The 825×15 — written in standard notation as 8.25-15 — is one of the most common large-format forklift tyre sizes in South Africa. At GP Forklifts in Johannesburg, we stock GP Solid 825×15 tyres for rapid supply to heavy industrial operations across Gauteng and beyond.
At 8.25 inches wide on a 15-inch rim, the 8.25-15 is a large solid tyre suited to high-capacity counterbalance forklifts — typically machines in the 4-tonne to 7-tonne range. It's one of the most popular large tyre sizes in South Africa precisely because it fits such a wide range of machines, and it strikes the right balance between load capacity, stability, and tread life for demanding industrial use.
At this weight class, you’re not buying tyres every few months — but when it is time to replace them, you want a product that’s going to go the distance. GP Solid tyres deliver:
01
Solid construction — no air, no foam, no maintenance, and no puncture surprises
02
Engineered load rating — handles the 4T to 7T operating range without compromise
03
Hard-wearing compound — tested for South African industrial conditions including heat, dust, and abrasive floors
04
Wide contact patch — improves stability and load distribution on heavy lifts
05
Proven compatibility across the most widely used forklift brands in Johannesburg
The 8.25-15 is one of those sizes that turns up across almost every major brand’s heavy range. We supply GP Solid 825×15 tyres for:
Toyota 7FD40 to 7FD70 heavy diesel and LPG models
Hyster H4.0 to H7.0 FT series counterbalance forklifts
Yale GDP40 to GDP70 diesel and LPG range
Mitsubishi FD40 to FD70 range
Komatsu FD40 to FD70 diesel counterbalance forklifts
Linde H40T to H70T diesel and LPG models
Doosan G40S to G70S LPG and diesel series
Clark C40 to C70 series
Not sure if this size fits your machine? Check the tyre sidewall or the placard inside your forklift’s door frame. Still unsure — call us and we’ll confirm it before anything gets ordered.
It's a question that comes up regularly. The 8.25-15 and 8.15-15 are close in size but not interchangeable — the 8.25 is slightly wider and has a marginally larger contact patch. Fitting the wrong size can affect stability, steer load, and even clearance on some machines. Always verify against your forklift's placard or the OEM spec sheet before ordering. If you're not certain, our team will cross-check for you — it takes five minutes and saves a costly mistake.
We understand that a heavy forklift out of action doesn't just create a maintenance headache — it affects your whole operation. We keep the 825x15 in stock so that your machine is back on the floor fast. We serve businesses throughout Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Midrand, and across South Africa.
