- Long Haul
LTL811 is a radial trailer axle tyre designed for long-haul trucks operating on highways. The tread pattern is engineered to reduce rolling resistance and maintain even wear across extended highway runs. It features a wear-resistant compound that minimizes tread block shifting, helping to extend tread life and reduce the risk of irregular wear.
What LTL811 Is Built For
LTL811 is a radial trailer axle tyre designed for long-haul trucks operating on highways. The tread pattern is engineered to reduce rolling resistance and maintain even wear across extended highway runs. It features a wear-resistant compound that minimizes tread block shifting, helping to extend tread life and reduce the risk of irregular wear. The tyre is available in two ply ratings, 18 and 20, with load indices of 155 and 158, and is suitable for high-speed highway use with a speed symbol of L. It is supplied in a single size, 445/50R22.5, with a standard rim width of 14.00 and a tread depth of 10.5 mm.

- Operators seeking to reduce fuel costs and extend tread life on high-mileage highway routes
- Importers requiring trailer axle tyres with consistent performance across a mixed container load
Technical Features
- Radial construction with low rolling resistance for highway efficiency
- Wear-resistant compound designed to reduce tread block movement and shift
- Tread depth of 10.5 mm on all listed sizes, consistent with TRA and ETRTO standards
- Standard rim width of 14.00 for 445/50R22.5 size, matching common trailer axle fitments
- Speed symbol L suitable for highway speeds up to 120 km/h
- Single size 445/50R22.5 with two ply ratings and two load indices to match axle load requirements

- Sidewall and belt package as specified by the plant for trailer axle highway use
From Size List to Loaded Container
Confirm the required ply rating, load index, and pressure against your trailer axle load and rim width
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 is required
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, not 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 Trailer axle tyres with higher ply ratings and lower load indices
LTL811 offers higher load capacity and consistent performance across two ply ratings without requiring multiple patterns
Compared With Tread patterns designed for mixed-surface or off-road use
LTL811 is optimized for highway use; off-road patterns wear faster and increase fuel consumption on paved routes
Compared With Tyres with no wear-resistant compound
LTL811’s compound reduces tread block shift, helping to maintain even wear and extend tread life on long highway runs
Use Guide
- Match ply rating and load index to your actual axle load; overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Use the correct pressure from the size table: 700 kPa for 3875 kg single load, 850 kPa for 4625 kg single load
- Do not exceed the speed symbol L (120 km/h) on highway routes
- Inspect tread wear regularly to detect early signs of uneven wear or block shift
- Maintain proper inflation pressure to prevent overheating and premature casing failure
LTL811 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 445/50R22.5 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?
445/50R22.5 in 18PR and 20PR, with load indices of 155, 158, and 161. 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 off-road use?
No. LTL811 is designed for highway use only. It is not suitable for unsealed roads, quarry hauls, or off-road conditions.
