Yokohama LT151R Tyres

Made for vans, small trucks and commercial vehicles that work long days on sealed roads, the Yokohama LT151R light truck tyre is built around wear life, fuel efficiency and stability in the wet. It suits fleets and owner-drivers who want predictable running costs. Find all the LT151R sizes on offer on our website, from 15-inch van fitments through to 17.5-inch light truck sizes.

Borrowing from heavy truck construction

Yokohama bases the LT151R's structure on its heavy-duty truck tyres. The casing is rigid to limit distortion under load, helping the tread wear evenly over a long service life. A newer compound and revised profile aim to extend wear, while four rigid ribs reduce uneven wear and add stability when the vehicle is fully laden.

Grooves shaped for wet roads

Distinctive grooves in the tread are designed to keep the tyre stable on wet bitumen, an important trait for couriers and tradies who keep working when it rains. Yokohama also lists comfort and highway driving among its strengths, suiting vehicles that mix suburban drops with longer runs between towns.

A wide spread of commercial sizes

Every size listed is a light truck or commercial fitment with paired load indices, the second figure applying when tyres run in dual configuration. The range covers:

• 15-inch sizes such as 195/75R15 and 215/65R15 for vans and small trucks
• 16-inch sizes including 205/85R16, 195/85R16 and 225/75R16 for vans and cab-chassis light trucks
• 17.5-inch sizes, 205/80R17.5 and 215/70R17.5, for larger light trucks

Use the vehicle or tyre size search on this page to find your fitment, then book fitting at your local Bob Jane T-Marts store so the team can confirm the load index and set pressures for the way you load the vehicle.

FAQs

Which cars suit the Yokohama LT151R?

The LT151R is made for commercial vehicles rather than passenger cars. Its sizes suit delivery vans, small cab-chassis trucks and light trucks running 15-inch, 16-inch or 17.5-inch rims, including vehicles set up with dual rear wheels. Many of these sizes are specific to particular truck models, so check your tyre placard or ask a store to confirm the right size and load rating before you order.

How much do Yokohama LT151R tyres cost?

LT151R tyres start from around $348 per tyre for the 195/65R16 and go up to about $649 for the 215/70R17.5. Price depends on size, and current pricing for each size is shown in the listing above. Prices include fitting and balancing.

Is the LT151R suited to wet roads and long highway runs?

Yes, that is the work it was designed for. Yokohama highlights wet-road stability and highway driving, and the rigid construction helps it hold its shape when loaded. The trade-off is that it is a road tyre: it is not built for regular gravel, quarry or off-road work, where a tyre with a more open tread and tougher sidewall would be better suited.
