After presenting the new Linglong Dura Master Van tyre in spring, Linglong added two new summer van tyre ranges to its product portfolio: Crosswind and Leao.
New Linglong Van Tyres
With Linglong Dura Peak Van, Crosswind presents a summer tyre for vans and light commercial vehicles for the first time in Linglong’s product portfolio, while Leao represents the Nova-Force Van 2, the successor to the earlier Nova-Force Van tyre range.
Both tyres have been specially designed for vans, LCVs and motorhomes, with Linglong highlighting its mileage, low rolling resistance and optimised driving characteristics. Wider treads and tread patterns are designed to ensure even wear and high mileage, while the new tread compound has improved rolling resistance. The reinforced carcass helps improve load capacity and new sipe technology integrated into the tread pattern, combined with a silica tread compound, reduces the braking distance in wet conditions while improving handling in wet and dry conditions.
“With the new Crosswind and Leao van tyres, we are expanding our range in the field of light commercial vehicles and offering a high-performance solution for both businesses and private households,” says Wencheng Liu, Head of Product Management at Linglong Tire. “Both tyres combine high mileage with safety and efficiency – crucial factors for cost-conscious families and entrepreneurs who use their vehicles on a daily basis.”
The Crosswind Dura Peak Van and the Leao Nova-Force Van 2 are manufactured exclusively in the state-of-the-art Linglong tyre factory in Zrenjanin, Serbia. A total of 29 Dura Peak Van and 29 Nova-Force Van 2 sizes, from 12 to 17 inches, are available and can be ordered now.
The profiles were developed at the European Development Centre in Hanover, while the test drives took place on the European test track in Idiada, Spain and on the Group’s own Sino Asia test site in China.
At the end of 2026, new winter and all-season treads will complete the van tyre line-ups at both Crosswind and Leao Tire.
