LL47
- 14 sizes
- Bias
LL47 is a bias truck and bus tyre designed for medium-duty commercial vehicles operating on mixed routes with frequent stops and variable loads. The tread pattern is engineered for consistent wear and resistance to cracking under repeated thermal stress, while the construction supports lower rolling resistance and improved heat dissipation during sustained operation.
What LL47 Is Built For
LL47 is a bias truck and bus tyre designed for medium-duty commercial vehicles operating on mixed routes with frequent stops and variable loads. The tread pattern is engineered for consistent wear and resistance to cracking under repeated thermal stress, while the construction supports lower rolling resistance and improved heat dissipation during sustained operation. It is available in 14 sizes across 7.00-20 to 12.00-20, with ply ratings from 10 to 18, load indices up to 154/150, and speed symbols G, G/K, or K/L. The tyre is suitable for front and drive axle positions on regional delivery trucks, city buses, and utility vehicles that operate in urban and semi-urban environments with moderate road conditions.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Wear and crack resistance
- Low rolling resistance
- Good heat dissipation
Key Benefits
- Wear and crack resistance improves casing life under repeated thermal and mechanical stress

- Label, marking, and packaging adjusted to the destination market requirement
Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard bias tyres without wear and crack resistance claims
LL47 maintains casing integrity longer under repeated thermal and mechanical stress, reducing early failure
Compared With Radial truck tyres with similar load index
LL47 has lower rolling resistance than many bias tyres but is not as fuel-efficient as radial patterns
Compared With High-speed radial tyres with G or H speed symbols
LL47 is limited to G, G/K, and K/L speed symbols, so it is not suitable for highway-long-haul applications
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest rating available - overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 5.5 for 7.00-20, 6.5 for 8.25-20, 6.50H for 8.25-16LT, etc.
- Inflate to the pressure shown in the size table for your load; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Inspect tread and sidewall for cracks after every 5000 km of operation, especially in hot climates
- Rotate tyres before irregular wear sets in, particularly on fleets with one-way loading patterns
LL47 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 7.00-20 or 12.00-20 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?
14 sizes: 7.00-20, 8.25-20, 8.25-16LT, 9.00-20, 10.00-20, 11.00-20, 12.00-20. Ply ratings from 10 to 18. 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 highway use?
It carries speed symbols G, G/K, and K/L, which are suitable for regional and urban routes. It is not rated for sustained high-speed highway operation.
