For special vehicles like dump trucks, mining trucks, and waste haul trucks we suggest fitting these with high quality tires that promote high resistance to chipping, tearing, and cutting. On the other side, the tires should provide good acoustic comfort and improved fuel usage for less operational costs.
For example, Yokohama has an innovative tire designed especially for mixed services, it is LY053. This model is a default tire option for the most demanding off road requirements. Engineers built this tire to deliver good mileage, outstanding traction, and high resistance to cut/chip. Aggressive pattern with self cleaning lugs offers excellent traction and braking performance even on mud and rocky roads. Specialized tread compound control fatigue, chipping, and scaling in rugged weather environments. Due to the special lug pattern and the wide footprint, it shows amazing performance on and off road. Massive zigzag center blocks boost the traction and grip ability, delivering amazing performance even in muddy, and wet conditions.
This model also stands out with a thick under tread compound that is responsible to dissipate heat. While steel cord top belt protects against penetration, thus combating tread distortion and heat build up. A 16-ply rating internal structure provides up to 7,1600lbs maximum load. Moreover, Yokohama LY053 is produced in the following sizes: 11R24.5 and 11R22.5. As a result, this model is able to fit a wide range of dump trucks, ready mixers, and waste haul trucks.
