The Yokohama Y524 in L-5 rating is built for operators who demand the absolute maximum from their loader tyres — in quarries, mines, port operations, and hard rock applications where lesser tyres simply don’t last. The extra-deep L-5 tread delivers up to 67% more tread depth than a standard L-3, meaning significantly longer service life in the most punishing conditions.
Product description
The Yokohama Y524 L-5 TL in size 26.5-25 24PR is a premium off-the-road (OTR) tyre designed for wheel loaders operating in severe rock, hard-pack, and abrasive surface conditions. The L-5 designation indicates the highest standard tread depth available in the loader tyre category — delivering exceptional resistance to cuts, chips, and punctures in environments where tyre damage and premature wear are constant operational risks.
At 24 ply rating (24PR), this tyre provides maximum carcass strength and load-carrying capacity, making it suitable for the heaviest loader applications in Australian quarrying, hard rock mining, port and bulk material handling, and civil construction. The tubeless (TL) construction eliminates the need for an inner tube, reducing heat build-up, simplifying maintenance, and lowering the risk of sudden deflation in the event of a puncture.
The Y524’s robust tread compound and deep block pattern are engineered to handle the lateral forces, tight turning, and continuous rock contact that destroys standard loader tyres — delivering longer intervals between tyre changes, lower cost per hour, and higher machine availability for your operation.
Key features
L-5 extra-deep tread depth
Up to 67% deeper tread than L-3 rated tyres — significantly extends tyre life in abrasive rock, quarry, and mine site conditions where rapid tread wear is the primary cost driver.
24 ply rating (24PR) carcass
Maximum carcass strength for heavy loader applications — supports high load indices and provides superior resistance to sidewall damage and impact breaks on hard rocky terrain.
Tubeless (TL) construction
Eliminates inner tube — reduces operating heat, simplifies tyre servicing, and lowers the risk of rapid deflation. Lower overall tyre assembly weight compared to tube-type equivalents.
Cut and chip resistant compound
Yokohama’s proprietary tread compound resists cutting and chipping on sharp rock faces and abrasive hard-pack surfaces — reducing tyre damage costs and unplanned downtime.
Deep block tread pattern
Robust block design provides excellent traction on loose rock, gravel, and broken ground while maintaining stability during tight loader turning cycles and bucket loading operations.
Lower cost per operating hour
Longer tread life and reduced downtime from tyre changes and puncture repairs delivers a lower total cost per hour compared to standard L-3 loader tyres in hard rock applications.

Frequently asked questions
What does L-5 mean on a loader tyre?
L-5 is an ETRTO/TRA tread depth classification for loader (L) tyres. It indicates extra-deep tread — approximately 67% deeper than the standard L-3 rating. L-5 tyres are specified for the most severe rock and abrasive surface conditions where maximum tread life and cut resistance are required. They are the highest standard tread depth available in the loader tyre category.
What is the difference between L-3, L-4, and L-5 loader tyres?
The L rating refers to tread depth relative to an L-2 baseline. L-3 is standard depth, suitable for general earthmoving. L-4 is deep tread for moderate rock conditions. L-5 is extra-deep tread — the choice for severe hard rock, quarry, and abrasive mine site work. As the L rating increases, tread life in rock applications increases significantly, though the tyres are heavier and slightly less fuel efficient.
What does 24PR mean?
PR stands for Ply Rating — a measure of the tyre’s carcass strength and load-carrying capacity. 24PR indicates a very high-strength carcass suitable for maximum load applications. Modern tyres use nylon or steel cord construction rather than actual cotton plies, but the PR rating remains the industry standard measure of carcass strength.
What does TL mean on an OTR tyre?
TL stands for Tubeless — the tyre is designed to operate without an inner tube. Tubeless OTR tyres run cooler, are easier to service, and reduce the risk of sudden deflation compared to tube-type (TT) equivalents. A compatible tubeless rim and valve assembly is required.
What machines does the 26.5-25 tyre size fit?
The 26.5-25 is a common size for medium-to-large wheel loaders including Caterpillar 966–980 series, Komatsu WA380–WA470, Volvo L120–L150, and Liebherr L550–L566 models. Always confirm the correct tyre size and load rating against your machine’s OEM specification plate before ordering.
Is the Yokohama Y524 suitable for Australian mine sites?
Yes. The Y524 L-5 is widely used on Australian hard rock gold, copper, and coal mining operations, as well as quarrying and port bulk handling applications. Its cut-resistant compound and extra-deep L-5 tread make it particularly suited to the abrasive conditions common in WA Goldfields, Queensland Bowen Basin, and Pilbara region operations.
How does the Y524 L-5 compare to an L-3 in terms of tyre life?
In hard rock and abrasive applications, the L-5’s extra tread depth can deliver significantly longer tyre life than an L-3 — tread wear is the primary cause of tyre replacement in rock loader applications. The higher initial cost of an L-5 tyre is typically recovered through longer service intervals and fewer tyre change events per operating hour. In some severe rock applications, the cost per hour of an L-5 can be considerably lower than an L-3 over the tyre’s full service life.
Can I order this tyre for delivery to a remote mine site or quarry?
Yes — we supply OTR tyres to mining operations, quarries, and civil construction sites across Australia including remote WA, Queensland, and NT locations. Contact us with your site details and required quantities for a delivered price and lead time estimate. We can also advise on companion tyres if you are replacing a full set.
