20-inch rim tyres for construction vehicles, tipper lorries and heavy-haul in Antigua and Barbuda. Hanksugi model with HATT Technology for drive axle in demanding operating conditions.
The 12.00R20 is an imperial-designation tyre size used on heavy-haul trucks, tipper lorries, construction vehicles and vocational units that operate on 20-inch rims in Antigua and Barbuda. Unlike the 22.5-inch rim sizes that dominate long-haul transport, the 12.00R20 is designed for applications where rim robustness, tall sidewall height and impact resistance matter more than high-speed highway performance. Hanksugi offers this size with HATT Technology — the HS68 for drive axle — designed for the demanding conditions of construction, port haulage and heavy material transport across Antigua.
In the designation 12.00R20, the number 12.00 indicates the section width in inches (approximately 305 mm), the R confirms radial construction with steel belts, and 20 is the rim diameter in inches. The 20-inch rim is smaller but more robust than the 22.5-inch rim, producing a tyre with a taller sidewall that better absorbs impacts from uneven terrain, severe potholes and construction site surfaces. The overall diameter is approximately 1,085 mm with a weight of 60–72 kg per tyre depending on the model and number of plies.
Hanksugi offers this size in 12.00R20 with HATT Technology, covering the drive axle for vocational and heavy-haul applications.

Yes. They carry DOT certification and meet ECE R54 requirements for commercial tyres, making them suitable for use on Antigua and Barbuda's road network including coastal highways and port access routes.
Both sizes have similar widths (~305 mm), but the 12.00R20 uses a 20-inch rim (more robust, taller sidewall) while the 12R22.5 uses a 22.5-inch rim. The 12.00R20 is better suited to difficult terrain and construction sites, while the 12R22.5 is more common in highway transport.
