Complete 2026 guide for fleet managers — the classic imperial size for trucks with 20-inch rims. Hanksugi steering and drive models with HATT Technology, DOT certification and DDP delivery to Antigua and Barbuda.
The 11.00R20 is the classic imperial size for heavy commercial trucks with 20-inch rims and remains one of the most sought-after sizes wherever older and heavy-duty fleets continue to operate on this rim system. If your fleet includes Mercedes-Benz 1620 or 1634 trucks, earlier Ford Cargo models, Volkswagen Worker trucks, or Chinese-built vehicles such as Dongfeng, FAW, Sinotruk HOWO or Foton — or any vehicle with a split 20-inch rim — this page gives you all the information you need. Hanksugi offers two premium models in this size — steering (HS207) and drive (HS68) — manufactured with HATT Technology for maximum mileage and casings designed for 1–2 retreads. Direct full-container pricing consistently undercuts retail distribution channels by 15–25%, with DDP delivery to your yard in Antigua and Barbuda.
The designation 11.00R20 uses the classic imperial system for heavy commercial tyres. 11.00 is the nominal section width in inches (approximately 279 mm from sidewall to sidewall). R indicates radial construction with steel belts. 20 is the rim diameter in inches (508 mm). Because no aspect ratio is stated, the 11.00R20 has a high sidewall profile of approximately 100%, giving a total diameter of around 1,085 mm.
The fundamental difference from modern 22.5-inch sizes is the mounting system. The 11.00R20 is fitted to split-rim wheels that generally require a tube and flap, whereas 22.5-inch sizes use one-piece tubeless rims. Although the 20-inch rim system is older and takes more time to fit, it remains the only option for trucks built to use this wheel type. For these fleets, Hanksugi supplies first-quality tyres with HATT Technology that maximise mileage and minimise the total cost per kilometre.
Hanksugi produces two premium models in size 11.00R20 for steering and drive positions. Direct fleet pricing starts from $240 USD per tyre on full-container orders.

While the developed world has moved almost entirely to tubeless 22.5-inch rims, a large installed base of trucks continues to operate on 20-inch rims across the Caribbean, Africa and Asia. The reasons are straightforward: fleet replacement cost (a used truck on 20-inch rims operates at a fraction of the cost of a new one); availability of rims and parts (the service infrastructure for 20-inch rims is well established in many regions); and robustness of the system (a split rim can be repaired in the field, which is critical for operations in remote or rural areas). For these fleets, tyre quality is all the more important, because a tyre failure on a remote road can leave a truck out of service for hours. Hanksugi 11.00R20 tyres with HATT Technology deliver the durability and reliability these operations require.
Hanksugi 11.00R20 casings are designed to withstand up to 2 retreading cycles, delivering up to three service lives from each tyre purchased. In markets where retreading is standard practice and retreading workshops are readily available, this capability dramatically reduces the cost per kilometre and maximises the return on investment for the fleet.
Fleet managers frequently compare these sizes when evaluating options for their heavy trucks:

The 11.00R20 size is used across a wide range of heavy trucks with 20-inch rims that remain in active service:
Demand for 11.00R20 tyres is concentrated in fleets where older trucks with 20-inch rims remain in active service:
Heavy trucks serving Saint John's Harbour and Jolly Harbour handle container and general cargo movements where older 20-inch rim vehicles are still part of the working fleet.
Construction activity across Antigua — from English Harbour and Falmouth to new resort and infrastructure projects — relies on tipper trucks and mixers, many running 20-inch rims.
Freight runs between Saint John's, All Saints, Parham, Liberta and Willikies traverse a mix of paved main roads and unpaved tracks in tropical heat and coastal salt air — conditions that demand durable, high-quality tyres.
Hanksugi supplies 11.00R20 tyres to fleets across the Caribbean and internationally. Container orders arrive DDP, with all freight, customs clearance and last-mile delivery included in the price.
The 11.00R20 is used on heavy trucks with 20-inch rims. Typical vehicles include Mercedes-Benz 1620 and 1634, earlier Ford Cargo models, Volkswagen Worker and Constellation, Dongfeng, FAW, Sinotruk HOWO, Foton, tipper trucks, concrete mixers and specialist heavy-duty vehicles with 20-inch rims.
The main difference is the rim diameter: the 11.00R20 uses a split 20-inch rim and requires a tube, while the 11R22.5 uses a one-piece 22.5-inch tubeless rim. Both have a similar section width of 11 inches, but they are not interchangeable. The right choice depends on the rim type fitted to your vehicle.
Yes. The 11.00R20 is fitted to split 20-inch rims that require an inner tube and flap. Ensure you use the correct tube and flap size to avoid premature failures. Hanksugi can supply tubes and flaps together with the tyres on request.
Yes. Although the global trend is towards tubeless 22.5-inch rims, the 11.00R20 remains in active production because large numbers of trucks across the Caribbean, Africa and Asia continue to operate on 20-inch rims.
