What LL59 Is Built For
LL59 is a bias truck and bus tyre designed for heavy-duty applications where consistent performance and wear resistance are required under sustained load. It is built for vehicles that operate on mixed surfaces and long-haul routes, with a tread pattern that maintains stability and grip across varied conditions. The tyre is available in 15 sizes ranging from 7.50-16LT to 14.00-20, with ply ratings from 14 to 20 and load indices up to 164/159. It supports speeds up to 120 km/h (K symbol) and 100 km/h (G symbol), and up to 80 km/h (E symbol) for the largest size. Tread depth varies from 12.0 mm to 20.0 mm, with the deeper tread on larger sizes to support extended casing life. The tyre is suitable for use on trucks and buses that carry heavy payloads over extended distances, including regional hauls and feeder routes.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Available for heavy load
- Good wear resistance
- Stable performance
Key Benefits
- Available in 15 sizes from 7.50-16LT to 14.00-20, covering a wide range of truck and bus axle positions
- Ply ratings from 14 to 20 allow matching to actual axle load and service duty
- Load index up to 164/159 supports heavy payloads, with max single load up to 5000 kg on the 14.00-20 size
- Tread depth from 12.0 mm to 20.0 mm provides extended casing life for high-mileage operations
- Stable performance under heavy load and sustained duty, with good wear resistance across all listed sizes
Problems It Solves
- Heavy-duty vehicles with high axle loads require tyres with higher ply ratings than standard bias tyres can provide
- Tread wear on long-haul routes is accelerated when tread depth is insufficient for casing life
- Fleets running on mixed surfaces need stable performance across both paved and unpaved sections
- Lack of availability in larger sizes (12.00-20 and 14.00-20) forces buyers to use multiple patterns or brands
- Inconsistent load capacity across sizes leads to over-specification or under-specification of tyres
Who It Is For
- Tyre importers sourcing bias tyres for heavy-duty truck and bus fleets in emerging markets
- Distributors supplying replacement tyres for regional haul and urban bus fleets
- Fleet operators replacing bias tyres that fail due to uneven wear or load instability

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Radial truck tyres with similar load index
LL59 offers lower rolling resistance and better fuel efficiency than radial tyres, but radial tyres generally last longer and handle heat better on long-haul routes
Compared With Other bias tyres with lower ply ratings
LL59 provides higher load capacity and wear resistance, especially on 14.00-20 and 12.00-20 sizes, which are not available in lower ply ratings
Compared With Tyres with shallower tread depth
LL59 has deeper tread (up to 20.0 mm) on larger sizes, which extends casing life and supports retreading on high-mileage applications
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available – overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 6.00G for 7.50-16LT, 6.50H for 8.25-16LT, 7.0 for 9.00-20, 7.5 for 10.00-20, 8.0 for 11.00-20, 8.5 for 12.00-20, 10.0 for 14.00-20
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate tyres before irregular wear sets in, especially on fleets running one-way loads
- Inspect tread depth regularly; the 14.00-20 size with 20.0 mm tread depth supports extended casing life and retreading
LL59 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 14.00-20 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?
15 sizes: 7.50-16LT, 8.25-16LT, 9.00-20, 10.00-20, 11.00-20, 12.00-20, 14.00-20. Full load index, rim, pressure, and tread depth data for each is in the size table.
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 retreading?
Yes. The 12.00-20 and 14.00-20 sizes have 15.0 mm and 20.0 mm tread depth respectively, which support retreading. Confirm casing condition before retreading.
