- 8 sizes
- Long Haul
LLF16 is a radial steer-axle truck tyre designed for long-haul highway operations. The tread pattern is optimised for stability and even wear under sustained high-speed travel, with a focus on consistent handling and extended casing life. It is built for trucks that operate primarily on paved routes with minimal off-road exposure.
What LLF16 Is Built For
LLF16 is a radial steer-axle truck tyre designed for long-haul highway operations. The tread pattern is optimised for stability and even wear under sustained high-speed travel, with a focus on consistent handling and extended casing life. It is built for trucks that operate primarily on paved routes with minimal off-road exposure. The tyre carries the M speed symbol, suitable for sustained highway speeds. Eight sizes are available across 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 295/75R22.5, and 285/75R24.5, with ply ratings of 14 and 16, covering most standard long-haul truck configurations in Asia, Europe, and South America.

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Steer tyres designed for mixed-surface or off-road use
LLF16 prioritises highway stability and long tread life; off-road steer tyres wear faster and handle less predictably on tarmac
Compared With Non-radial steer tyres
Radial construction in LLF16 offers better fuel efficiency, longer casing life, and improved handling at highway speeds
Compared With Tyres with higher speed symbols like N or H
LLF16's M speed symbol is sufficient for long-haul highway use; higher speed ratings add cost without benefit for this duty
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying costs money and rides hard
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 8.25 for 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, 9.00 for 295/75R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Monitor tread wear and rotate steer positions before irregular wear sets in, especially on long-haul routes
- Inspect for uneven wear or vibration after long highway runs; early detection prevents alignment issues
LLF16 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11R22.5 or 295/75R22.5 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?
11R22.5 in 14PR and 16PR, 11R24.5 in 14PR and 16PR, 295/75R22.5 in 14PR and 16PR, and 285/75R24.5 in 14PR and 16PR. 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.
Which load port do you use?
We ship from Shanghai, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Hong Kong. The specific port is confirmed based on container availability and your destination.
