- On & Off Road
D960 is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for mixed-surface operations where off-road durability and on-road performance are both required. The deep and rigid block tread pattern resists wear and maintains traction under heavy load, while the cut resistance compound protects the casing from damage on rough terrain. 5, with ply ratings from 14 to 20 and load indices from 129/127 to 160/156.
What D960 Is Built For
D960 is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for mixed-surface operations where off-road durability and on-road performance are both required. The deep and rigid block tread pattern resists wear and maintains traction under heavy load, while the cut resistance compound protects the casing from damage on rough terrain. It is available in 17 sizes across 11.00R20 to 315/80R22.5, with ply ratings from 14 to 20 and load indices from 129/127 to 160/156. The tyre supports both dual and single fitments, with pressure and load data provided for each size. It is suitable for tippers, mixers, haul trucks and utility vehicles operating on gravel, quarry roads, construction sites and paved highways.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Deep and rigid block design for long life and good traction
- Cut resistance compound
Key Benefits
- Deep and rigid block tread pattern resists wear and maintains traction on mixed surfaces
- Cut resistance compound protects the casing from damage on rough terrain
- Multiple sizes from 11.00R20 to 315/80R22.5 cover most drive axles in on and off road fleets
- Ply ratings from 14 to 20 allow matching to axle load and service condition
- Load index up to 160/156 supports high single and dual axle loads at proper inflation
- Tread depth from 15.5 mm to 22.0 mm provides long casing life and retreadability
- Standard rim compatibility ensures fitment across common wheel widths
Problems It Solves
- Standard highway tyres fail early on unsealed roads due to sidewall and tread damage from rocks and debris
- Off-road tyres wear too quickly and run noisy on paved sections, reducing fuel efficiency and driver comfort
- Fleets must stock multiple drive patterns for summer and winter use, increasing inventory and fitting labour
- Low tread depth and weak tread compounds lead to early casing failure before tread wear is complete
- Multiple suppliers, MOQs and paperwork increase sourcing complexity for mixed container orders
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying fleets in mining, construction and agriculture sectors
- Fleet operators replacing drive-axle tyres that fail due to casing damage on rough terrain
- Importers needing a single pattern that covers both on-road and off-road duty without seasonal changeover
- Wholesale distributors sourcing mixed container loads across multiple drive-axle sizes and patterns
- Government and tender buyers requiring tyres with consistent performance across varied terrain
Application Scenarios
- Tippers and dump trucks running from quarry face to asphalt plant on unsealed roads and paved highways
- Concrete mixers accessing construction sites via gravel or graded haul roads
- Haul trucks operating in mining and quarry environments with mixed surface routes
- Utility and municipal vehicles that must perform on both paved roads and unpaved service roads
- Fleets requiring one drive pattern that performs on both off-road terrain and highway speeds
Technical Features
- Deep and rigid block tread pattern designed for long life and consistent traction under load
- Cut resistance compound in the tread and shoulder areas reduces damage from sharp objects
- Radial casing construction with reinforced belt package for durability on mixed surfaces
- Tread depth ranges from 15.5 mm to 22.0 mm, supporting long casing life and retreading
- Multiple standard rim sizes from 6.75 to 9.75 ensure compatibility with common wheel widths
- Load index and pressure data provided for both dual and single fitments across all sizes

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard highway drive tyres
D960 has a deeper tread and cut-resistant compound, which extends casing life on rough terrain but may reduce rolling efficiency on paved roads
Compared With Dedicated off-road drive tyres
D960 wears slower and runs quieter on paved roads, but may not provide the same level of traction in deep mud or soft terrain
Compared With Single-purpose winter drive tyres
D960 does not carry 3PMSF or M+S markings, so it is not suitable for winter-only use in regulated markets
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest available rating – overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 6.75 for 9.5R17.5, 7.50 for 265/70R19.5, 8.0 for 11.00R20, 8.5 for 12.00R20 and 12.00R24, 8.25 for 275/70R22.5, 9.00 for 12R22.5, 295/80R22.5, 315/80R22.5, 9.75 for 13R22.5
- 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 running one-way heavy loads
- Inspect tread and sidewall after every off-road cycle for embedded stones or cuts to protect casing for retreading
D960 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11.00R20 or 315/80R22.5 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?
11.00R20, 12.00R20, 12.00R24, 12R22.5, 13R22.5, 9.5R17.5, 265/70R19.5, 275/70R22.5, 295/80R22.5, 315/80R22.5. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre suitable for winter use?
It does not carry M+S or 3PMSF markings. It is not certified for winter use in regulated markets. Confirm your own national requirement 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.
