The mass of a truck can reach several tens of tons in running order. All this load falls on the tires, and the faster the truck moves, the more the rubber is put to the test. That is why you can not save on its regular replacement. Too much is at stake: not only driving comfort, but also the safety of the driver, load and others.
It is not necessary to spend tens of thousands of rubles on a tire to ensure the proper level of safety for the operation of a truck. Many manufacturers offer budget tire lines, and in this case, cheap does not mean bad at all. Such tires are produced by companies:
- Kama. The most popular Russian brand under which car tires have been produced since 1967. The products comply with European standards, which is confirmed by the company's TUV CERT certificate.
- triangle. Chinese manufacturer of passenger, truck and specialty tires since 1976.The brand's products are among the most affordable and popular in Russia.
- Ovation. And again a company from China, but younger than Triangle, since it was founded in 1995. The annual output exceeds 18 million tires.
- Cordiant. Russian brand under which tires for cars and trucks are produced. The truck series is referred to as "Cordiant Professional".
When choosing inexpensive rubber, pay attention not only to the price tag, but also to the parameters. Among them are speed and load indexes, seasonality and recommended position on the axle.

An excellent choice for equipping heavy trucks.
- Average price: from 20,000 rubles.
- Country: China
- Seasonality: summer
- Installation axis: leading
- Grade: D

Wide channels between the tread blocks remove moisture from the contact patch well and prevent the risk of aquaplaning at a relatively high speed. The rubber compound used for production resists wear, punctures and other external influences well.
- High load capacity
- Deep and tenacious tread

The model is equally well suited for movement both on smooth asphalt within the city and on dirt roads. It can be installed not only on trucks, but also on main buses, and all thanks to a long service life - up to 500 thousand kilometers.

Top 3. Cordiant Professional DR-1
Rubber belongs to class C, which surpasses competitors from the rating.
- Average price: from 22,000 rubles.
- Country Russia
- Seasonality: summer
- Installation axis: leading
- Grade: C
The Russian rubber Cordiant Professional DR-1 was developed taking into account the realities of the Russian climate. Copes well with driving loads both on motorways and on regional roads of not the best quality. The running part consists of many sipes and knife slots, due to which the car on such tires quickly moves off and has a short braking distance even on wet pavement. Special protrusions in the tread pattern reduce the risk of small stones getting stuck between the blocks, which means they protect the rubber from mechanical damage. Another feature is reinforced sidewalls for greater load capacity and tire protection.
- Adapted to the harsh climate of the Russian Federation
- High longitudinal grip
- Uneven wear resistance
- Price in the upper limit of the budget segment
Top 2. Ovation VI-111
Steering axle tire for high steering precision

- Seasonality: summer
- Installation axis: steering
- Grade: D
The Ovation VI-111 truck tire is capable of withstanding just over 2,000 kg of load per wheel, making it well suited to equipping commercial and utility vehicles. The running part of the tire is assembled from many small blocks with a zigzag shape of the longitudinal edges. Together, these design features reduce tire wear, increase tire efficiency during braking, including emergency braking, and therefore have a positive effect on truck driving safety. Tires from this series are designed to be installed exclusively on the steering axle, where their potential is fully revealed.
- Effective braking on wet roads
