Truck & Bus Radial Tyres for Road Transport
Long-haul freight and road transport place consistent, sustained demands on tyres that only a purpose-built truck tyre handles well. Semi-trailers and B-doubles covering thousands of kilometres under heavy loads need tyres specified to position, not just vehicle type.
Our truck tyres are matched to three axle positions, each with different performance priorities.
- Steer: Precise handling, even wear, and straight tracking under load
- Drive: Strong traction, scrub resistance, and grip on wet and unsealed surfaces
- Trailer: Low rolling resistance, high mileage, and load stability over long distances
Getting the right tyre in the right position reduces wear rates, lowers fuel consumption, and extends service intervals across the fleet. We provide truck tyres that match steer, drive, and trailer positions to your fleet’s haul cycle and operating conditions rather than fitting a single brand across the board.
Mining Truck Tyres for Site Transport
Mine site transport vehicles operate in conditions that standard road truck tyres aren’t built for. Sharp aggregate on haul roads, heavy, consistent loads, extreme heat, and surface debris all accelerate tyre wear and increase the risk of sidewall damage on tyres not reinforced for the environment.
OTR – Tyres Wheels Axles supplies mining-specific truck tyres built to meet the demands of site transport. Reinforced sidewalls, cut and chip-resistant compounds, and heat management suited to high-load cycles in Australia’s harshest operating environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which brands manufacture the best truck tyres?
Trusted TBR manufacturers include:
- TerraTyre
- Aeolus
- Toyo
- Continental
- BF Goodrich
- Kumho
- Michelin
- Pirelli
The best brand for your fleet depends on your application, axle position, and operating conditions rather than brand alone. An experienced tyre specialist can match the right manufacturer and model to your specific requirements.
What is the lifespan of a truck tyre?
A well-maintained TBR tyre on highway service typically reaches 150,000 to 250,000 km before requiring replacement or retreading. Lifespan varies by axle position, load, road surface, and maintenance. Steer tyres generally wear faster than trailer tyres, and mixed-surface or mine site conditions reduce mileage considerably.
Regardless of kilometres, tyres should be replaced after 10 years as rubber degradation increases blowout risk over time.
How to tell when truck tyres need to be replaced?
Australian law requires a minimum tread depth of 1.5mm, though most operators replace well before reaching that threshold. Watch for uneven wear, sidewall cuts or bulging, exposed cords, visible cracking, and stones lodged in the tread voids on mixed-surface applications. Any of these warrants immediate inspection and likely replacement regardless of remaining tread depth.
