Construction & Industrial Tyres – FAQs
Which tyre is best for my loader, excavator, or forklift?
The best tyre depends on machine type, load cycles, and terrain. Loader tyres require strong sidewalls and deep treads for high breakout forces, while excavator tyres benefit from stability and resistance to cuts during digging operations. Forklift tyres prioritise load-bearing capacity and wear resistance for repetitive lifting tasks. Choosing equipment-specific designs ensures safer, more efficient performance.
What is the difference between radial tyres and diagonal (bias) tyres?
Radial tyres feature a flexible casing design and steel-belt construction that enhance heat dissipation, stability, and tread contact—ideal for long cycles and higher speeds. Bias tyres have criss-cross ply layers offering excellent impact resistance and sidewall strength for harsh and abrasive terrains. Each tire construction type suits different worksite conditions.
How long do construction tyres last?
Tyre life for construction equipment tyres depends on load cycles, terrain abrasiveness, operating temperatures, and maintenance practices. Using correct inflation, rotation schedules, and surface-appropriate patterns helps maximise service hours and prevent premature wear.
Can TVS tyres be retreaded?
Yes, our retreadable tyres are developed with robust casing and bead structures to support safe and reliable retread cycles, helping reduce total cost of ownership and extending tyre life.
What features improve tyre durability on harsh worksites?
Deeper tread patterns, reinforced sidewalls, heat-resistant compounds, cut-resistant rubber, and precision bead construction improve durability. These features protect against punctures, tearing, and structural fatigue under heavy loads.
How do I choose tyres based on terrain?
Soft surfaces require wider tread footprints and flotation-based grip, while hard, abrasive surfaces demand deep lugs and cut-resistant compounds. Understanding traction requirements, machine load, and cycle frequency ensures the right tyre choice.
What reduces tyre damage in construction sites?
Maintaining correct inflation, avoiding overloading, using radial construction tyres for extended cycles, and conducting regular inspections significantly reduce damage from sharp debris, uneven surfaces, and excessive heat buildup.
