- Bias OTR
LC101 is a bias OTR tyre designed for loaders operating under seriously tough service conditions in tunnels. The flat and smooth tread pattern reduces the risk of punctures from stone, while the construction delivers excellent wear and cut resistance in high-abrasion environments.
What LC101 Is Built For
LC101 is a bias OTR tyre designed for loaders operating under seriously tough service conditions in tunnels. The flat and smooth tread pattern reduces the risk of punctures from stone, while the construction delivers excellent wear and cut resistance in high-abrasion environments. It is supplied in a single size, 13/80-20, with a 16 ply rating, suitable for heavy-duty loader applications where durability and resistance to damage are critical. The tyre is built for consistent performance in confined, high-impact tunnel environments where debris, sharp edges and uneven surfaces are common.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Available for loaders operating under seriously tough service conditions in tunnels
- Excellent wear and cut resistance
- Flat and smooth tread improves the puncture resistance to stone
Key Benefits
- Flat and smooth tread pattern improves puncture resistance to stone in tunnel environments
- Excellent wear and cut resistance for prolonged service in high-abrasion conditions
- 16 ply rating provides structural strength for heavy-duty loader use
- Single size 13/80-20 with 800 mm section width and 325 mm overall diameter fits standard loader rims
- Designed specifically for loaders in tunnels, not general off-road or on-road use
Problems It Solves
- Tyres failing early due to cuts and punctures from stone and debris in tunnel environments
- Wear rates too high for tyres not built for continuous high-abrasion service
- Lack of a dedicated tyre pattern for loaders operating in confined, high-impact tunnel areas
- Need for a single, robust OTR tyre that performs consistently across repeated tunnel cycles
- Inconsistent performance when using general-purpose OTR tyres in specialized tunnel conditions
Who It Is For
- Mining and tunnel construction contractors sourcing OTR tyres for loader fleets
- Fleet operators managing loaders in underground or confined work zones
- Distributors supplying tyres to contractors in high-abrasion tunnel environments
- Government or infrastructure projects requiring OTR tyres for tunnel maintenance equipment
- Importers buying by container for a dedicated OTR loader application in a specific market
Application Scenarios
- Loaders operating in underground tunnels with sharp rock edges, debris and uneven surfaces
- Heavy-duty loader tasks in mining or quarry tunnel access zones where casing damage is frequent
- Tunnel maintenance and construction work where tyre durability under impact is essential
- Fleets requiring consistent OTR tyre performance in confined, high-damage environments
- Operators replacing tyres that fail prematurely due to cuts, punctures or wear in tunnel service
Technical Features
- Bias construction with 16 ply rating for strength under heavy load and impact
- Flat and smooth tread pattern designed to reduce stone penetration and puncture risk
- 13/80-20 size with 800 mm section width and 325 mm overall diameter for standard loader fitment
- Rim size 9.0 compatible with common loader wheel standards
- Maximum load capacity of 5430 kg at 1045 kPa inflation pressure at 10 km/h speed

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With General-purpose OTR tyres
LC101 is designed specifically for loaders in tunnels, with a flat tread and cut resistance not found in standard OTR patterns
Compared With Radial OTR tyres
Bias construction provides better impact resistance in high-abrasion tunnel environments, though radial tyres may offer longer tread life on smooth surfaces
Compared With Tyres with deep lugs for off-road use
LC101's flat tread reduces stone retention and puncture risk, but may have less traction in loose or muddy terrain
Use Guide
- Verify the 13/80-20 size and 9.0 rim match your loader's wheel specification
- Inflate to 1045 kPa at 10 km/h maximum speed; do not exceed this pressure or speed
- Inspect the tread and sidewall after each tunnel cycle for cuts, embedded debris or wear
- Rotate tyres before uneven wear develops, especially on loaders with one-sided load patterns
- Use only on loaders operating in tunnel environments; not suitable for highway or general off-road use
LC101 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. The 13/80-20 size is the only one available, and a full container is required. Mixed loads across sizes and patterns are accepted if multiple sizes are available.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the 13/80-20 size is in stock at the plant. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation.
Which sizes are available?
Only 13/80-20 with 16 ply rating is available. Section width is 800 mm, overall diameter is 325 mm, and rim size is 9.0.
Is this tyre suitable for highway use?
No. It is designed specifically for loaders operating under tough service conditions in tunnels. It is not rated for highway or general off-road use.
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 the 13/80-20 size before order placement.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled directly by us. 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.
