Blem Ironman 11R22.5/16 148/145L - BLM.98633

The Blem Ironman 11R22.5/16 148/145L (SKU: BLM.98633) is a commercial truck and trailer tire in the popular 11R22.5 size, carrying dual load ratings of 148/145L — making it a practical, budget-conscious choice for fleets, owner-operators, and heavy-duty applications that require a proven 22.5-inch tire. As a "blem" (blemished) unit, this tire is a cosmetically imperfect overstock or manufacturing second that meets the same structural and performance standards as a first-quality Ironman tire, offered at a reduced price point of $204.48. If you're running 22.5-inch wheels on a semi, box truck, or coach, and need to stretch your tire budget without sacrificing load capacity, a blem Ironman in this size is worth a close look.

Key Features & Benefits

• 11R22.5 Size / 16-Ply Rating: A workhorse commercial tire size widely used across Class 7–8 trucks, trailers, buses, and coaches — 22.5-inch diameter wheels are the industry standard for over-the-road and regional haul applications.
• 148/145L Dual Load Rating: The 148 single / 145 dual load index supports substantial weight capacity in both single and dual-wheel configurations, giving fleet managers flexibility when speccing steer, drive, or trailer positions.
• "L" Speed Rating: The L speed rating is appropriate for commercial truck duty cycles, consistent with the demands of highway and regional routes.
• Blem Pricing Advantage: Blem tires are cosmetically marked seconds — surface-level scuffs, small molding marks, or minor discoloration — not structural defects. Buying blem is a common strategy among fleet operators and cost-conscious owner-operators to access name-brand tires at meaningful savings.
• Ironman Commercial Tire Lineage: Ironman is a recognized commercial tire brand, and its 11R22.5 offering is part of a broad commercial lineup sold across North America for demanding applications.
• Free Shipping: This tire ships free, keeping your total cost of ownership low — particularly valuable given the size and weight of 22.5 commercial tires.
