- LTR Tire
LMC8 is a radial light truck tyre designed for passenger car and light truck applications where extended tread life and consistent handling under load are required. The pattern delivers high steering response and abrasion resistance across a range of road surfaces, including urban routes, rural feeder roads, and light off-road use.
What LMC8 Is Built For
LMC8 is a radial light truck tyre designed for passenger car and light truck applications where extended tread life and consistent handling under load are required. The pattern delivers high steering response and abrasion resistance across a range of road surfaces, including urban routes, rural feeder roads, and light off-road use. It is available in five sizes with 8PR construction, load indices from 106/104 to 110/108, and speed symbols P and R. The tread depth is 9.2 mm across all sizes, and the overall diameter ranges from 668 mm to 711 mm. It is suitable for vehicles that operate in mixed-duty environments with moderate axle loads and frequent stops.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- High steering and abrasion performance
Key Benefits
- 9.2 mm tread depth provides extended wear life across all listed sizes

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard passenger car tyres with lower ply rating
LMC8’s 8PR construction supports higher load capacity and better durability on light truck duty
Compared With Tyres with lower tread depth
9.2 mm tread depth across all sizes provides longer wear life than typical 7.0–8.0 mm patterns
Compared With Tyres without white sidewall versions
Available in white sidewall for 195R14C and 205R15C, enabling fleet branding or visibility
Use Guide
- Match the ply rating and load index to your vehicle’s axle load and rim width
- Use the standard rim size listed in the table: 5 1/2J for 195R14C, 6J for 205R14C and 205R15C
- Inflate to 450 kPa as specified; do not exceed the maximum pressure listed
- Rotate tyres before uneven wear develops, especially on vehicles with one-sided load patterns
- Inspect tread and sidewall for damage after off-road or gravel use to maintain casing integrity
LMC8 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of LMC8 typically fills by weight rather than volume, so the practical minimum is one container. Mixed loads across sizes and colours are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or needs production. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation.
Which sizes are available?
195R14C, 195R14C(WHITE), 205R14C, 205R15C, and 205R15C(WHITE). All are 8PR with load indices from 106/104 to 110/108.
Are white sidewall versions available?
Yes. White sidewall versions are available for 195R14C and 205R15C sizes.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us your import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply before order placement.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled directly by us. Cargo transportation insurance is provided on every shipment.
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.
