Landsail 225/55 R17 101W LS388 2024

Wider Everyday Fitment

The Landsail LS388 225/55 R17 is a wide passenger tyre for vehicles specifically approved for this size and rating. Its 225 mm footprint provides a settled feel during motorway driving, while the 55-profile sidewall retains enough depth to absorb ordinary road joints and shallow potholes. It feels firmer than a taller touring tyre but is not extremely low-profile.

Product Information

The sidewall height equals 55% of the tyre’s 225 mm width. This proportion gives the LS388 a controlled response without removing all of the cushioning needed for daily use. Its 101 load index supports up to 825 kg per tyre under specified conditions. The W rating describes tested speed capability and should not be understood as a recommended road speed.

Suitable Vehicles

This size can be used on selected executive saloons, estate cars, larger family hatchbacks, MPVs and some compact crossovers. It is not suitable for every vehicle with 17-inch wheels. Different model years and trims may require another load index, profile or tyre width.

Before ordering, confirm:

• The full 225/55 R17 specification
• A minimum load index of 101
• The manufacturer’s required speed rating
• The correct cold inflation pressure

Behind the Wheel

On a correctly matched vehicle, the LS388 feels stable through gradual motorway bends and routine lane changes. Its broad tread creates a substantial contact area, although low-speed steering may feel slightly heavier than it would with a narrower manufacturer-approved tyre.

The 55-profile sidewall provides moderate cushioning over patched asphalt and expansion joints. Drivers moving from a taller 65-profile tyre may notice more road texture, while those moving from a lower-profile fitment may find the steering less immediate. This makes the LS388 more appropriate for normal commuting and long-distance road use than aggressive driving.

Wet braking and cornering depend on tread depth, pressure, road condition and speed. The W rating alone does not guarantee performance-level wet grip. Underinflation can increase shoulder wear and heat buildup, especially when the vehicle carries passengers and luggage. Overinflation may reduce comfort and concentrate wear near the centre of the tread.

Ordering and Installation

Customers ordering from dwbtyres.ae should verify the production-date code on the physical tyre, available quantity and services included with fitting. Proper balancing is important for smooth motorway travel. Alignment should also be checked if the previous tyres show irregular inner- or outer-edge wear.

Purchase Decision

Drivers looking to buy tyres in UAE should choose the LS388 only when 225/55 R17 101W matches their vehicle requirements. Anyone preparing to buy car tyres in UAE should compare the entire specification with the door placard rather than selecting a tyre based only on wheel diameter or tread width.
