Complete 2026 guide for fleets — the metric low-profile size for 24.5-inch rims. Hanksugi steering, drive and trailer models with HATT Technology, DOT and NOM certification, ideal for cross-border transport USA-Mexico.
The 285/75R24.5 is the metric low-profile size for Class 8 trucks with 24.5-inch rims, and is especially popular in fleets operating cross-border routes between the United States and Mexico under the USMCA (formerly NAFTA). If your fleet regularly crosses the border via Laredo–Nuevo Laredo, El Paso–Ciudad Juárez, Nogales, Otay Mesa or any other commercial crossing, a significant share of your fleet probably runs on 285/75R24.5 tyres. Hanksugi offers three premium models in this size — steering (HS207), drive (HS88) and trailer (HS86T) — all manufactured with HATT Technology and certified to both DOT and NOM standards for legal operation in both countries. Direct container pricing beats retail chains by 15–25%, with delivery to yards in the USA and Mexico.
The designation 285/75R24.5 follows the standard metric system. 285 is the section width in millimetres (from sidewall to sidewall). 75 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height equals 75% of the width, which is approximately 214 mm. R indicates radial construction with steel belts. 24.5 is the rim diameter in inches (622 mm). The resulting overall diameter is approximately 1,050 mm.
The 285/75R24.5 is the metric low-profile equivalent of the classic imperial 11R24.5. The 24.5-inch rim is larger than the standard 22.5-inch rim, providing greater ground clearance and making it the preferred choice for certain vocational and regional delivery applications. The combination of the larger rim with the low-profile sidewall of the 285/75R24.5 delivers a package that offers good fuel economy without sacrificing the robustness needed for mixed-service operations. For cross-border fleets, the dual DOT and NOM certification of Hanksugi tyres eliminates any regulatory issue on either side of the border.
Hanksugi produces three premium models in size 285/75R24.5 covering the steering, drive and trailer positions. Direct fleet pricing per tyre starts from $295 USD for full-container orders.
Every Hanksugi 285/75R24.5 tyre is manufactured with HATT Technology and holds dual DOT + NOM certification. Key specifications are listed below:

Hanksugi 285/75R24.5 tyres comply simultaneously with the DOT and FMVSS standards of the United States and the NOM-086-SCFI standard of Mexico. This dual certification is essential for fleets operating cross-border routes under the USMCA, where trucks must meet the regulations of both countries. A vehicle fitted with tyres that do not meet NOM cannot legally operate on Mexican territory, and the same applies to DOT requirements in the United States. Hanksugi tyres eliminate this risk with full certification for operation in both markets.
Hanksugi 285/75R24.5 casings support up to 2 retreading cycles, delivering up to three service lives. For cross-border fleets covering significant distances between freight points in the USA and Mexico, retreadability is a critical factor in cost per kilometre — one that Hanksugi maximises with HATT Technology.

The 285/75R24.5 size is specified for Class 8 trucks with 24.5-inch rims, common in cross-border, regional delivery and vocational operations in the United States and Mexico:
Demand for the 285/75R24.5 is concentrated in markets where the 24.5-inch rim is common, particularly on cross-border corridors:
Strong demand among fleets specifying 24.5-inch rims, particularly in regional delivery and vocational operations in the southern United States. The Texas-Mexico and California-Mexico corridors account for the highest volumes in this size.
High demand among cross-border fleets operating American-specification trucks with 24.5-inch rims. The Monterrey–Laredo, Ciudad Juárez–El Paso and Tijuana–San Diego corridors account for the bulk of volume. NOM certification included.
Demand from fleets running North American-specification imported trucks with 24.5-inch rims. The segment is smaller than 22.5-inch sizes but is growing, particularly in port haulage and construction transport operations across the island.
Regional transport fleets in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador operating American-specification trucks with 24.5-inch rims imported from the United States represent a significant replacement market for the 285/75R24.5.
The 285/75R24.5 is used on Class 8 trucks with 24.5-inch rims, including the Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T680 and T880, Peterbilt 579 and 567, Volvo VNL, International LT, Freightliner M2 and trailers with 24.5-inch rims. It is particularly popular with cross-border fleets operating between the USA and Mexico.
The 285/75R24.5 is the metric low-profile equivalent of the imperial 11R24.5. Both use a 24.5-inch rim, but the 285/75R24.5 has a shorter sidewall (214 mm vs 257 mm). The 285/75R24.5 offers better fuel economy, while the 11R24.5 provides greater impact resistance for vocational service.
No. Although the section widths are similar, the rim diameters are different: 24.5 inches versus 22.5 inches. These sizes are completely incompatible. Your vehicle must be fitted with 24.5-inch rims to use 285/75R24.5 tyres.
