Benefits and application

This tyre + tube set is perfectly suited for wheelbarrows that are regularly used with medium loads in commercial or private environments. The V-5501A tread pattern offers a good balance between rolling resistance and grip, making the tyre suitable for both paved surfaces and firm, unpaved ground.

The 4PR construction provides robust sidewalls and higher resistance to impacts and pinch flats compared to light 2PR tyres. As a TT version (with tube), the tyre is easy to mount and, in case of service, simple to repair or to replace the tube. The TR13 valve is a common valve type for wheelbarrow wheels and allows easy inflation to the recommended tyre pressure of 2.5 bar. With a maximum speed of 16 km/h, the tyre is specifically designed for hand-guided or slow-moving transport equipment.

Explanation of technical terms

• TT (Tube Type): Tyre construction that always requires a separate inner tube. The tube provides the air seal inside the tyre.
• PR (Ply Rating): “Ply Rating” indicates the load capacity class of the tyre. A higher PR value (e.g. 4PR) stands for a more robust construction and higher load capacity compared to lower values.
• Rim size: Indicates the rim diameter in inches on which the tyre is mounted (here 8 inch).
• Valve type TR13: Standard valve for many small tyres (e.g. wheelbarrows), cylindrical shape, suitable for inflation with common air pumps.
• Max. speed: The maximum permissible speed at which the tyre may be used (here 16 km/h) to ensure safety and service life.
• Tyre pressure: Recommended operating pressure in bar. The correct pressure (here 2.5 bar) is important for load capacity, ride comfort and wear.
