What LL19-Bias Is Built For
LL19-Bias is a bias light truck tyre designed for light commercial vehicles and utility trucks that operate on mixed urban and rural routes. The tread pattern delivers consistent wear across varied surfaces, with a focus on heat management and noise reduction during prolonged use. It is built for vehicles requiring a durable, low-maintenance tyre with a balanced performance profile. The 5.50-13LT size is rated for 8 ply and carries a load index of 88/84 at speed symbol K, suitable for light-duty transport and delivery fleets.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Good wear resistance
- Good heat dissipation
- Low noise
- Fuel saving
Key Benefits
- Good wear resistance extends casing life on mixed urban and rural routes
- Good heat dissipation helps prevent overheating during long or continuous runs
- Low noise improves driver comfort on city and highway segments
- Fuel saving performance supported by consistent rolling resistance
- Single size 5.50-13LT with 8 ply rating covers most light truck applications
Problems It Solves
- Bias tyres failing early due to poor heat management on long city runs
- Excessive noise from tyres on urban routes affecting driver comfort and compliance
- Inconsistent wear on mixed surfaces leading to premature casing loss
- Lack of fuel efficiency in older tyre designs used in light trucks
- Difficulty sourcing a single bias tyre that meets multiple duty requirements
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying light commercial vehicle fleets in Asia, Africa and South America
- Fleet operators managing older light trucks that rely on bias tyre fitments
- Importers sourcing a single, reliable bias tyre for mixed-duty applications
- Government and municipal buyers procuring tyres for utility and service vehicles
Application Scenarios
- Delivery vans and utility trucks running daily in city centres and on gravel feeder roads
- Service and maintenance vehicles used by utilities, telecoms and municipal departments
- Light-duty transport for construction site logistics and material delivery
- Fleets operating in markets where bias tyres are preferred due to cost and availability
- Replacement of worn bias tyres on older light trucks where radial conversion is not feasible
Technical Features
- Bias construction with 8 ply rating for durability under light truck loads
- Tread depth of 9.0 mm provides a balance between wear life and traction
- Section width of 160 mm and overall diameter of 620 mm match standard 5.50-13LT fitments
- Rim size 4.00B ensures compatibility with common light truck wheels
- Speed symbol K allows operation up to 160 km/h, suitable for highway and urban use

Materials and Construction
- Bias casing construction as supplied by the manufacturing plant
- Tread compound designed for good wear resistance and heat dissipation
- Sidewall compound specified for low noise and moderate flex under load
From Size List to Loaded Container
Confirm fitment against the vehicle's axle load, rim width, and intended duty
We quote FOB or CIF based on your load port and confirm current plant availability
Production or stock allocation is confirmed with the plant before deposit
Container is loaded, insured, and shipped with certificate of origin and full export documents
Quality and After Sales
- Every tyre supplied carries a one year warranty against manufacturing defect
- Warranty claims are handled directly by us rather than passed back to the plant
- Cargo transportation insurance is arranged on every shipment
- DOT, ECE and other markings are confirmed against your market requirement before loading
Customisation Options
- Mixed container loading across sizes, patterns and brands to match your order book
- Certificate of origin issued to suit your import duty position
- Sidewall branding and private label subject to plant minimum order quantity
- Label, marking and packaging adjusted to the destination market requirement
Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Radial light truck tyres
LL19-Bias offers lower cost and simpler fitment on older vehicles, but may have higher rolling resistance and shorter tread life
Compared With Other bias tyres with lower ply ratings
The 8 ply rating provides better load support and casing durability than 6 or 7 ply alternatives
Compared With Tyres with higher speed symbols
Speed symbol K limits top speed to 160 km/h, which is sufficient for most light truck duties but not for high-speed delivery routes
Use Guide
- Match the ply rating and load index to your vehicle's axle load and rim width
- Inflate to 420 kPa for both single and dual fitments as specified in the size table
- Inspect tread depth regularly; 9.0 mm initial depth should be monitored for wear
- Rotate tyres before uneven wear develops, especially on vehicles with one-way loading patterns
- Check for sidewall damage after off-road or gravel road use, as bias tyres are less resistant to impact
LL19-Bias Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 5.50-13LT 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?
Only 5.50-13LT in 8 ply rating is listed. Full load index, rim and pressure data for this size is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre legal for use in my country?
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.
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.
