Frequently Asked Questions

As with any tire purchase, it is recommended to have a qualified tire technician inspect the tire upon receipt and before mounting.

A: The 11R22.5 is one of the most common commercial truck tire sizes in North America. It is used on Class 6, 7, and 8 trucks, tractor-trailers, buses, and heavy vocational vehicles with 22.5-inch rims. Always verify your rim width and axle position requirements to ensure proper fitment.

Q: What axle position is this tire for?
