12.00-20-18PR 154/149K HO301 Onyx

The 12.00-20-18PR 154/149K HO301 Onyx is a heavy-duty radial tyre specifically designed for large commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses, and other high-load applications. Built to endure the most demanding conditions, this tyre offers excellent durability, load-bearing capacity, and reliable performance for both on-road and off-road environments. Here’s a detailed description of its features:

1. Size:
   • 12.00 refers to the width of the tyre in inches (12.00 inches).
   • 20 is the rim diameter in inches, indicating that this tyre fits 20-inch wheels.
   • 18PR denotes the tyre has 18 plies of construction, which increases its strength, durability, and load-carrying capacity. The higher ply rating is ideal for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
2. 18PR (18 Ply Rating):
   • The 18PR indicates the tyre’s construction strength, with 18 plies. The higher ply rating improves the tyre’s ability to carry heavy loads, resist wear, and withstand rough road conditions, making it suitable for demanding commercial applications.
3. Load Index (154/149):
   • The 154/149 load index specifies the maximum load capacity for the tyre in single and dual configurations:
     • 154 means that the tyre can carry up to 3,100 kg when used as a single tyre.
     • 149 means that the tyre can carry up to 2,900 kg when used as a dual tyre.
   • This high load index ensures that the tyre can handle the significant loads typically associated with 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 focus of this tyre is on load-bearing and durability, it is still suitable for use on highways and long-haul commercial routes within the speed limit.
5. Model (HO301 Onyx):
   • The HO301 Onyx is a high-performance tyre designed for commercial vehicles that need to perform reliably across different terrains. It’s engineered to provide stability, durability, and long-lasting performance in a variety of conditions, including highways, construction sites, and rough or unpaved roads.
6. Tread Design:
   • The tread pattern of the HO301 Onyx is designed to offer excellent traction and stability in a wide range of conditions. It ensures reliable grip on both paved roads and rugged off-road surfaces. The tyre’s deep tread grooves help with water evacuation, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and enhancing braking performance in wet conditions.
7. Construction:
   • The radial construction provides the tyre with improved durability, handling, and fuel efficiency, making it an ideal choice for commercial vehicles that require strong, reliable tyres for long-haul journeys and heavy-duty tasks. Radial construction helps improve the tyre’s performance under load while ensuring a smoother ride and longer tread life.

The 12.00-20-18PR 154/149K HO301 Onyx tyre is an excellent choice for large trucks, buses, and other heavy-duty vehicles that need a strong, durable tyre capable of supporting heavy loads over long distances. Its high ply rating, robust construction, and reliable tread design ensure performance and durability in both on-road and off-road conditions. This tyre is designed to provide commercial vehicles with the strength, stability, and performance they need in demanding environments.
