I. Client Background
Our client operates a mid-sized logistics and heavy cargo transport fleet based in Peshawar, Pakistan. Their trucks regularly traverse some of the country’s most challenging routes, including the mountainous northern regions and overloaded highways, where tire failure is a frequent and costly issue. These conditions make reliable heavy duty light truck tire essential for their operations.
II. Previous Challenges
Before switching to Forlander, the fleet faced constant operational hurdles. Standard tires consistently failed under super-load conditions common on Pakistani routes. The combination of mountainous terrain, rough roads, and heavy payloads led to frequent blowouts, premature tread wear, and excessive downtime. The cost of frequent replacements and lost revenue from immobilized trucks was severely impacting their profitability and reliability.
III. The Forlander Tire Solution
To address these specific challenges, the fleet manager chose the Forlander FD100Z E-3 Off-Road Bias Tire. This bias light truck tire was selected for its reinforced heavy-duty structure and cross-country lug tread pattern, engineered explicitly for severe service. Key sizes deployed in their light and medium-duty trucks included the 7.50 16 tire and 7.00 16 tire in the FD100Z lug pattern, chosen for their enhanced traction and durability.
