Truck Trailer Tyres
High Load, Maximum Reliability.

Role of Truck Trailer in the industry

A truck trailer is a load-carrying platform used across regional and long-haul transport to move goods within diversified logistics chains, supporting dry van trailers, Flatbed trailers, Refrigerated trailers (Reefers), Tanker trailers, Tipper trailers, Lowboy trailers and Livestock trailers. As these trailers operate under varying payloads, road conditions and duty cycles, correct tyre selection is essential for safety, efficiency and operating stability. Trailer-specific tyres such as the RG31 deliver the load capacity, tread reliability and rolling consistency required for long operational hours across mixed national and international routes.

Types of Tyres Used in Truck Trailer Operations

Trailers fitted with Truck Trailer Tyres require axle-specific constructions that manage high vertical loads, lateral scrub in tight yards and sustained high-speed running on highways. Different trailer types impose unique requirements: dry vans benefit from low-rolling-resistance patterns for fuel efficiency, Flatbeds demand reinforced casings for load stability, Reefers require tyres that maintain predictable handling under temperature-controlled cargo, Tanker and Tipper trailers need stable footprints to counter shifting loads, Lowboys depend on high load ratings for oversized cargo and Livestock trailers require consistent grip and durability under uneven load distribution. Across all categories, the tyre must maintain structural integrity and predictable behaviour under variable weight distribution.

Tyre Requirements for Reliable Performance

Trailer tyres must provide strong load-carrying capability, controlled heat generation and reliable tracking at highway speeds. They require reinforced sidewalls to resist lateral scrub in terminals, compounds that deliver long wear life under mixed braking conditions and tread structures that ensure stability across both dry and wet surfaces. Even pressure distribution, reduced rolling resistance and consistent traction support operational efficiency, minimise downtime and protect the cargo and vehicle throughout long-haul or regional operations.
