Truck and Light Truck Tyres
Steer, drive and trailer fitments for work trucks, floats, heavy vans and trailers. Downtime costs you money, so we work to get you rolling again.
COMMERCIAL
Tyres That Have To Earn Their Keep
On a work truck, tyres are not a purchase, they are a running cost. The number that matters is cost per kilometre carried, and that is driven by casing quality, correct fitment for the axle position, and how well pressures are maintained.
Fitment by Axle Position
| POSITION | WHAT THE TYRE HAS TO DO | PATTERN CHARACTERISTICS |
|---|---|---|
| Steer | Directional stability, even wear, and resistance to irregular scrubbing. | Rib pattern, stiff shoulders, straight circumferential grooves. |
| Drive | Traction under load, especially on wet or loose surfaces. | Deeper lug or block pattern, open shoulders for bite. |
| Trailer | Load carrying, lateral stability, and resistance to scrubbing in turns. | Rib pattern, reinforced casing, high load index. |
| All-Position | Flexible fitment across axles on lighter trucks. | Compromise rib/block design. |
Keeping Commercial Tyre Costs Down
- Pressure discipline. A truck tyre run 10% under-inflated can lose 10–15% of its life and burn more fuel doing it.
- Regular rotation and axle swaps. Move tyres before wear becomes irregular, not after.
- Alignment on the steer axle. Misalignment on a heavy vehicle scrubs steering tyres out fast.
- Repair early. A small penetration repaired properly saves a casing. Left alone, it lets water in and ruins it.
- Match your duty cycle. Long-haul highway patterns and on/off-road patterns wear very differently, fit for what you actually do.

Truck Tyre Questions
Do you do on-site or mobile truck tyre work?
Yes, we do offer this service
How often should truck tyre pressures be checked?
Weekly at minimum for a working truck, and always before a long or heavily loaded run. Check them cold. Pressure is the single biggest controllable factor in commercial tyre cost.
Do you do on-site or mobile truck tyre work?
Yes, the business does this
Can a truck casing be retreaded?
Good-quality casings can often be retreaded, which is a major cost saving on a fleet. Whether a specific casing is suitable depends on its condition and history. Bring it in and we will assess it.
What load rating do I need?
It has to match or exceed the axle loading of your vehicle at full GVM. Fitting an under-rated tyre is both unsafe and an offence. Give us your vehicle details and we will get it right.
