Tire Warehouse in Edmonton switched to Forlander FR886 (11R22.5) and FR966 (255/70R22.5) commercial tires after challenges with competing brands. The Edmonton tire sale now features these models as top sellers. Results: 30% fewer roadside events, longer tread life, lower fuel consumption. The company plans to expand its Forlander inventory.
I. Client Background & Challenges
Tire Warehouse is a commercial truck tire supplier in Edmonton, Alberta. The company serves fleets across Western Canada. Edmonton’s climate has temperature swings and varied road conditions throughout the year—frozen highways in winter, rain and heat in other seasons. Fleets require tires that perform in these conditions and provide cost-effective mileage. Fleet managers seek an Edmonton tire sale that offers durability, fuel efficiency, and all-season capability.
Before switching to Forlander, Tire Warehouse faced these issues: customer complaints about grip and tread wear on competing brands; return rates from fleets operating on Edmonton’s roads; limited product options for long-haul highway performance and year-round durability; and dissatisfaction with fuel efficiency and total cost of ownership. These issues drove Tire Warehouse to look for another tire solution.
II. Edmonton tire sale Success: The Forlander Solution
Tire Warehouse began stocking Forlander commercial tires—the 11R22.5 FR886 for steer axle applications and the 255/70R22.5 FR966 as an all-position tire.
A. Forlander FR886 – Steer Tire
The 11R22.5 steer tires are for long-haul and regional trucks. Key specifications:
Ply Rating: 18PR ｜ Load Index: 149/146 ｜ Load Capacity: 3250/3000 kg ｜ Tread Depth: 15.0 mm
Tread slots provide grip and skid resistance on different road surfaces
Wider driving surface provides even contact pressure
Wider shoulders with transverse grooves reduce uneven wear
B. Forlander FR966 – All-Position Tire
The 255/70R22.5 steer tires are for long-haul and regional transport as an all-position tire. Key specifications:
Ply Rating: 16PR ｜ Load Index: 140/137 ｜ Load Capacity: 2500/2300 kg ｜ Tread Depth: 13.0 mm
Tread rib slots provide grip and skid resistance
Four-groove design provides stability across steer, drive, and trailer positions
Wider shoulders prevent irregular wear
III. Performance Results
After introducing Forlander tires, Tire Warehouse recorded:
30% reduction in tire-related roadside events
Longer tread life compared to competing brands
Higher driver satisfaction with handling and grip on highways and city roads
Lower fuel consumption reported by fleets using both models
More operational flexibility for fleets using the FR966 across all wheel positions
These results position Forlander as an option among commercial truck tires Canada fleets use.
V. The Future
Tire Warehouse plans to add more Forlander sizes and patterns for regional and long-haul applications. Based on the 11R22.5 steer tires and 255/70R22.5 steer tires, the partnership continues as Edmonton fleets use Forlander tires. The company is also looking at promotional programs for local fleets.
