D955 offers better wet grip and light snow performance due to M+S marking and tread design, but may have slightly lower rolling efficiency on pure highway use
Compared With Dedicated off-road drive tyres
D955 wears slower and runs quieter on paved roads, but has less traction in deep mud or loose gravel compared to a deep-lug off-road pattern
Compared With Separate summer and winter drive tyres
The M+S marking removes the need for seasonal changeover, but a dedicated winter tyre still has better performance in heavy snow
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest rating available – overspecifying increases cost and ride harshness
- Check the standard rim listed (M or L) against your wheel: M for 7.00R16LT, 7.50R16LT, 225/70R19.5; L for 8.25R16LT, 245/70R19.5
- 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 loading patterns
- Inspect tread grooves after off-road use for trapped stones or debris that could damage the casing
D955 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 7.00R16LT or 245/70R19.5 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?
7.00R16LT (12PR), 7.50R16LT (12PR, 14PR), 8.25R16LT (12PR, 14PR, 16PR), 225/70R19.5 (12PR, 14PR), 245/70R19.5 (14PR, 16PR). Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre legal for winter use?
It carries the M+S marking, which is required for wet and light snow conditions in many markets. Confirm your own national regulation before ordering.
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.
