LAU605 is a radial bus tyre designed for small buses operating in urban and coach environments, covering all axle positions. The extra wide tread design promotes high mileage and even wear across varied city and intercity routes. Zig-zag grooves enhance handling stability under load, while the optimized structure supports consistent performance on mixed road surfaces.
What LAU605 Is Built For
LAU605 is a radial bus tyre designed for small buses operating in urban and coach environments, covering all axle positions. The extra wide tread design promotes high mileage and even wear across varied city and intercity routes. Zig-zag grooves enhance handling stability under load, while the optimized structure supports consistent performance on mixed road surfaces. Available in 18 sizes from 6.00R15LT to 235/75R17.5, with ply ratings from 8 to 18 and load indices up to 143/141, it meets the demands of fleets running frequent stops, sharp turns and long-distance service. Tread depths range from 10.5 mm to 14.5 mm, with standard rims from 4.50E to 6.75, and pressure settings from 460 kPa to 875 kPa depending on load and fitment.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Extra wide tread design for high mileage and even wear
- Zig-zag grooves for excellent handling
- Optimize structure design
Key Benefits
- Extra wide tread design extends tread life and reduces irregular wear on urban stop-start routes
- Zig-zag groove pattern improves handling and directional stability during cornering and braking
- Optimized internal structure supports consistent performance across all axle positions
- Multiple ply ratings and load indices from 8 to 18 allow matching to vehicle axle load and service type
- Tread depth from 10.5 mm to 14.5 mm provides long service life on mixed urban and highway use
Problems It Solves
- Using different tyres for front, rear and drive axles increases stock complexity and fitting time
- Tyres with narrow treads wear unevenly on stop-start urban routes, reducing mileage
- Poor handling in wet or sharp turns due to inadequate groove design leads to safety risks
- Mismatched ply rating or load index causes early casing failure under heavy axle loads
- Lack of a single pattern for all positions forces multiple SKUs and higher inventory costs
Who It Is For
- Bus fleet operators managing small urban and coach vehicles across Asia, Africa, South America and Europe
- Tyre distributors supplying mixed-size orders to municipal transit agencies and private coaches
- Importers sourcing a single pattern for all bus positions to reduce stock complexity
- Fleets requiring a tyre that performs consistently on both city streets and highway stretches
- Contractors bidding on government tenders for public transport vehicle procurement
Application Scenarios
- Small city buses running frequent stops and sharp turns in dense urban traffic
- Coach services operating on intercity routes with mixed pavement and occasional gravel access roads
- Fleets managing multiple bus types with shared tyre inventory across front, rear and drive axles
- Operators needing consistent tread wear and handling performance across a mixed-size fleet
- Urban transit authorities replacing tyres with a single pattern that covers all axle positions
Technical Features
- Extra wide tread design for extended tread life and even wear distribution
- Zig-zag groove pattern enhances wet grip and directional stability during braking and cornering
- Optimized casing structure improves load support and reduces internal heat build-up
- Tread depth ranges from 10.5 mm to 14.5 mm depending on size, with higher depths for larger buses
- Multiple standard rim sizes from 4.50E to 6.75 ensure correct fitment across different wheel types

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Tyres designed for only front or rear axle positions
LAU605 covers all positions, reducing stock and fitting complexity for fleets with mixed bus types
Compared With Tyres with narrower tread widths
The extra wide tread design extends service life and reduces irregular wear on stop-start urban routes
Compared With Tyres without zig-zag groove patterns
Zig-zag grooves improve handling and directional stability during braking and cornering
Use Guide
- Match ply rating and load index to actual axle load, not to the highest available rating
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 4.50E for 6.00R15LT, 6.00G for 7.50R15LT, 6.50H for 8.25R16LT, 7.50 for 245/70R17.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate tyres between positions before irregular wear sets in, especially on fleets with one-way loads
- Inspect tread depth and groove bottoms regularly to monitor wear and prevent casing exposure
LAU605 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 245/70R17.5 or 8R22.5 typically fills at container weight rather than volume, so the practical minimum is one container. Mixed loads across sizes and patterns are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or has to be produced. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation rather than quoting a standard figure.
Which sizes are available?
18 sizes: 6.00R15LT, 7.50R15LT, 6.50R16LT, 7.00R16LT, 7.50R16LT, 8.25R16LT, 8R22.5, 245/70R17.5, 215/75R17.5, 235/75R17.5. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us the import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on that size before you place the order.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled by us directly. Cargo transportation insurance is provided on the shipment itself.
Can you ship a mixed container with other patterns?
Yes. Most of our customers load one container across several patterns and sizes, which is the main reason to buy through us rather than from a single plant.
What is the tread depth for the 245/70R17.5 18PR size?
The tread depth is 14.5 mm for the 245/70R17.5 18PR size.
