Vaculug has added a fresh truck-tyre family, ZEXY, to its line-up after unveiling the range at June’s Road Transport Expo. The launch meets growing fleet demand for tyres that cope with changing road types without sacrificing tread life or safety.
▪ Eight patterns: DL, DM, SA, SL, TA, TA1, TM, TX, covering steer, drive and trailer positions
▪ Sizes from 315/70R22.5 to 315/80R22.5 today, with further fitments due later this year
▪ Focus on mileage: compound formulation aims to slow uneven wear and extend replacement intervals (ZEXY DL)
▪ Wet-grip features such as wide drainage grooves (ZEXY SA) for regional haul routes
▪ On/Off-road tread (ZEXY TM) designed to resist stone retention on construction or quarry approaches

Fleet trials begin this summer and Vaculug says retreadable casings remain central to the offer, supporting lower whole-life cost strategies.
