CMVSS 119 CERTIFIED PORT SAINT JOHN M+S WINTER COMPOUND BILINGUAL SERVICE NEW BRUNSWICK

New Brunswick Commercial Truck Tires

Port Saint John energy terminal, Moncton Atlantic distribution hub, Trans-Canada Hwy 2 through Fredericton and Edmundston, and Irving Oil refinery haul — engineered for Maritime winter, bilingual English/French fleet operations, and US-Maine cross-border freight.

CMVSS 119 certified · Transport Canada compliant · M+S winter compound · Three-retread / ~600,000 km platform · Bilingual English/French fleet support

New Brunswick is Atlantic Canada's commercial crossroads — and Hanksugi commercial truck tires carry the freight that moves through it. The province is the only officially bilingual province in Canada (English and French), home to Canada's largest refinery at Irving Oil Saint John (320,000 bbl/day), the third-largest port in Canada by tonnage (Port Saint John), and Moncton — the Atlantic distribution hub for Sobeys, Costco, and national LTL carriers serving all four Atlantic provinces.

The provincial backbone is Trans-Canada Hwy 2 (513 km from the NS border at Aulac through Moncton, Fredericton, and Edmundston to the Québec border at Dégelis) — the primary corridor moving Halifax intermodal freight to Montréal and Toronto, and US Northeast freight west through New England. Hanksugi HS88 long-haul steer and HS78 FARAON drive deliver three-retread service at approximately 600,000 km per casing on this heavy-duty-cycle intermodal and energy corridor.

Hwy 1 Saint John carries Port Saint John energy terminal freight west to the Maine border at St. Stephen–Calais; Hwy 95 connects Woodstock with Houlton, Maine (I-95); and Hwy 17 serves northern forestry from Saint-Léonard to Campbellton. Every Hanksugi casing carries M+S winter marking for Maritime snow, freezing rain, and salt exposure, and meets both Transport Canada CMVSS 119 and US FMVSS 119/139 for seamless cross-border operation.

New Brunswick Fleet FAQ

Are Hanksugi tires certified for commercial use in New Brunswick?

Yes. Every Hanksugi commercial truck tire carries CMVSS 119 certification and meets Transport Canada safety standards required by NB Department of Transportation & Infrastructure and the National Safety Code for highway use on TCH Hwy 2, Hwy 1, and all provincial truck routes.

Does Hanksugi support Port Saint John energy and container fleets?

Yes. Port Saint John is the third-largest port in Canada by tonnage, anchored by the Irving Oil refinery (the largest in Canada at 320,000 bbl/day) plus the DP World Saint John container terminal. Hanksugi supplies CMVSS-119 casings engineered for tanker, dry-van, and container-chassis drayage from DP World Saint John and the Irving Oil marine terminal.

What winter rating do I need for New Brunswick highways?

New Brunswick commercial fleets use M+S-marked compounds for heavy Maritime winter precipitation — deep snow, freezing rain, and salt exposure. Hanksugi HS28+ Titan Trax drive carries M+S marking and the open-shoulder tread required for TCH Hwy 2, Hwy 1, and Hwy 17 northern winter runs.

Does Hanksugi have dealers in Moncton and Saint John?

Yes. Hanksugi Canada authorized dealers serve Moncton (Atlantic distribution hub), Saint John (port and Irving refinery), Fredericton, Bathurst, Edmundston, and Miramichi. Fleet managers can request a New Brunswick dealer introduction through our Canadian fleet desk.

For the 513-km TCH Hwy 2 corridor from the Nova Scotia border at Aulac through Moncton, Fredericton, and Edmundston to the Québec border at Dégelis, Hanksugi recommends HS88 long-haul steer and HS78 FARAON drive — the Maritime-to-Montréal long-haul platform that matches Halifax intermodal and Port Saint John energy freight.

Can New Brunswick fleets cross into the US with Hanksugi tires?

Yes. Hanksugi casings meet Transport Canada CMVSS 119 and US FMVSS 119/139 standards. New Brunswick carriers routinely cross at St. Stephen–Calais, Woodstock–Houlton, and Edmundston–Madawaska into Maine without tire compliance exceptions, supporting Maritime-to-New-England freight flow.
