- 2 sizes
- Bias OTR
LL26(E-3) is a bias OTR tyre designed for large self-dumping trucks operating in heavy-duty off-road environments such as quarries, mines and construction sites. The tyre features a tread pattern engineered for wear resistance, good grip and self-cleaning performance under high load and abrasive conditions. 0 kPa inflation pressure.
What LL26(E-3) Is Built For
LL26(E-3) is a bias OTR tyre designed for large self-dumping trucks operating in heavy-duty off-road environments such as quarries, mines and construction sites. The tyre features a tread pattern engineered for wear resistance, good grip and self-cleaning performance under high load and abrasive conditions. It is available in two sizes: 18.00-25 with ply ratings of 32 and 40, offering maximum loads of 15,000 kg and 17,000 kg respectively at 30.0 kPa inflation pressure. Both sizes are built on a 13.00/2.5 rim and feature a tread depth of 575 mm and 700 mm, with overall diameters of 8750 mm and 9750 mm.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Available for large self-dumping trucks
- Wear resistance,good grip and self-cleaning performance
Key Benefits
- Designed specifically for large self-dumping trucks in high-abrasion off-road environments
- Wear resistance extends casing life under heavy load and rough terrain
- Tread pattern provides good grip and self-cleaning performance on muddy or dusty surfaces
- Two ply ratings (32 and 40) allow matching to axle load and duty cycle
- Standard rim size 13.00/2.5 ensures compatibility with common dump truck wheel assemblies
Problems It Solves
- Frequent casing failure due to poor wear resistance on abrasive quarry and mine surfaces
- Tyre slippage or loss of grip in mud, dust or loose aggregate without self-cleaning tread design
- Mismatch between tyre ply rating and actual axle load leading to premature failure or over-specification
- Need for multiple tyre patterns across different dump truck models within the same fleet
- Lack of consistent supply and documentation for large OTR tyres from multiple factories
Who It Is For
- Mining and quarry contractors sourcing OTR tyres for large dump trucks
- Construction companies buying tyres by container for site-specific fleets
- Fleet operators managing self-dumping trucks in off-road or mixed-surface duty
- Distributors supplying OTR tyres to heavy equipment dealers in Asia, Africa and South America
- Government tender buyers requiring OTR tyres for public infrastructure projects
Application Scenarios
- Quarry haul trucks moving loaded material from pit face to crusher on ungraded gravel roads
- Mining dump trucks operating on rough haul roads with loose rock and mud accumulation
- Construction site dump trucks transporting soil and aggregates over uneven, unpaved terrain
- Heavy-duty self-dumping trucks in infrastructure projects where tyre durability is critical
- Fleets requiring a single OTR tyre pattern across multiple dump truck models with similar axle loads
Technical Features
- Bias construction with reinforced casing for high-load off-road duty
- Tread pattern designed for wear resistance and self-cleaning in muddy or dusty conditions
- Good grip performance on loose and uneven terrain common in mining and quarry operations
- Two size variants (18.00-25) with different ply ratings to match load and service conditions
- Standard rim size 13.00/2.5 used across both sizes for consistent fitment

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Radial OTR tyres
Bias construction in LL26(E-3) offers higher durability under high impact and heavy load, but may have higher rolling resistance and lower speed capability
Compared With Standard OTR tyres with lower ply ratings
The 32 and 40 ply ratings in LL26(E-3) support higher loads and longer casing life in severe off-road duty
Compared With Tyres without self-cleaning tread design
LL26(E-3)'s tread pattern reduces clogging in mud and dust, maintaining grip and reducing heat buildup
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load; overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Verify rim width and size against your wheel assembly: 13.00/2.5 is standard for both sizes
- Inflate to 30.0 kPa at maximum load; under-inflation increases wear and risk of casing damage
- Inspect tread and sidewall after each shift for embedded debris or damage, especially in muddy conditions
- Rotate tyres between positions if uneven wear develops, particularly on trucks with one-way load patterns
LL26(E-3) Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 18.00-25 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?
18.00-25 in 32 and 40 ply ratings. 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 highway use?
This tyre is designed for off-road and heavy-duty dump truck duty. It is not rated for sustained highway speeds or high-speed operation.
