E-2/L-2
- 8 sizes
- Bias OTR
E-2/L-2 is a bias OTR tyre designed for off-road work where consistent traction and self-cleaning performance are required. The tread pattern is built for grip on loose surfaces such as gravel, mud and sand, with grooves that resist clogging and maintain contact under load.
What E-2/L-2 Is Built For
E-2/L-2 is a bias OTR tyre designed for off-road work where consistent traction and self-cleaning performance are required. The tread pattern is built for grip on loose surfaces such as gravel, mud and sand, with grooves that resist clogging and maintain contact under load. It is intended for use on heavy-duty off-road vehicles operating in mining, quarrying, construction and agricultural environments. The tyre provides good steerability and maintains stability during directional changes on uneven terrain. It is available in eight sizes from 15.5-25 to 23.5-25, with ply ratings from 12 to 24, covering a range of axle loads and rim widths used in heavy equipment.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Good steer and traction
- Off-road pattern has self-cleaning performance and comfort
Key Benefits
- Off-road tread pattern with self-cleaning performance reduces mud and debris buildup in grooves
- Good steer and traction on loose surfaces such as gravel, sand and mud
- Multiple ply ratings from 12 to 24 allow matching to axle load and duty cycle
- Eight sizes available from 15.5-25 to 23.5-25 cover a range of rim widths and load requirements
- Tread depth up to 595 mm provides long casing life in abrasive off-road conditions
Problems It Solves
- Tyres that clog with mud and lose traction on wet or loose surfaces due to poor groove design
- Lack of steerability and directional control on uneven or soft ground
- Short casing life caused by rapid tread wear in abrasive off-road conditions

- Difficulty in finding tyres with sufficient ply rating and rim compatibility for heavy-duty off-road vehicles
Who It Is For
- Mining and quarry contractors sourcing OTR tyres for fleet replacement
- Construction companies buying tyres for loaders and dump trucks used on soft ground
- Agricultural dealers supplying tyres for tractors and harvesters in muddy conditions

- Importers who need a single supplier for mixed OTR sizes and patterns across multiple projects
Application Scenarios
- Mining haul trucks operating on ungraded haul roads with loose gravel and mud
- Quarry loaders moving material between pit face and crusher on uneven terrain
- Construction site dump trucks navigating soft ground and muddy access roads
- Agricultural tractors and harvesters working in fields with wet or sticky soil
- Heavy equipment in remote locations where tyre replacement is infrequent and casing life is critical
Technical Features
- Bias construction with reinforced casing for durability under off-road loads
- Tread pattern designed for self-cleaning performance to maintain grip in mud and debris
- Good steer and traction performance on loose and uneven surfaces
- Tread depth ranges from 395 mm to 595 mm, supporting extended casing life

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Radial OTR tyres with similar size and load
Bias construction offers better flexibility and impact resistance on rough terrain, but radial tyres may have longer tread life on paved sections
Compared With Deep-lug off-road tyres with aggressive tread
E-2/L-2 has moderate lug depth and self-cleaning design, which reduces noise and wear on mixed surfaces compared to deeper lugs
Compared With Standard on-road truck tyres
E-2/L-2 is built for off-road traction and self-cleaning, while on-road tyres lack the groove depth and pattern to handle mud and loose material
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load and duty cycle; do not overspecify to avoid unnecessary cost
- Verify rim size and width against your wheel; 12.00/1.3 to 19.50/2.5 are the listed options
- Inflate to the pressure recommended for your load and speed in the size table
- Inspect tread grooves after each off-road cycle for debris buildup that may reduce traction
- Rotate tyres between positions before uneven wear becomes significant, especially on vehicles with one-way loading
E-2/L-2 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of E-2/L-2 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?
15.5-25, 17.5-25, 20.5-25, and 23.5-25 in ply ratings from 12 to 24. Full load, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table.
Can you supply TT or TL 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 highway use?
E-2/L-2 is designed for off-road duty. It is not intended for sustained highway use, where radial tyres or dedicated highway patterns would be more appropriate.
