Double Coin RLB800 Drive-Position Tire
Built for regional and long-haul fleets, the Double Coin RLB800 is a value-focused drive tire that balances traction, durability, and even wear. Its robust steel casing supports retreading programs, and the lug pattern's biting edges maintain grip under torque. Optimized contact pressure helps the tread wear evenly, extending service life and lowering cost per mile. Offered in key fleet sizes, the RLB800 suits tractors that run mostly on-highway with occasional regional work.
Features and Benefits
The RLB800's drive-focused tread delivers confident traction under acceleration and braking. Lateral grooves and interlocking blocks move water away to improve wet grip. A durable, cut-resistant compound fights chipping, and stone-defense features help prevent drilling at the base of grooves. Even pressure distribution limits irregular wear, while a reinforced steel casing is built for multiple retreads to reduce lifecycle cost for owner-operators and fleets.
Sizes and Specifications
Popular Double Coin RLB800 sizes include 11R22.5, 11R24.5, and 295/75R22.5 in multiple load ranges. Load index, speed rating, and ply rating vary by size. Before you buy, confirm size and load range against your door-jamb placard and match the tire to the drive axle. For duals, verify approved rim widths and overall diameter so you maintain proper spacing and clearance. If you run mixed fleets, align the RLB800's specs with your retread program and torque needs to maximize casing value.
Popular fitments and axle placement
The RLB800 fits drive axles on Class 8 tractors and select medium-duty trucks set up for on-highway or regional routes. Pair it with compatible steer and trailer tires to balance handling and wear. In duals, match circumference and tread depth side to side to avoid driveline stress. For single-wide conversions or specialty use, confirm approved alternatives and inflation targets with your fleet manager or technician.
Performance and Applications
Engineered for steady on-highway performance, the RLB800 maintains traction in dry and wet conditions with a tread layout that stays stable under torque. Its compound and block geometry favor mileage and even wear, making it a strong fit for long-haul and regional routes where fuel economy and predictable handling matter. In light winter weather, the tread edges help, but for severe snow and ice a dedicated winter drive tire is the safer choice. Maintain correct inflation and rotate on schedule to balance wear across positions.
Pricing and Value
Pricing for the RLB800 varies by size, load range, and availability. Delivered cost also depends on shipping, installation, disposal, and any casing credits from your retread program. To compare value, estimate cost per mile by weighing expected tread life, even-wear characteristics, and retreadability. The RLB800's durable casing and consistent wear pattern are built to help cut lifecycle costs. Request a quote with your size and service needs for an accurate out-the-door figure.
RLB800 vs. Other Drive Tires
Compared with open-shoulder drive designs that chase maximum bite on loose surfaces, the Double Coin RLB800 focuses on stable on-highway traction and even wear for predictable mileage. If your lanes are mostly long-haul, select the size and load range that align with your weight and fuel goals. Fleets that see frequent off-pavement segments may prefer a more open-shoulder pattern for extra self-cleaning, accepting faster wear. Review your route mix, torque loads, and retread strategy to match the RLB800's strengths to your duty cycle.
Installation, Rotation, and Maintenance
Mount the RLB800 on approved rims, set cold inflation to match load and speed, and recheck pressures after the first 24 hours in service. Keep duals matched in circumference and tread depth, and inspect for trapped stones or cuts during fuel stops. Rotate across drive axles on a set schedule to control localized wear. Maintain alignment and correct stud torque to prevent irregular patterns. Track tread depth and inflation trends, since early adjustments can extend tire life and support successful retreads.
