LAU802 is a radial bus tyre designed for urban transit fleets that operate on paved city routes with frequent stops, high axle loads, and repeated kerb contact. The tyre is built for all positions on the bus—front, drive, and trailer axles—where consistent handling, long tread life, and resistance to sidewall damage are critical.
What LAU802 Is Built For
LAU802 is a radial bus tyre designed for urban transit fleets that operate on paved city routes with frequent stops, high axle loads, and repeated kerb contact. The tyre is built for all positions on the bus—front, drive, and trailer axles—where consistent handling, long tread life, and resistance to sidewall damage are critical. It features an enhanced sidewall construction to reduce the risk of impact damage from curbs and potholes, which is common in dense urban environments. The tread pattern is optimized for wet grip and even wear under stop-start duty, with a nominal tread depth of 19.0 to 20.0 mm across sizes. It is supplied in seven sizes from 11R22.5 to 295/80R22.5, with ply ratings of 16 and 18, and load indices up to 154/150, supporting dual and single fitments at pressures from 800 to 900 kPa.

Problems It Solves
- Sidewall damage from repeated kerb contact shortens casing life on urban buses
- Frequent tyre replacement due to uneven wear or early tread loss increases operating cost
- Inconsistent performance across front, drive, and trailer axles leads to mismatched wear and handling
- Lack of a single pattern that fits all axle positions increases inventory complexity and ordering effort
- Inadequate load capacity or pressure ratings cause underperformance or safety risks in high-load urban service

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Tyres designed for long-haul highway service
LAU802 prioritizes sidewall strength and wet grip over rolling resistance and highway mileage; highway tyres wear faster in urban stop-start duty
Compared With Tyres with standard sidewall construction
The enhanced sidewall reduces damage from kerb contact and potholes, extending casing life in high-impact urban environments
Compared With Tyres with lower load index or pressure ratings
LAU802 supports higher load and pressure ratings, reducing risk of under-inflation and overloading in urban service
Use Guide
- Match ply rating and load index to your actual axle load and rim width; overspecifying increases cost and ride harshness
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 7.50 for 255/70R22.5, 8.25 for 11R22.5 and 275/70R22.5, 9.00 for 305/70R22.5 and 295/80R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate tyres before irregular wear sets in, especially on fleets with one-way loading patterns
- Inspect sidewalls after every shift for bruising or cuts, particularly in high-traffic urban zones
LAU802 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11R22.5 or 295/80R22.5 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?
11R22.5 in 16PR, 255/70R22.5 in 16PR, 275/70R22.5 in 16PR, 305/70R22.5 in 16PR, 295/80R22.5 in 16PR and 18PR. Full load index, rim, and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre suitable for all positions on a bus?
Yes. The LAU802 is designed for all positions—front, drive, and trailer axles—on urban buses.
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.
