MAN trucks OE equipped with Linglong tyres

Linglong Tire has provided further details of its original equipment partnership with MAN Truck & Bus, which it first announced at The Tire Cologne in May. The world’s 12th largest tyre maker will equip the MAN TGL with the Linglong KLS200 steer axle tyres and KLD200 drive axle tyres in sizes 245/70 R17.5 136/134M and 265/70 R17.5 140/138M.

“The tyres are ideally designed and developed for mixed use, regional transport, motorway use as well as inner city conditions,” states Linglong, adding that both patterns are designated 3PMSF for winter use. “With the newly emerging production facility in Serbia, Linglong plans to expand its supply portfolio for 17.5-inch tyres in the KLS200 and KLD200 patterns.” Linglong further said that the upcoming plant in Serbia will be “key to the company’s success” in Europe.
