10.00R20-18PR 149/146K HO301 Onyx

The 10.00R20-18PR 149/146K HO301 Onyx is a heavy-duty radial tyre designed for large commercial vehicles, such as trucks, buses, and other high-load applications. It is specifically built to provide excellent performance in both on-road and off-road conditions. Here’s a detailed description of its features:

1. Size:
   • 10.00 refers to the width of the tyre in inches (10.00 inches).
   • R20 indicates that the tyre is designed to fit 20-inch wheels and has a radial construction.
2. 18PR (18 Ply Rating):
   • The “18PR” indicates that the tyre has 18 plies in its construction. The high ply rating offers enhanced strength, durability, and load-carrying capacity, making the tyre suitable for heavy-duty applications like commercial trucks, buses, and other large vehicles that need to handle substantial loads.
3. Load Index (149/146):
   • The 149/146 load index provides the maximum load capacity for the tyre in both single and dual configurations:
     • 149 means that the tyre can carry up to 3,600 kg when used as a single tyre.
     • 146 means that the tyre can carry up to 3,400 kg when used as a dual tyre.
   • This high load index ensures the tyre can support the heavy loads typically encountered by commercial vehicles.
4. Speed Rating (K):
   • The “K” speed rating indicates that the tyre is rated for a maximum speed of 110 km/h (68 mph). While the speed is relatively moderate, the focus of this tyre is more on load-bearing capacity and durability rather than high-speed performance.
5. Model (HO301 Onyx):
   • The HO301 Onyx is designed for commercial vehicles that require robust performance, with an emphasis on safety, stability, and longevity. It’s engineered to handle a range of road conditions, including highways, off-road terrains, and construction sites.
6. Tread Design:
   • The tread pattern is designed to offer optimal traction, stability, and wear resistance in both on-road and off-road environments. It is specifically engineered to handle the demands of commercial vehicles that frequently operate on rough, uneven surfaces while maintaining road grip and traction on highways.
7. Construction:
   • The radial construction of the tyre provides a balanced combination of durability, handling, and comfort, ensuring stability under heavy loads and enhancing the tyre’s lifespan.

This 10.00R20-18PR 149/146K HO301 Onyx tyre is an excellent choice for large commercial vehicles that need to carry heavy loads over long distances, whether on highways or rugged roads. Its robust construction, high ply rating, and load-bearing capabilities make it ideal for trucks, buses, and other heavy-duty vehicles in demanding environments.
