Tyre SAMSON 11R22.5 16PR GL283A
Select tyres by axle load
Enter the vehicle, axle position and road conditions. The tool distributes load to each wheel, calculates recommended inflation pressure and ranks the three best-matching tread patterns from a catalogue of 303 specifications.
Container tractor unit — highway
Twin axle — 4 wheels per axle · Favour low-amplitude rib patterns with low rolling resistance to cut fuel use on continuous runs at 80–100 km/h.

Operating recommendation. At 2,500 kg per wheel, check pressure in the morning while the tyre is still cold. Rotate tyres and realign wheel geometry every 15,000–20,000 km for even tread wear.
Calculation basis
What is the tool based on?
Load distribution
Axle load is divided equally across the actual number of wheels — 2 wheels for a single axle, 4 for a dual axle. Steer axles always use the single-wheel configuration.
Pressure by tyre group
Base pressure ranges by application group (TBR, radial OTR, bias OTR, industrial), adjusted for the actual load on each wheel.
Tread pattern ranking
Scored on how well each tread pattern matches the vehicle, axle position, route and preferred rim; duplicates are removed from the three results.
