What LL8 Is Built For
LL8 is a bias truck and bus tyre designed for light to medium duty applications where consistent wear and high traction are required. It is built for vehicles that operate on mixed surfaces including urban routes, rural feeder roads, and occasional off-road access. The tyre features a tread pattern that resists cracking and maintains grip under load, suitable for fleets running in moderate to heavy service conditions. Five sizes are available, covering 7.00-15LT and 7.50-15LT in 10 and 12 ply ratings, and 7.00-20 in 10 and 12 ply ratings. All sizes are supplied with load index and speed symbol matching the listed performance data.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Good Wear and crack resistance
- High traction
Key Benefits
- Good wear and crack resistance for extended casing life in mixed-duty service
- High traction performance on wet and dry surfaces, including light off-road use
- Five sizes available across 7.00-15LT and 7.00-20 fitments to match different vehicle axles
- Load index up to 124/120 and speed symbol G or K for reliable performance under load
- Tread depth of 10.0 to 12.0 mm ensures longer usable tread life before retreading
Problems It Solves
- Cracking in the tread and shoulder areas due to repeated flexing on rough or uneven surfaces
- Loss of traction on wet or loose surfaces leading to reduced safety and control
- Short casing life from wear patterns that degrade quickly under mixed-duty conditions
- Need for multiple tyre types to cover different axle positions or load levels
- Lack of availability of bias tyres with consistent wear and traction performance in standard sizes
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying light to medium duty trucks and buses in Asia, Africa, and South America
- Fleet operators replacing tyres that fail due to cracking or poor traction in mixed-duty environments
- Importers sourcing bias tyres for markets where radial replacements are not required
- Government and municipal transport departments buying tyres for municipal buses and service vehicles
Application Scenarios
- Urban delivery vans and service vehicles running daily on city streets and gravel access roads
- School and shuttle buses operating on paved routes with occasional unpaved access to schools or depots
- Light construction transport vehicles moving between job sites on unsealed roads and highways
- Fleets of medium-duty trucks used in logistics and distribution with mixed surface routes
- Regional transport operators needing consistent traction and wear resistance in moderate climates
Technical Features
- Bias construction with reinforced casing for durability under repeated flexing
- Tread pattern designed for high traction and resistance to cracking under load
- Tread depth of 10.0 mm to 12.0 mm across all sizes, supporting longer retread cycles
- Load index up to 124/120 and speed symbols K or G for safe operation at rated loads
- Available in 7.00-15LT and 7.00-20 fitments with matching rim widths and pressure ratings

Materials and Construction
- Bias casing construction as supplied by the manufacturing plant
- Tread compound designed for crack resistance and high traction
- Sidewall compound and gauge specified for durability under flexing and impact
From Size List to Loaded Container
Confirm size, ply rating, load index, and rim width against the vehicle axle and service 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 payment
Container is loaded, insured, and shipped with certificate of origin and full export documentation
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 marking requirements are confirmed against your import market 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 truck tyres in the same size range
LL8 offers lower rolling resistance than radial tyres but is not designed for high-speed or long-haul use; radial tyres may last longer on highway routes but are not required for light to medium duty
Compared With Other bias tyres with lower load index or tread depth
LL8 provides higher load capacity and deeper tread depth, supporting longer casing life and better traction under load
Compared With High-speed radial tyres for long-haul fleets
LL8 is not suitable for highway speeds above 100 km/h; radial tyres are better for sustained high-speed operation
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load and service duty; overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the rim width listed against your wheel: 5.50F for 7.00-15LT, 6.00G for 7.50-15LT, 5.5 for 7.00-20
- Inflate to the pressure shown in the size table for your load; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate tyres before irregular wear sets in, especially on vehicles with one-way loading patterns
- Inspect tread and shoulder areas regularly for early signs of cracking, particularly after exposure to rough terrain
LL8 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 7.00-15LT or 7.00-20 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?
7.00-15LT in 10 and 12 ply, 7.50-15LT in 12 ply, and 7.00-20 in 10 and 12 ply. Full load index, rim, pressure, and dimension 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 highway use?
It is rated for speeds up to 100 km/h (K symbol) or 160 km/h (G symbol), depending on size. It is suitable for highway use but not designed for sustained high-speed operation.
