LDU610-New is a radial bus tyre designed for urban drive axles in city transit, shuttle and intercity coach fleets. The tyre features an enhanced sidewall for high safety, with a 35% increase in strength from ST steel cord application. A fiber layer in the bead area prevents bead cracking, improving casing life under repeated urban stop-start cycles.
What LDU610-New Is Built For
LDU610-New is a radial bus tyre designed for urban drive axles in city transit, shuttle and intercity coach fleets. The tyre features an enhanced sidewall for high safety, with a 35% increase in strength from ST steel cord application. A fiber layer in the bead area prevents bead cracking, improving casing life under repeated urban stop-start cycles. It is available in one size, 11R22.5, with a 16 ply rating, load index 146/143 and 148/145, and speed symbol J. The tread depth is 21.5 mm, with a section width of 279 mm and overall diameter of 1054 mm or 1050 mm depending on the load index. It is built for consistent performance on paved urban routes with frequent braking and turning.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Enhanced sidewall ensures high safety
- Tire strength is increased by 35%,with application of ST steel cord
- Tire bead cracking is prevented,with application fiber layer in bead area
Key Benefits
- Enhanced sidewall construction improves safety on urban routes with frequent stops and turns
- 35% increase in tyre strength from ST steel cord application resists impact and deformation
- Fiber layer in the bead area prevents cracking under repeated stress and vibration
- 11R22.5 size with 16 ply rating supports high load capacity for urban transit buses
- Tread depth of 21.5 mm ensures long wear life on paved city and intercity routes
Problems It Solves
- Sidewall damage from repeated urban braking and turning reduces casing life and increases replacement frequency
- Bead cracking occurs under stop-start cycles, leading to casing failure before tread wear is complete
- Lack of consistent strength in standard radial bus tyres leads to early failure in high-duty urban use
- Inconsistent load capacity across sizes forces operators to stock multiple patterns for different buses
- Frequent tyre changes due to structural failure increase downtime and maintenance costs
Who It Is For
- Bus fleet operators managing urban and intercity coach fleets in Asia, Europe, Africa and South America
- Tyre distributors supplying urban transit and shuttle operators with consistent drive axle tyres
- Government tender buyers requiring tyres for public transport buses with defined load and speed
- Fleets replacing tyres that fail prematurely due to bead cracking or sidewall fatigue
- Importers sourcing one pattern for multiple urban drive axle applications across a region
Application Scenarios
- City transit buses operating on high-frequency urban routes with frequent stops and starts
- Intercity coaches running daily between city centres and regional hubs on paved roads
- Shuttle services in airports and commercial zones with repeated braking and turning
- Fleets replacing drive-axle tyres that fail due to bead cracking or sidewall damage
- Operators needing a single drive pattern for urban buses with consistent load and speed
Technical Features
- Radial construction with ST steel cord in the casing for 35% higher strength
- Fiber layer applied in the bead area to prevent cracking under repeated stress
- Enhanced sidewall design for improved safety and resistance to impact and deformation
- Tread depth of 21.5 mm across both load index variants for consistent wear life
- Standard rim size 8.25 for 11R22.5, matching common urban bus wheel configurations

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard radial bus tyres without ST steel cord
LDU610-New has 35% higher strength, reducing the risk of casing failure in high-duty urban use
Compared With Tyres without fiber layer in the bead area
The fiber layer prevents bead cracking under repeated stop-start cycles, extending casing life
Compared With Tyres with lower load index or ply rating
148/145 load index supports higher dual load than 146/143, reducing the need for dual fitment changes
Use Guide
- Match ply rating and load index to your actual axle load, not to the highest available rating
- Check the standard rim size 8.25 against your wheel; mismatch causes fitment issues
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single pressures differ
- Monitor tread wear and rotate drive positions before irregular wear sets in
- Inspect bead area regularly for signs of cracking, especially after long urban duty cycles
LDU610-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11R22.5 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?
11R22.5 in 16 ply rating, with load index 146/143 and 148/145. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre suitable for urban bus fleets?
Yes. It is specifically designed for urban drive axles in city transit, shuttle and intercity coach fleets with frequent stops and starts.
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.
