LDV Deliver 9 Tyres

A loaded Deliver 9 is a heavy vehicle, so its tyres are working equipment that must carry the placard load every day. Choose on load rating first, then on tread life and the routes you run.

Pick a tyre for your routes

• High-kilometre couriers save money with a long-wearing commercial pattern. Browse light commercial tyres.
• Urban stop-start work needs strong sidewalls for kerb strikes. Van tyres such as the Bridgestone Duravis van range and Michelin Agilis are made for it.
• Minibus and fit-out vans carry extra weight from passengers or shelving, so check the load index carefully.
• Lower-cost options from Kumho are worth comparing on tread life as well as price.
• Motorhome conversions may sit still for long periods, so check the tyre date code as well as tread.

Before you buy

• Two load figures. The sidewall shows a single and a dual figure. Meet or exceed both on the placard.
• Single or dual rear tyres. Confirm your configuration before you order.
• Body configuration. Deliver 9 versions differ in mass, so use your own placard.
• Speed symbol. Match the placard, even on local routes.
• Tread pattern. Highway-biased van patterns suit long routes, while blockier treads suit mixed site work.

Finding the right size

The size sits on each tyre's sidewall and on the vehicle placard. A rego search narrows the list, and you should bring the placard details if the van has been converted.

Fleet care tips

• Check pressures weekly with the van cold, because under-inflation ruins commercial tyres fastest.
• Rotate at each service to even out wear across the axles.
• Record tread depth at every service so you can plan replacements before a breakdown.
• Keep the spare inflated and check it at each service.

Each Deliver 9 tyre price covers fitting, balancing, a new tubeless valve, disposal of the old tyre and GST. Your nearest Bob Jane T-Marts can quote a full fleet set.

Common questions

Can I use ute tyres on a Deliver 9?

Only if they meet the placard size, load index and speed rating. Most van placards call for commercial (C) tyres, so check first.

When are van tyres worn out?

Replace them before the tread reaches the wear indicator bars, which sit at about 1.6 mm, just above the 1.5 mm legal minimum. Busy fleets often replace earlier to keep wet grip strong.

How often should fleet vans have tyres checked?

A quick check at every service suits most fleets. High-kilometre vans also benefit from a monthly pressure and tread check.
