- UHP Tire
Linglong L688 UHP is an ultra high performance passenger car and light truck tyre designed for vehicles that demand strong grip and responsive steering under dynamic driving conditions. The tread pattern delivers consistent traction across dry, wet and light rain surfaces, with a focus on handling precision rather than long tread life.
What Linglong L688 UHP Is Built For
Linglong L688 UHP is an ultra high performance passenger car and light truck tyre designed for vehicles that demand strong grip and responsive steering under dynamic driving conditions. The tread pattern delivers consistent traction across dry, wet and light rain surfaces, with a focus on handling precision rather than long tread life. It is available in 25 sizes from 205/40ZR17 XL to 265/35ZR18 XL, with load indices from 84 to 103 and speed symbols W and Y. The tyre is built for vehicles with low profile and high load capacity requirements, including sport sedans, performance hatchbacks and light utility vehicles. Tread depth is 7.9 mm across all sizes, and the casing construction supports high-speed stability and cornering rigidity.
Manufacturer Feature Claims

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard performance tyres with lower speed symbols
L688 UHP offers higher speed capability and better grip under dynamic conditions, but may wear faster on long highway routes
Compared With Tyres with lower load indices
The 103 load index on the 255/45ZR18 XL supports 875 kg, which is critical for high-performance vehicles; lower index tyres may not meet load requirements
Compared With Tyres with deeper tread depth
While 7.9 mm is standard, deeper tread tyres may last longer but sacrifice grip and steering response in high-performance driving
Use Guide
- Match load index and speed symbol to your vehicle’s original equipment specification
- Use the standard rim size listed for each size to ensure proper fit and safety
- Inflate to the pressure shown in the size table for your load; underinflation reduces grip and increases wear
- Rotate tyres before irregular wear patterns develop, especially on vehicles with uneven load distribution
- Inspect tread for early wear or damage after high-speed driving or wet conditions to maintain performance
Linglong L688 UHP Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of L688 UHP typically fills at container weight rather than volume, so the practical minimum is one container. Mixed loads across sizes are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or needs to be produced. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation.
Which sizes are available?
25 sizes from 205/40ZR17 XL to 265/35ZR18 XL. Full load index, rim, pressure and diameter data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre legal for high-speed use?
Yes. It carries speed symbols W (up to 270 km/h) and Y (up to 300 km/h), which are required for high-speed legal operation in most markets.
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.
