This code describes a DRC-brand radial truck tire, likely designed for moderate loads and higher speeds. Here’s a breakdown of the information we can glean:

• Brand: DRC Tires
• Type: Truck Tire (possible applications include steer or all-position axles)
• Size:
  • Width: 9.00 inches

  • Rim Diameter: 20 inches
  • Radial Construction (indicated by the “R”)
• Ply Rating: 16PR – This is a mid-range ply rating, indicating the tire can handle moderate loads.
• Speed Rating: K – This is a speed rating for truck tires allowing a maximum speed of 81 mph (130 km/h).

Possible Applications (based on size and ply rating):

• Steer Axle: The 16PR ply rating suggests it could be a steer tire, responsible for steering the vehicle. However, without further information on the D911 model, it’s difficult to confirm.
