- Light & Mini Truck
D969-Light Truck is a radial truck tyre designed for light and mini trucks that operate on mixed surfaces, including gravel roads, construction sites, and unpaved access routes, while also handling paved highway travel. The tyre is rated for all axle positions—front, drive, and trailer—making it suitable for use across the vehicle's full wheel set.
What D969-Light Truck Is Built For
D969-Light Truck is a radial truck tyre designed for light and mini trucks that operate on mixed surfaces, including gravel roads, construction sites, and unpaved access routes, while also handling paved highway travel. The tyre is rated for all axle positions—front, drive, and trailer—making it suitable for use across the vehicle's full wheel set. It features a tread compound engineered for resistance to chipping, cutting, and abrasion, with deep tread depths that extend service life and improve mileage. The pattern is built for consistent traction under load in off-road conditions without sacrificing performance on tarmac.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Good traction resistance
- Chip,cut and abrasion resistance tread compound
- Deep tread depth increases mileage and service life
Key Benefits
- Radial construction provides better load support and heat dissipation on long hauls
- Chip, cut and abrasion resistance tread compound extends casing life on rough terrain
- Deep tread depth of 15.5 mm and 17.5 mm increases mileage and retreadability
- All-position fitment reduces the need for multiple tyre patterns across a fleet
- Seven size and ply combinations cover most light and mini truck applications in emerging markets
Problems It Solves
- Fleets using separate on-road and off-road tyres face higher inventory and fitting complexity
- Tread wear and casing damage from sharp rocks and debris reduce tyre life on unsealed roads
- Lack of all-position tyres forces operators to stock multiple patterns for different axle positions
- Shallow tread depths lead to early replacement and higher cost per kilometre
- Inconsistent performance on mixed routes causes uneven wear and reduced retread value
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors sourcing tyres for light and mini trucks in markets with mixed-surface routes
- Fleet operators managing small trucks that run both on and off paved roads
- Importers who need a single pattern that covers front, drive and trailer positions
- Contractors buying tyres by the container for a mixed fleet of light trucks and mini buses
Application Scenarios
- Light trucks used in construction site transport on gravel access roads and paved highways
- Mini trucks operating in agricultural zones with unsealed farm tracks and tarmac roads
- Delivery vans and service vehicles running on mixed-surface routes in urban and peri-urban areas
- Fleets in mining support or quarry logistics that travel from site to main road with no route changeover
- Distributors supplying tyres to small contractors who need one pattern for multiple vehicle types
Technical Features
- Radial truck tyre construction with casing designed for all axle positions
- Tread compound resistant to chipping, cutting and abrasion under heavy load
- Deep tread depth of 15.5 mm or 17.5 mm across all sizes to increase service life
- Block pattern optimized for traction on loose surfaces without sacrificing highway stability
- All sizes carry the F speed symbol, suitable for sustained speeds up to 100 km/h

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With On-road light truck tyres with shallow tread
D969-Light Truck has deeper tread and abrasion resistance, extending life on unsealed roads where on-road tyres fail early
Compared With Dedicated off-road tyres for light trucks
The D969 pattern wears slower on paved roads and runs quieter than deep-lug off-road patterns
Compared With Multiple tyre patterns for front, drive and trailer positions
One pattern covers all positions, reducing stock complexity and fitting labour
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest available rating
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 5.50F for 7.00R16LT, 6.00G for 7.50R16LT, 6.50H for 8.25R16LT
- Inflate to the pressure shown in the size table for your load and fitment type
- Rotate tyres between positions before irregular wear becomes significant
- Inspect tread and groove bottoms after off-road use for embedded debris that could damage the casing
D969-Light Truck Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 7.00R16LT or 8.25R16LT 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 in 12PR and 14PR, 7.50R16LT in 12PR and 14PR, and 8.25R16LT in 12PR, 14PR and 16PR. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre suitable for all axle positions?
Yes. The D969-Light Truck is rated for front, drive and trailer positions on light and mini trucks.
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.
