LFL827 is a radial truck tyre designed for steer and trailer axles in regional distribution and light to medium-duty transport. It uses new technology to reduce weight, which helps lower fuel consumption and improves handling. The tread pattern is engineered to reduce eccentric wear, extending casing life and reducing the need for early replacements.
What LFL827 Is Built For
LFL827 is a radial truck tyre designed for steer and trailer axles in regional distribution and light to medium-duty transport. It uses new technology to reduce weight, which helps lower fuel consumption and improves handling. The tread pattern is engineered to reduce eccentric wear, extending casing life and reducing the need for early replacements. It is suitable for vehicles operating on paved roads with occasional off-road exposure, such as delivery vans, regional haulers and service trucks. The tyre is available in eight sizes across 16, 18 and 20 ply ratings, with load indices from 152/148 to 160 and speed symbols from J to L.
Manufacturer Feature Claims

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With General-purpose steer tyres without low eccentric wear technology
LFL827 reduces irregular wear and extends casing life on steer and trailer axles
Compared With Heavier radial tyres without weight-reduction technology
LFL827 improves fuel efficiency and handling due to lower weight
Compared With Tyres with higher speed symbols but no regional duty optimisation
LFL827 balances performance for regional use over high-speed highway duty
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load and rim width, not to the highest available
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 9.00 for 12R22.5, 295/80R22.5 and 315/80R22.5; 11.75 for 385/65R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Monitor tread wear regularly to detect eccentric patterns early and avoid premature casing loss
- Use the correct pressure and load for your axle position to maintain handling and fuel efficiency
LFL827 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 12R22.5 or 385/65R22.5 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?
12R22.5 in 16PR and 18PR, 295/80R22.5 in 16PR and 18PR, 315/80R22.5 in 18PR and 20PR, and 385/65R22.5 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 trailer axles?
Yes. LFL827 is designed for both steer and trailer axle applications in regional transport.
