LDL161-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haul fleets that operate on paved roads with occasional off-road or rough-surface exposure. The block pattern is structured for consistent braking and grip under load, suitable for the drive axle position on medium-duty trucks. 00R20, with a ply rating of 18, load index 149/146, and speed symbol K.
What LDL161-New Is Built For
LDL161-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haul fleets that operate on paved roads with occasional off-road or rough-surface exposure. The block pattern is structured for consistent braking and grip under load, suitable for the drive axle position on medium-duty trucks. It is supplied in one size, 10.00R20, with a ply rating of 18, load index 149/146, and speed symbol K. The tyre is built for regional duty cycles where road surface conditions vary but the primary route remains paved.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Typical block pattern design suitable for the drive axle of trucks
- Good braking and grip on the road
Key Benefits
- Block pattern design optimized for drive-axle traction and braking on paved and mixed surfaces
- Load index 149/146 supports up to 3250 kg single at 930 kPa on the 10.00R20 fitment
- Speed symbol K allows operation up to 120 km/h, suitable for regional highway speeds
- Standard rim 7.5 ensures compatibility with common truck wheel assemblies
- One size available reduces inventory complexity for regional fleet operators
Problems It Solves
- Drive-axle tyres designed for highway use fail to provide adequate grip on wet or lightly degraded surfaces
- Fleets using off-road tyres on regional routes experience excessive wear and noise on paved roads
- Inconsistent braking performance leads to longer stopping distances on wet or uneven pavement
- Multiple tyre patterns required for different route types increase inventory and fitting complexity
- Lack of standardization across regional fleets leads to higher maintenance and spare tyre costs
Who It Is For
- Regional truck fleet operators managing mixed-surface routes with limited off-road exposure
- Distributors supplying drive-axle tyres to regional haulers in Asia, Africa and South America
- Fleet managers replacing drive-axle tyres that fail due to poor grip or inconsistent braking
- Importers sourcing one consistent drive pattern for regional truck fleets across multiple markets
- Contractors requiring tyres that meet standard regional duty requirements without over-engineering
Application Scenarios
- Regional delivery trucks running daily between distribution hubs and retail outlets on paved roads with occasional gravel access roads
- Utility and municipal service vehicles operating on city streets and temporary access routes
- Construction site support vehicles moving between paved yards and unsealed work zones
- Fleets operating in markets with mixed road conditions but no heavy off-road duty
- Truck operators needing a consistent drive-axle pattern across multiple regional routes
Technical Features
- Radial truck tyre construction with 10.00R20 size and 18 ply rating for regional duty
- Block pattern design suitable for drive axle traction under load on paved and mixed surfaces
- Good braking and grip performance on road surfaces, including wet and lightly degraded conditions
- Tread operation depth of 20 mm as specified in the size table
- Speed symbol K allows use at up to 120 km/h, suitable for regional highway speeds

- Label, marking and packaging adjusted to the destination market requirement
Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Long-haul highway drive tyres
LDL161-New prioritizes braking and grip over rolling resistance; on pure highway duty, a long-haul pattern will last longer per millimetre
Compared With Deep-lug off-road drive tyres
A deep-lug pattern offers better traction in mud but wears faster and runs noisier on paved regional routes
Compared With Multiple drive patterns for different routes
Using one pattern across regional routes reduces inventory, fitting labour and spare tyre stock
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load; overspecifying increases cost and ride harshness
- Check the standard rim 7.5 against your wheel assembly before ordering
- Inflate to 930 kPa for both dual and single fitment as specified in the size table
- Rotate drive positions before irregular wear sets in, especially on fleets with one-way load cycles
- Inspect tread and groove bottoms regularly for signs of wear or embedded debris
LDL161-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. The 10.00R20 size is available in one configuration. 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?
Only 10.00R20 with 18 ply rating, load index 149/146, and speed symbol K. Full load and pressure data is in the size table.
Is this tyre marked for any specific market?
It carries the GB marking. Confirm your import market’s marking requirements; we can confirm if the plant can supply DOT, ECE or other markings.
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.
Can you supply tyres with different markings?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us your import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on the 10.00R20 size before you place the order.
