- LTR Tire
RADIAL655 is a radial light truck tyre designed for passenger cars and light trucks that require consistent steering response and extended tread life under mixed urban and highway conditions. The tread pattern delivers stable handling and effective water dispersion, reducing hydroplaning risk on wet surfaces.
What RADIAL655 Is Built For
RADIAL655 is a radial light truck tyre designed for passenger cars and light trucks that require consistent steering response and extended tread life under mixed urban and highway conditions. The tread pattern delivers stable handling and effective water dispersion, reducing hydroplaning risk on wet surfaces. It is built for light-duty commercial use, including delivery vans, small utility trucks and fleet vehicles operating in city environments with frequent stops and starts. The 5.00R12LT size is rated for 8PR with a load index of 83/81 and speed symbol N, suitable for speeds up to 100 km/h.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Good drainage performance and stability
- Good wear resistance
- Excellent steering performance
Key Benefits
- Excellent steering performance for precise handling in urban and city driving
- Good wear resistance extends tread life under frequent stop-start cycles
- Good drainage performance reduces hydroplaning risk on wet roads
- Stable handling across varied road surfaces including asphalt and light gravel
- 8PR ply rating supports moderate load capacity for light commercial use
Problems It Solves
- Steering response degrades quickly on worn tyres, increasing driver fatigue and accident risk
- Tread wear accelerates in stop-start urban driving, reducing replacement intervals
- Poor water dispersion leads to hydroplaning on wet city roads, increasing safety risk
- Inconsistent handling on light-duty vehicles due to low steering precision
- Lack of availability of a single tyre that balances wear, steering and wet performance
Who It Is For
- Tyre importers sourcing light truck tyres for urban delivery fleets
- Wholesale distributors stocking tyres for small commercial vehicle fleets
- Fleet operators replacing tyres on light-duty vans and utility trucks
- Government or municipal buyers procuring tyres for city service vehicles
- Retail chains managing a mixed fleet of light trucks and delivery vans
Application Scenarios
- Delivery vans operating in city centres with frequent stops and turns
- Small utility trucks used for local distribution and service work
- Fleet vehicles running daily routes with mixed pavement and occasional unpaved access roads
- Light commercial vehicles used in urban logistics with high steering input
- Vehicles operating in regions with frequent rain where wet grip and water evacuation are critical
Technical Features
- Radial construction with 8PR ply rating for durability under light commercial use
- Tread pattern designed for good drainage and stability on wet and dry surfaces
- Load index 83/81 supports up to 462 kg single and 487 kg dual at standard pressure
- Speed symbol N allows operation up to 100 km/h, suitable for city and highway driving
- Tread depth of 7.2 mm provides a balance between initial wear resistance and grip

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Bias-ply light truck tyres
Radial655 offers better wear resistance, steering precision and stability, especially under load and at higher speeds
Compared With General-purpose passenger tyres
Radial655 has a higher ply rating and load index, making it suitable for light commercial use rather than standard passenger vehicles
Compared With Other radial LTR tyres with lower tread depth
7.2 mm tread depth provides longer wear life compared to tyres with 5.0 mm or less, especially in stop-start urban environments
Use Guide
- Match ply rating and load index to your vehicle’s axle load and rim width
- Inflate to 450 kPa for optimal load capacity and tread life
- Check pressure regularly, especially before long city runs or heavy loads
- Rotate tyres before uneven wear develops, particularly on vehicles with one-sided load patterns
- Inspect tread depth and sidewall condition every 5,000 km to ensure continued performance
RADIAL655 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 5.00R12LT 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?
Only 5.00R12LT in 8PR with load index 83/81 and speed symbol N is available. Full load index, rim and pressure data is in the size table.
Is this tyre legal for use in my country?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us your import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on this size before you place the order.
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.
