The 2026 fleet buyer's guide to the Class 6/7 medium-duty standard — load index, spec sheet, pricing, and the Hanksugi regional lineup for box trucks, city delivery, and light-tractor fleets across the Americas.
245/70R19.5 is the medium-duty commercial standard for Class 6 and Class 7 trucks — the 26,000 to 33,000 lb GVWR fleet vehicles that move everything from packages and furniture to beverages, food-service deliveries, parcel-hub spokes, and municipal services. If your fleet runs box trucks, walk-in step vans, city-delivery tractors, beverage-body trucks, moving trucks, smaller dumps, or landscape-haul tractors, you are almost certainly buying 245/70R19.5 tires. This is the dominant medium-duty size across every major US and Canadian parcel, delivery, retail, rental, and municipal fleet. This page is the complete 2026 buyer's guide — what the sidewall numbers mean, which Hanksugi models fit, spec data, pricing, vehicle fitments, and how 245/70R19.5 compares to its Class 6/7 alternatives.
Reading the sidewall: 245 is the section width in millimeters — roughly 9.6 inches. 70 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 70% of the section width, or about 172 mm (6.8 inches). R indicates radial construction. 19.5 is the rim diameter in inches — the distinctive mid-size wheel diameter that separates medium-duty Class 6/7 trucks from the 22.5-inch Class 8 standard above it and the 16-17 inch Class 4/5 standard below it. A 245/70R19.5 mounts on a 19.5 × 6.75 or 19.5 × 7.50 wheel, has an overall diameter of approximately 33.0 inches, and weighs 75-85 lbs per tire depending on ply rating and tread depth.
The 19.5-inch rim diameter is deliberately specified for medium-duty trucks because it delivers the right balance of load capacity and deck-height management. A 22.5-inch tire is too tall for a typical Class 6 box truck's 48-52 inch floor height, while a 17.5-inch tire lacks the load capacity for 33,000 lb GVWR applications. The 19.5 sits in the sweet spot: enough tire for the work, small enough for the deck height, and available in both drive and all-position tread designs for position-specific optimization on 2-front + 4-rear dual-wheel medium-duty chassis.
Hanksugi offers 245/70R19.5 in two premium models engineered for medium-duty regional and city delivery duty. Direct-to-fleet pallet pricing starts at $220 per tire and scales with volume. Because medium-duty truck tires ship in smaller pallet quantities than full-container Class 8 orders, Hanksugi offers flexible LCL (less than container load) pricing for Class 6/7 fleets below 40 trucks.
All-position medium-duty tire with optimized tread pattern for regional haul and city delivery operations. Exceptional stone-rejection and cut/chip resistance for urban routes with curbs and debris.

View HS38 →Every Hanksugi 245/70R19.5 tire is built to the same core dimensional and load specification, with tread pattern and compound varying by model. Here is the specification sheet Class 6/7 fleet managers actually need:
| Specification | 245/70R19.5 |
|---|---|
| Section Width | 245 mm (9.6 in) |
| Aspect Ratio | 70% (172 mm sidewall) |
| Construction | Radial, all-steel belt |
| Rim Diameter | 19.5 in |
| Overall Diameter | ~33.0 in (838 mm) |
| Recommended Rim | 19.5 × 6.75 or 19.5 × 7.50 in |
| Ply Rating | 14 (Load Range G) |
| Load Index | 136/134M |
| Max Load Single | 4,675 lbs (2,120 kg) |
| Max Load Dual | 4,400 lbs (1,995 kg) |
| Max Cold Pressure | 125 psi (860 kPa) |
| Speed Rating | M (81 mph / 130 km/h) |
| Weight (per tire) | 75-85 lbs (34-38 kg) |
| Retreadable | Yes (1 cap typical for regional duty) |
Class 6/7 fleet managers comparing 19.5-rim sizes typically evaluate 245/70R19.5 (mid-volume standard) against 265/70R19.5 (heavy Class 7) and 225/70R19.5 (light Class 6). The short answer: 245/70R19.5 is the right choice for most Class 6/7 operations because it balances load capacity, wheel-well clearance, and replacement tire availability. Here is the comparison matrix:
| Metric | 245/70R19.5 | 265/70R19.5 | 225/70R19.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall Diameter | 33.0 in | 34.1 in | 31.9 in |
| Load Index (typical) | 136/134M | 143/141J | 128/126M |
| Max Load Single | 4,675 lbs | 5,840 lbs | 3,970 lbs |
| Target Vehicle Class | Class 6/7 (26-33k GVWR) | Class 7/8 light (up to 35k) | Class 6 light (up to 26k) |
| OE Common Fitments | Freightliner M2, International MV | Heavy Class 7 day-cab | Small Class 6, cutaway |
| Recommended Duty | Regional, city, box, LTL | Heavy regional, small tractor | Light delivery, cutaway |
For 80-90% of US medium-duty fleets, 245/70R19.5 is the correct size because it matches the Class 6/7 GVWR range most fleets operate. Fleets running heavier Class 7 day-cab tractors at 33,000 lb GVWR should consider 265/70R19.5 for the additional load margin, particularly in beverage, construction supply, and waste hauling.
Hanksugi prices 245/70R19.5 direct-to-fleet with LCL and pallet pricing flexibility for medium-duty operators. No minimum container requirement — order in pallets of 40, 80, or 120 tires depending on fleet size.
Request Your 245/70R19.5 QuoteFor a typical Class 6 box truck running 6-tire configuration (2 steer + 4 drive dual) at 45,000 miles per year — the average duty cycle for a city-delivery parcel or LTL spoke truck:
For a 40-truck Class 6 delivery fleet running 45,000 miles per truck per year, that CPM savings translates to approximately $14,400-$21,600 per year in total fleet tire cost reduction. Not as dramatic as Class 8 long-haul container savings, but still meaningful for small and mid-size medium-duty operators where tire spend is a measurable line item.
245/70R19.5 is OE and replacement fitment on virtually every mainstream medium-duty truck sold in North America. Common OE fitments include:

Primary applications include box trucks (Freightliner M2, International MV, Hino 268, Isuzu FTR), walk-in step vans (Workhorse, Utilimaster, Morgan-Olson), city delivery trucks, smaller tractor rigs, medium-duty tow trucks, smaller dump trucks, and medium-duty trailer applications. It is the dominant size on 26,000-33,000 lb GVWR commercial vehicles.
The standard Hanksugi 245/70R19.5 medium-duty truck tire carries a load index of 136/134M, delivering 4,675 lbs single and 4,400 lbs dual at 125 psi cold. This supports Class 6/7 trucks up to 33,000 lbs GVWR when installed on a standard 6 × 19.5 wheel configuration (2 front + 4 rear dual).
Yes — 245/70R19.5 is the dominant OE and replacement fitment for medium-duty box trucks including Freightliner M2 106, International MV, Hino 258/268, Isuzu FTR/FVR, Kenworth T270/T370, and Peterbilt 337. It is also used on many 26-foot moving rental trucks (Penske, U-Haul, Ryder, Enterprise Truck Rental) as the standard aftermarket replacement size.
Hanksugi 245/70R19.5 medium-duty tires are priced direct-to-fleet at $220-$340 per tire depending on tread pattern (all-position, drive, steer), load range, and order volume. Class 6/7 fleets running 20+ trucks typically qualify for container-pallet pricing at the low end of the range, delivering 20-30% savings versus national tire chain replacement pricing.
Under typical Class 6/7 regional and city delivery duty cycles with proper inflation and rotation, a premium Hanksugi 245/70R19.5 all-position tire delivers 90,000-140,000 miles of first life. City delivery duty cycles (heavy stop-and-go, frequent curb contact) will be at the lower end. Regional and LTL operations on primarily highway routes will reach the higher end.
