About Armstrong TRU-TRAC HT LT285/75R16 126/123R

The TRU-TRAC HT is Armstrong's highway-terrain tyre for light trucks and 4x4 applications. Its design is focused on highway stability, towing capability, traction and controlled road noise. Armstrong states that the optimized curved tread profile increases tyre rigidity and reduces rolling resistance, while the shoulder noise-blocking bar is designed to reduce traction noise and premature wear. 

285/75 R16 Tyre Size

The LT285/75R16 designation indicates a nominal section width of 285 mm, a 75-series profile, radial construction and compatibility with a 16-inch wheel. The LT designation identifies the tyre as a Light Truck application.

126/123R Load and Speed Rating

The 126/123 load rating provides different maximum loads depending on single or dual-wheel application. The Armstrong specification lists a maximum single load of 1,700 kg and maximum dual load of 1,550 kg. The R speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 170 km/h. 

10-Ply Load Range E Construction

The LT285/75R16 version is listed with a 10-ply rating, commonly associated with Load Range E. It is designed for higher-load light-truck applications and is specified for operation up to 80 psi maximum inflation pressure.

Highway-Terrain Design

The TRU-TRAC HT is categorized by Armstrong as Highway Terrain. Its tread design is engineered for highway driving and increased towing ability, making it suitable for pickups, light trucks and 4x4 vehicles that spend substantial time on paved roads. 

Traction and Stability

Armstrong specifies continuous open lateral channels intended to increase grip under skidding conditions. The optimized curved tread profile is also designed to increase tyre rigidity, supporting stable road behaviour. 

Road Noise and Wear

A noise-blocking bar is incorporated into the shoulder area to help reduce road traction noise and delay premature wear. This makes the TRU-TRAC HT suited to drivers seeking a highway-oriented light-truck tyre with controlled road manners. 

All-Season and M+S Specification

Armstrong lists the TRU-TRAC HT as an all-season tyre with M+S designation and UTQG 740 A A. It is intended for year-round road use, but M+S designation alone should not be interpreted as equivalent to a severe-snow 3PMSF certification. 2024 Product Specification

The requested product is specified as a 2024 model. Armstrong's 2024 product catalogue includes the LT285/75R16 126/123R specification under the TRU-TRAC HT range.
