LFL185-New is a radial regional steer tyre designed for long-haul and regional delivery trucks that operate on paved roads with occasional access to unsealed or gravel surfaces. The tread pattern features optimized shoulder geometry and balanced block distribution to improve steering response and reduce uneven wear.
What LFL185-New Is Built For
LFL185-New is a radial regional steer tyre designed for long-haul and regional delivery trucks that operate on paved roads with occasional access to unsealed or gravel surfaces. The tread pattern features optimized shoulder geometry and balanced block distribution to improve steering response and reduce uneven wear. Four straight grooves combined with an S-type variable angle groove design enhance self-cleaning performance and maintain grip in wet or muddy conditions. The tyre uses ultra strong skeleton materials to support safety under sustained loads, and a new wear-resistant compound increases tread life by more than 20% compared to previous versions.

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard regional steer tyres without optimized shoulder and block design
LFL185-New reduces uneven wear and improves steering response due to balanced block distribution and shoulder optimization
Compared With Tyres with basic groove design and no variable angle features
The S-type variable angle groove improves self-cleaning and wet grip, reducing hydroplaning risk on wet or muddy surfaces
Compared With Tyres without ultra strong skeleton materials
LFL185-New maintains structural integrity under sustained regional loads, reducing casing failure risk
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest available rating – overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 8.25 for 11R22.5, 9.00 for 12R22.5, 295/80R22.5 and 315/80R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Monitor tread wear regularly, especially on high-mileage regional routes, to ensure even wear across the tread
- Inspect grooves for debris after driving on muddy or gravel surfaces to maintain self-cleaning performance
LFL185-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11R22.5 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?
11R22.5 in 16PR, 12R22.5 in 16PR and 18PR, 295/80R22.5 in 16PR and 18PR, and 315/80R22.5 in 18PR and 20PR. 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 suitable for off-road use?
It is designed for regional and paved road use. It is not intended for off-road or severe off-road duty.
