Looking for reliable 11R22.5 Trailer Tyres in Melbourne to reduce your cost per kilometre? The Ecostar ECO18 is a specialized commercial tyre designed specifically for the trailer position on semi-trailers, B-doubles, and skel trailers. It offers the perfect balance of durability and economy for logistics operators in Melbourne’s west.
This heavy-duty tyre features a robust 18-ply rating (18PR), providing the structural integrity needed to carry heavy palletised goods or container loads safely. The advanced "Zig-Zag" tread pattern is engineered to resist the scrubbing forces common on trailer axles while providing excellent water evacuation for safe braking on wet roads like the Western Ring Road or Princes Freeway.
With a generous 15mm tread depth and a low rolling resistance design, the ECO18 helps minimise fuel consumption while delivering long-lasting wear, making it a smart investment for owner-drivers and fleet managers alike.

The Zig-Zag pattern on the ECO18 is designed to provide "biting edges" for grip on wet roads without the high rolling resistance of a blocky drive tyre. It offers excellent lateral stability, preventing the trailer from swaying or sliding during cornering, while resisting the scrubbing wear that occurs on trailer axles.
This indicates the tyre's strength. An 18-ply rating means the tyre is built to handle substantial heavy loads, offering greater durability than standard 14 or 16-ply tyres. It ensures the casing is tough enough for the demands of Australian interstate haulage.
No, the ECO18 is designed specifically for the Trailer position. Trailer tyres are engineered for free-rolling axles to maximise fuel efficiency and resist lateral scrub. Using them on drive axles will result in poor traction, and using them on steer axles may compromise handling.
The tyre has an 'L' speed rating, which allows for speeds up to 120 km/h. This exceeds the legal speed limit for heavy vehicles in Australia (100 km/h), providing a safe margin for heat dissipation during long highway runs.
Pressure maintenance is key. For 11R22.5 trailer tyres, correct inflation prevents heat buildup and irregular wear. We recommend checking pressures weekly when tyres are cold. Regular rotation across the trailer axles can also help equalise wear and extend the tyre's usable life.
