ZC Rubber Showcases Latest Westlake OTR Tyre Solutions at Hillhead 2026
Buxton, UK, June 2026 – Zhongce Rubber Group (ZC Rubber), in partnership with its UK distributor City 1st Tyres, showcased its latest range of WESTLAKE OTR tyres at Hillhead 2026, the UK’s largest exhibition for the quarrying, construction and recycling industries.
Held over three days, Hillhead brought together around 600 exhibitors and nearly 20,000 visitors, offering an important platform for industry professionals to explore the latest equipment, technologies and solutions for demanding off-the-road applications.
During the exhibition, the joint stand attracted strong attention from OTR end users, tyre service providers and customers from across the UK, Ireland and other European markets. Visitors showed particular interest in ZC Rubber’s heavy-duty tyre solutions for rigid dump trucks, articulated dump trucks, wheeled loaders, wheeled excavators, telescopic loaders and quarry-specific truck applications.
The company highlighted its latest range of OTR tyres, including the CB745, CB785, CB792, CB740 and CB763. Engineered for demanding off-the-road applications, these tyres are designed to deliver superior traction, enhanced damage resistance, and extended service life across wheeled loader and dump truck applications.
WESTLAKE CB745 L5 for Wheeled Loaders, is built for extreme operating conditions. Its non-directional tread pattern and robust, thicker tyre carcass help enhance load-bearing capacity, while groove-bottom rubber studs help prevent groove cracking and improve puncture resistance, extending overall service life.
WESTLAKE CB785 E4 for Rigid Dump Trucks, delivers stability and traction in severe off-road environments. Combining a deep E4 tread design, wear-, cut- and heat-resistant compounds, reinforced sidewalls and high-tensile steel wire construction, the CB785 ensures **ooth running, reliable performance and enhanced protection against cuts and punctures.
WESTLAKE CB792 E3/L3 (750/65 R 25), is engineered for soft and muddy terrain. Its alternating multi-edged block design offers excellent flotation and super traction. A deeper tread depth and additional protective sidewalls minimize cutting damage, while the robust casing improves retreading ability.
WESTLAKE CB740 E4/L4 for Articulated Dump Trucks, is designed for slippery and muddy road conditions. Featuring an E4 pattern that is 17% deeper than TRA standards, along with a multi-block pattern design, the tyre delivers reliable grip and enhanced durability. Corrosion-resistant carcass wire and advanced tear resistance further help reduce the overall cost of operation.
WESTLAKE CB763 E4 (33.25 R 29), is tailored specifically for 60-*** Articulated Dump Trucks. Featuring alternating multi-edged blocks, the tyre delivers superior flotation and strong traction on soft terrain. Built with an extra-deep E4/L4 tread depth and unique compounds, it offers extended wear life and high cut resistance.
John Ruddy, European OTR Tyre Sales Director of ZC Rubber, said, “Selecting the right OTR tyre is essential for improving equipment productivity and reducing downtime. Through our WESTLAKE OTR product portfolio, we are committed to providing application-specific tyre solutions that help customers improve efficiency, durability and overall operating value.”
