The standard size for North American-brand prime movers — Kenworth, Freightliner and International — serving Antigua and Barbuda. 3 Hanksugi models with HATT Technology for steering, drive and trailer with direct fleet pricing.
The 295/75R22.5 is the dominant commercial truck tyre size for North American-brand prime movers. Kenworth, Freightliner, International, Peterbilt and Mack — the brands carrying the bulk of freight between Saint John's port, English Harbour, Jolly Harbour and construction sites across Antigua — come factory-fitted with 295/75R22.5 tyres. The low-profile series 75 sidewall is optimised for fuel economy on well-maintained paved roads, while the 295 mm section width provides excellent stability and load capacity. Hanksugi offers 3 models in this size, covering all three axle positions: steering (HS207), drive (HS81) and trailer (HS62), all with DOT certification for safe operation across Antigua and Barbuda.
In the designation 295/75R22.5, the number 295 indicates the section width in millimetres. The 75 is the aspect ratio: the sidewall height equals 75% of the section width, approximately 221 mm. The R confirms radial construction with steel belts, and 22.5 is the rim diameter in inches. That combination produces a low-profile tyre that reduces rolling resistance compared with series 80 sizes, optimising fuel consumption on well-maintained roads such as those connecting Saint John's to Parham, Old Road and the resort areas along the coast.
In Antigua and Barbuda, the 295/75R22.5 is particularly relevant for fleets operating prime movers on port haulage routes from Saint John's Harbour, construction supply runs to Jolly Harbour and English Harbour, general freight between the capital and All Saints, Bolans, Liberta and Swetes, and inter-island logistics to Codrington on Barbuda. The low-profile construction maximises trailer box height within legal load limits, and the tyre performs well in the tropical heat and coastal salt-air conditions typical of the island.
Hanksugi offers 3 models in size 295/75R22.5, covering all three axle positions with HATT Technology. Direct fleet pricing on full container orders starts from $280 USD per tyre.
