Wide base (super single) tyres for Anguillian fleets looking to reduce weight and improve fuel economy. 2 Hanksugi models with HATT Technology: HS168 for the steer axle and HS268 for the drive axle.
The 385/65R22.5 is the most widely used wide base tyre size (super single or wide base) in modern commercial transport in Anguilla. With 385 mm of section width, a single wide base tyre replaces a pair of conventional dual tyres, offering Anguillian fleets a weight reduction of up to 400 kg per vehicle, fuel savings of 4-8% and a lower maintenance cost by reducing the total number of tyres. Hanksugi offers 2 models in this size with HATT Technology: the HS168 for the wide base steer axle and the HS268 for the wide base drive axle, both DOT certified for operation on Anguilla's roads.
In the designation 385/65R22.5, the number 385 indicates the section width in millimetres — significantly wider than a standard 295 mm tyre. The 65 is the aspect ratio: the sidewall equals 65% of the width, producing a relatively low profile of approximately 250 mm. The R confirms radial construction and 22.5 is the rim diameter. The contact footprint of a single 385/65R22.5 tyre covers approximately the same width as two 11R22.5 or 295/75R22.5 tyres mounted in dual, which is why a single wide base tyre can replace the dual pair at each axle position.
Hanksugi offers 2 specialised models in size 385/65R22.5, designed specifically for the wide base configuration with HATT Technology.
Wide base steer tyre with four wide ribs for superior directional stability. Low rolling resistance compound optimised for fuel economy on Anguilla's roads.
See HS30 →Wide base drive tyre with deep blocks and wide drainage channels. Excellent grip in wet and dry, replacing the dual configuration on the drive axle.

By replacing two dual tyres with a single wide base tyre at each position, approximately 400 kg of dead weight per vehicle is eliminated. This translates directly into greater useful payload capacity, particularly relevant for fleets operating at the legal weight limits on Anguilla's roads.
A wide base tyre generates lower rolling resistance than two dual tyres together, resulting in fuel savings of 4-8% depending on operating conditions. On Anguilla's daily haulage routes (The Valley–Blowing Point, The Valley–Island Harbour, Sandy Ground–East End), this saving represents thousands of dollars in fuel per vehicle per year.
With fewer tyres per vehicle (6 wide base versus 18 dual on a typical 3-axle tractor unit), the cost of inspection, rotation, balancing and replacement is reduced. It also eliminates the problem of uneven pressures between dual tyres, which is a common cause of uneven wear and premature failures.
Hanksugi 385/65R22.5 tyres comply with the international standards recognised in Anguilla for commercial tyres, including DOT certification of the USA and ECE R54 marking. The casings are designed with HATT Technology to withstand 2 guaranteed retread cycles, delivering 3 tread lives. Given the higher unit cost of a wide base tyre compared with a standard tyre, retreadability is critical to maximising the return on investment of every casing.
It is a wide base tyre (super single) with 385 mm of section width that replaces a pair of conventional dual tyres. A single tyre covers the same contact width as two standard tyres, reducing weight, improving fuel economy and simplifying maintenance for Anguillian fleets.
Premium brands cost considerably more per unit. Hanksugi offers 385/65R22.5 tyres with HATT Technology from $350 USD per tyre on full container orders, with savings of 30-45% compared with premium brands. Contact juan@hanksugi.com for an up-to-date quote.
Weight reduction of up to 400 kg per vehicle, fuel savings of 4-8%, lower maintenance cost (fewer tyres to inspect and rotate), elimination of the problem of uneven pressures between duals, and greater useful payload capacity by reducing dead weight.
Yes. Hanksugi 385/65R22.5 tyres comply with the DOT and ECE R54 requirements for operation on Anguilla's roads. The single wide base tyre configuration is permitted and is increasingly common in modern fleets in Anguilla.
Yes. The casings support 2 guaranteed retreads. Given the higher cost of a wide base tyre, retreadability is even more valuable, delivering 3 tread lives per casing and maximising the return on investment.
