LDL186-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haul fleets that operate on a mix of paved roads and moderate off-road conditions. The tread pattern uses a classic mahjong block style with variable angle grooves to maintain strong traction under load and improve self-cleaning. The shoulder and central block proportions are optimized for even wear and stability.
What LDL186-New Is Built For
LDL186-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haul fleets that operate on a mix of paved roads and moderate off-road conditions. The tread pattern uses a classic mahjong block style with variable angle grooves to maintain strong traction under load and improve self-cleaning. The shoulder and central block proportions are optimized for even wear and stability. The casing uses ultra strong skeleton materials to support safety under repeated loading. A new tread compound increases wear resistance, extending mileage by more than 20% compared to previous versions. Five size and ply combinations are available, covering most regional drive axles in 6x4 and 8x4 configurations.

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With General highway drive tyres
LDL186-New has a more robust block pattern and higher wear resistance for regional duty, but may have slightly lower rolling efficiency on pure highway routes
Compared With Dedicated off-road drive tyres
LDL186-New is optimized for paved and light off-road use; it wears faster and has less grip in deep mud than a dedicated off-road pattern
Compared With Previous version of LDL186
The new tread compound increases wear resistance, extending mileage by more than 20% compared to the prior version
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying costs money and rides hard
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: all sizes use 9.00
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate drive positions before irregular wear sets in, particularly on fleets running heavy one-way loads
- Inspect groove bottoms for lodged debris after every off-road cycle to protect the casing for retreading
LDL186-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 12R22.5 or 315/80R22.5 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?
12R22.5 in 16PR and 18PR, 295/80R22.5 in 16PR and 18PR, and 315/80R22.5 in 18PR and 20PR. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
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.
Is this tyre suitable for regional duty?
Yes. It is specifically designed for regional drive axles, with a tread pattern and compound optimized for mixed-surface routes and extended wear.
