Complete 2026 guide for fleets — the low-profile metric size for 24.5-inch wheels. Hanksugi steer, drive and trailer models with HATT Technology, DOT and NOM certification, ideal for cross-border transport.
The 285/75R24.5 is the low-profile metric size for Class 8 trucks with 24.5-inch wheels, particularly popular in fleets operating cross-border routes between the United States and Mexico under the USMCA (the trade agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada). If your fleet crosses the border regularly via Laredo-Nuevo Laredo, El Paso-Ciudad Juárez, Nogales, Otay Mesa or any other commercial crossing, it is very likely that a significant share of your units run 285/75R24.5 tyres. Hanksugi offers three premium models in this size — steer (HS207), drive (HS88) and trailer (HS86T) — all manufactured with HATT Technology and certified to both DOT and NOM for legal operation in both countries. Direct full-container pricing beats the retail chains by 15-25%, with delivery to yards in the USA and Mexico.
The 285/75R24.5 designation follows the standard metric system. 285 is the section width in millimetres (from sidewall to sidewall). 75 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall equals 75% of the width, that 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 low-profile metric equivalent of the classic imperial 11R24.5. The 24.5-inch wheel is larger than the 22.5 standard, which provides greater ground clearance and is preferred in certain vocational and regional-delivery applications. Combining the larger wheel with the low profile 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 removes any regulatory problem on both sides of the border.
Hanksugi produces three premium models in the 285/75R24.5 size, covering the steer, drive and trailer positions. Direct full-container fleet pricing starts from $295 USD per tyre.
Every Hanksugi 285/75R24.5 tyre is manufactured with HATT Technology and dual DOT + NOM certification. These are the key specifications:

| Section Width | 285 mm |
| Aspect Ratio | 75% (214 mm sidewall) |
| Construction | Radial, steel belts |
| Rim Diameter | 24.5 inches (622 mm) |
| Overall Diameter | ~1,050 mm |
| Number of Plies | 14 (Load Range G) |
| Load Index | 144/141L |
| Maximum Single Load | 2,800 kg |
| Maximum Dual Load | 2,575 kg |
| Maximum Cold Pressure | 760 kPa (110 psi) |
| Speed Index | L (120 km/h) |
| Weight per Tyre | 52-57 kg |

Hanksugi 285/75R24.5 tyres meet both the DOT and FMVSS standards of the United States and the NOM-086-SCFI standard of Mexico at the same time. This dual certification is essential for fleets operating cross-border routes under the USMCA, where trucks must comply with the regulations of both countries. A vehicle with tyres that do not meet the NOM cannot operate legally on Mexican territory, and the same applies to the DOT in the United States. Hanksugi tyres remove this risk with full certification for operation in both markets.
Hanksugi 285/75R24.5 casings withstand up to 2 retread cycles, delivering up to three service lives. For cross-border fleets that cover significant distances between freight points in the USA and Mexico, retread capability is a critical cost-per-kilometre factor that Hanksugi maximises with its HATT Technology.
Fleet managers frequently compare these sizes when fitting out trucks for cross-border or regional-delivery operation:

The 285/75R24.5 size is specified on Class 8 trucks with 24.5-inch wheels, 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 wheel is common, especially on cross-border corridors:
Strong demand from fleets specifying 24.5-inch wheels, especially in regional-delivery and vocational operations in the southern United States. The Texas-Mexico and California-Mexico corridors carry the highest volume for this size.
High demand from cross-border fleets running trucks built to North American specification on 24.5-inch wheels. The Monterrey-Laredo, Ciudad Juárez-El Paso and Tijuana-San Diego corridors account for most of the volume. NOM certification included.
Demand from fleets running imported trucks built to North American specification on 24.5-inch wheels. This segment is smaller than the one for 22.5 sizes but it is growing, especially in long-haul transport operations.
Regional transport fleets in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador running 24.5-wheel trucks imported from the United States represent a significant market for the 285/75R24.5, especially for replacement.
The 285/75R24.5 is used on Class 8 trucks with 24.5-inch wheels, including the Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T680 and T880, Peterbilt 579 and 567, Volvo VNL, International LT, Freightliner M2 and trailers with 24.5-inch wheels. It is especially popular in cross-border USA-Mexico fleets.
The 285/75R24.5 is the low-profile metric equivalent of the imperial 11R24.5. Both use 24.5-inch wheels, 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 widths are similar, the rim diameter is different: 24.5 vs 22.5 inches. These are completely incompatible sizes. Your vehicle must be fitted with 24.5-inch wheels to use 285/75R24.5 tyres.
