LDO983 is a radial off-road drive truck tyre designed for vehicles operating in hilly terrain, mines, and other severe off-road conditions. The block tread pattern delivers strong traction and self-cleaning performance, while the chip, cut and abrasion-resistant tread compound extends casing life. Deep tread depth across all sizes improves mileage and service life.
What LDO983 Is Built For
LDO983 is a radial off-road drive truck tyre designed for vehicles operating in hilly terrain, mines, and other severe off-road conditions. The block tread pattern delivers strong traction and self-cleaning performance, while the chip, cut and abrasion-resistant tread compound extends casing life. Deep tread depth across all sizes improves mileage and service life. The tyre is available in nine sizes from 9.00R20 to 295/80R22.5, with ply ratings of 16, 18, and 20, and load indices up to 160/156. It is built for heavy-duty off-road use with consistent performance under high load and low-pressure operation.
Manufacturer Feature Claims

- Chip,cut and abrasion resistance tread compound
- Deep tread depth increases mileage and service life
Key Benefits
- Block tread pattern ensures powerful traction and good self-cleaning ability in mud, gravel and loose terrain
- Chip, cut and abrasion-resistant tread compound resists damage from rocks and debris
- Deep tread depth increases mileage and extends service life in harsh off-road environments

Problems It Solves
- Standard highway drive tyres fail quickly in off-road conditions due to inadequate tread depth and lack of self-cleaning ability
- Tread damage from rocks and debris shortens casing life when using tyres without abrasion-resistant compounds
- Fleets must switch between multiple patterns for different terrain types, increasing stock and fitting complexity
- Low-pressure operation in off-road conditions causes premature wear and casing failure on tyres not designed for it
- Inconsistent load capacity across sizes leads to over-specification or under-specification when sourcing from multiple plants

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard highway drive tyres
LDO983 has deeper tread, abrasion-resistant compound and self-cleaning tread for off-road use; highway tyres wear out quickly in mud and rock
Compared With General off-road tyres with shallow tread
LDO983 has 22.0 to 24.0 mm tread depth, which increases service life and mileage in abrasive conditions
Compared With Tyres with no chip and cut resistance
LDO983 uses a compound specifically rated for damage resistance in rocky and uneven terrain
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: 7.0 for 9.00R20, 7.5 for 10.00R20, 8.0 for 11.00R20, 8.5 for 12.00R20 and 12.00R24, 9.00 for 295/80R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Inspect tread and sidewall after every off-road cycle for embedded debris or damage
- Rotate drive positions before irregular wear sets in, especially on fleets running one-way loads
LDO983 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 9.00R20 or 295/80R22.5 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?
9.00R20, 10.00R20, 11.00R20, 12.00R20, 12.00R24, and 295/80R22.5. Ply ratings are 16, 18, and 20. 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 hilly terrain?
Yes. The LDO983 is specifically designed for hilly areas and mine operations, with a block tread pattern for traction and deep tread for extended service life.
