What LFE805 Is Built For
LFE805 is a radial steer tyre designed for long-haul trucking on paved highways, where consistent handling, high-speed stability and low rolling resistance are critical. The S-shaped groove bottom reduces stone retention, helping to prevent casing damage from embedded debris. It is built for sustained highway use with a tread depth of 15.0 mm and a load index range from 152/148 to 158/150, covering most 6x2 and 8x2 tractor units. Six size and ply combinations are available, from 295/80R22.5 16PR to 315/80R22.5 22PR, with pressure and load data confirmed per the size table.

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Steer tyres with straight or V-shaped groove bottoms
The S-shaped groove bottom reduces stone retention, lowering the risk of casing damage from embedded aggregate
Compared With Tyres designed for mixed-surface or off-road use
LFE805 is optimized for paved highways; off-road patterns wear faster and increase fuel consumption on tarmac
Compared With Tyres with higher tread depth for extended casing life
A 15.0 mm tread depth is standard for long-haul steer tyres; deeper tread would increase rolling resistance and fuel use
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 9.00 for both 295/80R22.5 and 315/80R22.5 sizes
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Monitor tread wear and replace before the tread depth reaches 4.0 mm to maintain safety and performance
- Inspect groove bottoms for lodged stone after long highway runs to prevent casing damage
LFE805 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 295/80R22.5 or 315/80R22.5 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?
295/80R22.5 in 16PR, 18PR; 315/80R22.5 in 18PR, 20PR, 22PR. 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.
Is this tyre legal for high-speed use?
It carries speed symbols M (100 km/h) and L (120 km/h), which are standard for long-haul steer tyres. Confirm your national regulation before use.
