T830 is a radial trailer axle truck tyre designed for long-haul highway operations. It is built for trucks that run primarily on paved routes with minimal off-road exposure. The tread pattern reduces rolling resistance to improve fuel efficiency over extended highway distances.
What T830 Is Built For
T830 is a radial trailer axle truck tyre designed for long-haul highway operations. It is built for trucks that run primarily on paved routes with minimal off-road exposure. The tread pattern reduces rolling resistance to improve fuel efficiency over extended highway distances. It is available in two ply ratings, 18 and 20, with load indices 158 and 160, and speed symbols L and J, covering standard trailer axle fitments on long-haul freight vehicles. The tyre maintains a consistent tread depth of 15.5 mm across both sizes, with a section width of 386 mm and overall diameter of 996 mm, mounted on a 12.25 standard rim.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Suitable for the trailer axle of trucks running on highway
- Low rolling resistance
Key Benefits
- Low rolling resistance improves fuel efficiency on long-haul highway routes
- Consistent 15.5 mm tread depth across both sizes supports extended casing life
- 18PR and 20PR ply ratings provide load capacity for heavy trailer axle applications
- Speed symbols L and J meet standard highway speed requirements for long-haul freight
- Standard 12.25 rim fitment matches common trailer axle wheel configurations
Problems It Solves
- High rolling resistance in trailer tyres increases fuel costs on long-distance routes
- Inconsistent tread depth across sizes leads to uneven wear and premature casing failure
- Lack of standard fitment across trailer axles complicates ordering and stock management
- Mismatched ply rating or load index causes overloading or underutilization of trailer axle capacity
- Multiple tyre patterns for different trailer types increase inventory and fitting complexity
Who It Is For
- Long-haul freight operators managing fleets of dry freight trailers
- Trucking companies sourcing trailer axle tyres in mixed container loads
- Distributors supplying replacement tyres for highway trailer axles across Asia, Europe and South America
- Fleet managers replacing trailer axle tyres with a single pattern across multiple trailer types
- Importers requiring tyres with consistent fitment and performance for long-haul applications
Application Scenarios
- Freight trucks operating on interstate highways with minimal off-road or urban driving
- Long-distance haulage fleets running consistent routes between major distribution hubs
- Trailer axles on 40-foot and 53-foot dry freight trailers carrying full loads over 1,000 km per trip
- Fleets seeking to reduce fuel consumption through low rolling resistance tyres on trailer axles
- Operators replacing worn trailer tyres with a consistent pattern across multiple trailers
Technical Features
- Radial construction with low rolling resistance for highway efficiency
- Tread depth of 15.5 mm across both sizes, as per ETRTO standard
- Designed specifically for trailer axle use on long-haul highway operations
- Standard rim size of 12.25 matches common trailer axle wheel configurations
- Speed symbols L and J suitable for highway speeds up to 120 km/h and 130 km/h respectively

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Trailer tyres with higher rolling resistance
T830 reduces fuel consumption over long distances, improving total cost of ownership
Compared With Trailer tyres designed for off-road or mixed-surface use
T830 is optimized for highway use; off-road patterns wear faster and increase fuel use on paved routes
Compared With Trailer tyres with lower ply rating or load index
T830’s 18PR and 20PR options support higher axle loads, reducing risk of under-rating and casing damage
Use Guide
- Match ply rating and load index to your actual axle load, not to the maximum available
- Use the correct pressure for single or dual fitment as specified in the size table
- Check tyre pressure before long trips and after long stops to maintain efficiency and safety
- Rotate trailer axle tyres before irregular wear sets in, especially on long-haul routes with consistent loads
- Inspect tread depth regularly; 15.5 mm is the norm, but wear should be monitored to avoid casing exposure
T830 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 385/55R22.5 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?
385/55R22.5 in 18PR (load index 158, speed symbol L) and 20PR (load index 160, speed symbol J). Full load and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre suitable for highway use?
Yes. It is designed specifically for trailer axle use on long-haul highway operations with low rolling resistance and highway speed symbols L and J.
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.
