Port Tyres Explained: L3 vs L5 for Heavy Equipment (Isuka Tires)

If you’re running a wheel loader in a quarry, construction site, or industrial yard, your tyres are doing the heavy lifting—literally. At Roda Land, we supply tough, reliable L3 and L5 loader tyres under the Isuka Tires brand, made to handle demanding jobs right here in Malaysia.

Let’s break down the difference between L3 and L5, and help you choose the right one for your loader.

What Does L3 and L5 Mean?

In tyre classifications, the “L” stands for Loader, and the number refers to tread depth and usage.

• L3 = Standard tread depth – good all-around performance

• L5 = Extra deep tread – built for harsh, abrasive ground

Both are made for wheel loaders, not trucks or graders.
