Uniroyal introduces LD10 long-haul drive tire

Michelin North America’s Uniroyal brand has announced the addition of the Uniroyal LD10 for commercial trucks, a SmartWay-verified long-haul drive tire. The Uniroyal LD10 is available in two sizes, 275/80R22.5 with load range G and 11R22.5 with load range H.

“We continue to expand the Uniroyal portfolio to meet the needs of our owner-operator and fleet customers,” said Darlene Shepherd, business segment manager for Uniroyal Commercial Truck Tires. “This addition allows Uniroyal to now offer a total SmartWay-verified long-haul solution—with the LS24 steer tire, LD10 drive tire and LT40 trailer tire. This is what our customers have been asking for.”

According to the company, the Uniroyal LD10 has an enhanced fuel-efficient compound designed for long, even wear, and three strategic features—pyramidal steel belts, insulating belt edge strips and a heavy-gauge inner liner—work together to reduce stress, promote endurance and protect the tire’s casing. Uniroyal commercial truck tires are backed by a four-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.
