Invovic FM750

This is a drive-axle tire for a truck that mixes regional running with highway miles. The FM750 is the traction side of Invovic’s drive lineup: an open-shoulder pattern built to put torque down on wet pavement, where a closed-shoulder rib drive is built to hold a straight line and wear slow. We quote it in 11R22.5, 11R24.5 and 295/75R22.5, all in 16-ply Load Range H, with 27/32 inch of tread in every size.

The tread is five rows — two notched shoulder ribs and three block columns — separated by four continuous circumferential grooves. The notches give the shoulder rib biting edges that a continuous rib does not have, and the three block columns do the same across the middle of the contact patch. The four grooves carry water out from under the tread, and stone ejector platforms sit in them to push trapped rock back out; protecting the casing is the purpose the supplier states for them across this line. Tread depth is 27/32, which is mid-pack for a drive tire, not extra-deep. The casing is standard FMVSS 119 truck-and-bus radial construction, molded in Cambodia. Invovic publishes no data book and no US spec site, so everything on this page comes off the supplier spec sheet and the factory tread render, and nothing beyond that gets claimed. We publish no overall diameter, section width, revs per mile or approved rim widths for the Invovic line — figures we have not re-checked against the sheet are left off rather than guessed.

Drive axle only. No steer or all-position rating is published for the FM750, and an open-shoulder block pattern on a steer axle is an irregular-wear and handling problem, so it is not a substitute for the FM303. It is not a winter tire: no M+S branding and no Three Peak Mountain Snowflake marking is published, so do not put it against a severe-snow requirement. There is no published on/off-road or mixed-service rating either, so it does not belong on construction, pit or logging work. It is not EPA SmartWay verified — neither Invovic nor the Firemax group appears on the EPA verified low-rolling-resistance list — and no CARB statement exists, so it will not clear a fleet spec that names either. No mileage, workmanship or casing warranty is published and no retread pattern is matched to the casing, so it does not fit a program built on casing credits. It comes in 11R22.5, 11R24.5 and 295/75R22.5. A 285/75R24.5 drive axle takes a different brand — tell us the size and we will put one on the quote. If your miles are almost all interstate, look at the closed-shoulder FM770 — same casing family, continuous shoulder ribs instead of open blocks.

The benchmark in this position is the Yokohama 715R, an open-shoulder drive we quote in all four sizes, Load Range H, 26/32 tread. Here is what the 715R carries on paper that the FM750 does not. Yokohama publishes it as meeting the industry’s required performance criteria for severe snow service, and prints the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol on the product bulletin. The EPA verified low-rolling-resistance list names the 715R as SmartWay verified in all four of those sizes in Load Range H. It is backed by a seven-year unlimited-retread casing warranty — the casing, not the tread. The standard limited warranty covers the original usable tread to 2/32 inch and no more than five years from purchase; the casing warranty takes over after the first retread, which Yokohama requires be done in a manner consistent with standard industry practice. Yokohama’s line book also publishes the dimensional data — overall diameter, overall width, revs per mile, measuring and alternate rims — that we do not publish for the FM750. Yokohama states the 715R is not designed for long-haul operation, so read that against your route. If your spec sheet names SmartWay verification, severe-snow service or a casing warranty, the FM750 cannot answer it and the 715R can. Otherwise the two do the same drive-axle job in the three sizes they share, on the same 16-ply Load Range H rating and the same service description in each. Put both on one quote and compare the two delivered numbers — tires, delivery, tax and the state tire fee, free delivery within 25 miles of Bakersfield and delivered pricing nationwide. Mounting and balancing is the local truck tire shop’s work, billed by them at their rate per position. We do not predict any of those numbers on this page; the delivered figure comes back from us.
