F860 is a radial truck tyre designed for regional service on buses and trucks, specifically for steer and trailer axle positions. It is built to handle the repetitive stop-start cycles and lateral forces common in urban and regional haulage. The tread pattern provides consistent side-wear resistance and supports high-speed performance on paved routes.
What F860 Is Built For
F860 is a radial truck tyre designed for regional service on buses and trucks, specifically for steer and trailer axle positions. It is built to handle the repetitive stop-start cycles and lateral forces common in urban and regional haulage. The tread pattern provides consistent side-wear resistance and supports high-speed performance on paved routes. Available in ten sizes from 10.00R20 to 305/75R24.5, it covers a range of bus and truck applications across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, Europe and Oceania. Load index ranges from 146/143 to 154/151, with speed symbols L, K and M. The tyre is supplied with standard rim compatibility and pressure data matched to each size and ply rating.

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With General-purpose truck tyres for long-haul service
F860 prioritizes side-wear resistance and high-speed stability for regional use; long-haul tyres may last longer on highways but wear faster on frequent turns and stops
Compared With Dedicated steer axle tyres with deep tread for off-road use
F860 has less tread depth and a shallower tread pattern, making it better for paved regional routes; off-road steer tyres wear faster on tarmac
Compared With Separate steer and trailer axle patterns
F860 covers both axle positions with one pattern, reducing inventory and simplifying ordering and fitting
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: 7.5 for 10.00R20, 8.0 for 11.00R20 and 11.00R22, 8.5 for 12.00R20, 9.00 for 295/80R22.5 and 305/75R24.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate steer and trailer axle tyres before irregular wear sets in, especially on fleets with one-way loading patterns
- Inspect tread shoulders for early wear after 10,000 km to confirm side-wear resistance is performing as expected
F860 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of F860 typically fills by 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 needs to be produced. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation.
Which sizes are available?
10.00R20, 11.00R20, 12.00R20, 11.00R22, 295/80R22.5, 305/75R24.5. Full load index, rim, pressure and tread depth data for each is in the size table.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us your import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on each 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.
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 both steer and trailer axles?
Yes. F860 is designed for both steer and trailer axle positions on buses and trucks in regional service.
