T810E +
In this short overview, we will tell you about practical tires for medium and large-capacity trailers for long-haul haulage.
T810E + tires are one of many models manufactured by the Chinese company Linglong Tire. Linglong Tire is one of the five largest Chinese manufacturers and the world's twenty largest car tire manufacturers.
To attract overseas buyers to its products, Linglong Tire founded the Leao brand, which specializes in high-quality yet affordable tires. By the way, the production facilities of this brand are located not in China itself, but Taiwan.
Leao T810E + tires are of high-quality workmanship and, as a result, excellent driving characteristics.
What should be the tires for trailers
Many are unaware of how important trailer tires are. In the meantime, the choice of these tires is just as important as the choice of tires fitted to the wheels of the truck itself.
The importance of making the right choice is due to the need to ensure traffic safety. After all, if the trailer loses directional stability or if there is not enough grip for braking, the car also becomes uncontrollable. In addition, many truck accidents were caused by unplanned depressurization of trailer tires, which were not originally designed for heavy loads.
From the above, it follows that the tires for the trailer must correspond to the mass of the load to be transported. In addition, properly sized tires must provide sufficient traction to brake quickly when needed, even when driving downhill. And of course, correctly selected trailer tires must provide good directional stability so that the trailer and, as a result, the car does not throw from side to side.
To what extent do Leao T810E + comply with these requirements? To understand how these tires meet the operational requirements, we will consider their main characteristics, and then list the advantages and disadvantages, if any.

T810E + Performance Benefits
The T810E + tires, like most of the products marketed under the Leao brand, are reasonably priced. No, these are not cheap tires, these are products that demonstrate the best combination of price and quality.
However, in addition to the reasonable price, these tires have other equally important advantages that directly affect the operation of the vehicle. And among these advantages, we note the following:
High level of exchange rate stability. Thanks to their efficient tread pattern, these tires prevent the trailer from wobbling from side to side. On the contrary, the trailer goes directly behind the tractor, completely following its trajectory. Moreover, the high directional stability of the movement, due to the use of such tires, is relevant both about laden and empty trailers. Due to the exact repetition of the trajectory of the truck by the trailer, drivers can concentrate on the road instead of being distracted by the behavior of the trailer.
Excellent traction when braking is required. Despite the mild transverse sipes, the T810E + has a good grip on both dry and wet surfaces. And if we consider that a truck with a trailer mostly brakes with the wheels of the trailer, then the tire adhesion is of considerable importance. In general, all other conditions being equal, these tires have shorter stopping distances than other all-season tires.
Good tire balance. Due to their design features, these tires do not require balancing when installed on rims. This has a positive effect on the driving performance of the tires.
Minimum rolling resistance. Due to its good balance, the T810E + tires offer minimal rolling resistance. Simply put, the tractor will use less fuel to transport a trailer on these tires.
Compared to conventional, less technologically advanced tires, the Leao T810E + reduces fuel consumption by about 10%. If the high-tech tires from Linglong Tire are installed on the truck, the savings will be even greater.
Long-term operation. Even though most of the inexpensive Chinese tires are not durable, the Leao T810E + behaves differently. On average, these tires will travel about 65,000 miles more than other all-season tires. Partly, the reason is the use of a technologically advanced compound for casting the tread, and partly, in the uniform pressing of the tread to the road surface over the entire area of the contact patch. One way or another, Linglong Tire gives its tires a guarantee of up to 65 thousand miles.
High reliability and, as a result, the absence of unplanned downtime in the operation of the vehicle. Leao T810E + tires are resistant to mechanical damage, and therefore they will not depressurize on the way, which means that you will not have to interrupt the transportation of cargo while changing tires.
Truly an all-season operation. Most all-season tires are only partly all-season. Some of them travel badly in summer, some badly in winter and the off-season. Leao T810E + tires perform well in the temperature range from 77 to 23 F. At higher ambient temperatures, tire performance remains fair, but tread wear increases.
Self-cleaning function. Earlier mention was made of the reliability and durability of the Leao T810E + tires. And it should be noted that this advantage is partly due to the self-cleaning function of the tread. During the operation of most of the truck tires, sooner or later, small stones are hammered into them. Stones, falling into the tread gaps, gradually destroy the rubber. To avoid tire damage, the T810E + is equipped with a function that allows stones to fly out of the grooves and sipes already at a speed of 40 mph.
Disadvantages
The disadvantages are insignificant. For example, some buyers complain about the lack of brand officials. There is such a problem, but every year Linglong Tire is expanding its dealer network. This means that very soon everyone will be able to buy Leao T810E + tires at the best prices. Otherwise, the disadvantages of these tires are usually triggered by malfunctions of the equipment used or improper tire use.
Briefly about technologies and production
As already mentioned, Linglong Tire is a fairly large manufacturer of car tires. And since the production is large and the volumes of products sold are rather big, the company has sufficient capabilities to use the most modern and most efficient technologies. Moreover, Linglong Tire has automated the work processes in its factories to the maximum extent. Also, multi-stage quality control was introduced. As a result, the use of the best technologies in combination with the absence of the negative impact of the human factor in production made it possible not only to improve the quality of finished tires but also to reduce their cost.
Buyers of the T810E + Tires
There is no one-size-fits-all portrait of Leao-branded tire buyers. Nevertheless, as for the Leao T810E + model, the buyers are most often the owners of small companies engaged in a mixed type of cargo transportation. It is clear that the primary criterion for choosing these tires, in this case, is an affordable price. But, interestingly, along with small companies, Leao tires are gradually starting to be exploited by large organizations engaged in international cargo and passenger transportation. Representatives of these companies, in turn, are guided not by considerations of affordable cost, but by considerations of the optimal combination of price and quality.
