Product focus

Passenger & commercial tires

Commercial tire tread

Start with the duty cycle

Tire size, load index, speed rating and road conditions provide the basis for a practical selection. Review these inputs alongside expected service intervals and the intended market.

Browse the range →

Passenger

Match tire dimensions and speed requirements to the vehicle and journey.

Light truck

Consider payload, road surface and seasonal conditions together.

Commercial

Evaluate axle position, load and fleet duty cycle before selection.

A connected process

From requirements to reviewable evidence

Engineer reviewing tire dimensions

Define the operating envelope

Capture platform, axle load, route and climate before comparing candidate constructions. An explicit envelope helps teams distinguish a product specification from an assumed fit.

Tire validation laboratory

Plan validation in stages

Agree on sample selection, test methods and acceptance criteria. Results should be interpreted against the stated load, speed and surface, not presented as a universal performance claim.
