The drive axle is the workhorse of any commercial vehicle — it transmits engine power to the road, handles the heaviest loads, and must perform reliably across thousands of kilometres of varied road conditions. Choosing the right drive axle tyre is one of the most important decisions a fleet manager can make, and the Wellplus Power D is engineered to make that decision straightforward.
Power D Technical Specifications
The Wellplus Power D is designed for regional and long-haul drive axle applications. Key engineering features include:
- Deep lug tread pattern — provides the traction needed for loaded drive axle operation across all road surfaces
- Reinforced shoulder blocks — resist the lateral forces experienced during cornering under load
- All-weather traction compound — maintains grip in wet and cold conditions typical of Irish winters
- Optimised void ratio — balances traction and wear life for maximum cost-per-kilometre efficiency
Performance in Irish Conditions
Irish fleet operators running the Power D report consistent drive axle mileage of 130,000–150,000km under mixed regional and long-haul conditions. This performance, combined with the Power D’s competitive price point, delivers a cost-per-kilometre that is difficult to match in its class.
Available Sizes
The Power D is available in all major commercial drive axle sizes, including 295/80R22.5, 315/80R22.5, 315/70R22.5, and 11R22.5. Contact us to confirm availability in your required size.
