The dominant commercial truck tire size across Latin America — 8 Hanksugi models for steer, drive, all-position, and mixed-use applications covering regional distribution, long-haul freight, and construction duty cycles.
295/80R22.5 is the most widely used commercial truck tire size in Latin America and one of the most important sizes in global freight transportation. From the highways of Brazil and Argentina to the mountain passes of Colombia and Peru, 295/80R22.5 is the standard fitment on virtually every major European and Asian truck platform sold across the region. Whether you operate long-haul freight trucks, regional distribution fleets, intercity coaches, construction vehicles, or tanker transports, 295/80R22.5 delivers the ideal combination of load capacity, sidewall durability, and fuel efficiency that mixed LATAM road conditions demand. Hanksugi offers 8 models in this size — the most comprehensive 295/80R22.5 lineup available from any single manufacturer — covering steer, drive, all-position, and mixed-use applications with direct-to-fleet pricing that undercuts major brands by 30-45%.
Reading the sidewall: 295 is the section width in millimeters — approximately 11.6 inches, making this a medium-wide commercial truck tire that balances load capacity with fuel efficiency. 80 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 80% of the section width, or about 236 mm (9.3 inches). That tall sidewall is the defining characteristic of the 295/80R22.5 — it absorbs impacts from rough roads, potholes, and uneven surfaces common across Latin American highway networks while protecting the casing from premature failure. R indicates radial construction with steel belt reinforcement. 22.5 is the rim diameter in inches. A 295/80R22.5 mounts on a standard 22.5 x 9.00 inch wheel, has an overall diameter of approximately 41.1 inches, and weighs 130-155 lbs per tire depending on tread pattern and ply rating.
295/80R22.5 occupies a unique position in the global tire size hierarchy. It is slightly narrower than the heavy-haul 315/80R22.5 but significantly wider and taller than the North American standard 295/75R22.5. The 80-series aspect ratio provides superior impact absorption compared to the 75-series low-profile alternatives, which is precisely why Latin American fleets — operating on road surfaces that range from modern toll highways to unpaved secondary routes — have adopted 295/80R22.5 as their standard size. European truck manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Scania, DAF, MAN, and Iveco all specify 295/80R22.5 as factory-standard fitment on trucks sold into Latin American markets.
Hanksugi offers the widest 295/80R22.5 product lineup available from any single manufacturer — 8 models covering every wheel position and duty cycle. Direct-to-fleet container pricing starts at $320 per tire with full-container loads of approximately 250 tires.

View HS76 →All Hanksugi 295/80R22.5 tires share the same core dimensional and load specification, with tread pattern, compound, and ply rating varying by model. Here are the specifications LATAM fleet managers need:
| Specification | 295/80R22.5 |
|---|---|
| Section Width | 295 mm (11.6 in) |
| Aspect Ratio | 80% (236 mm sidewall) |

| Overall Diameter | ~41.1 in (1,044 mm) |
| Recommended Rim | 22.5 x 9.00 in |
| Ply Rating | 18 (Load Range H) |
| Load Index | 152/148M |
| Max Load Single | 7,385 lbs (3,350 kg) |
| Max Load Dual | 6,610 lbs (3,000 kg) |

The 295/80R22.5 designation follows the standard metric naming convention for commercial truck tires. The number 295 represents the section width in millimeters, measuring approximately 11.6 inches from sidewall to sidewall when mounted and inflated on the recommended rim. The 80 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height equals 80% of the section width, producing a tall 236 mm sidewall that absorbs road impacts and protects the casing during operation on the varied road surfaces found across Latin America. The letter R confirms radial construction with steel belt reinforcement layers, and 22.5 indicates the rim diameter in inches. This combination creates a versatile medium-width commercial truck tire with an overall diameter of approximately 41.1 inches and a weight between 130 and 155 lbs per tire.
295/80R22.5 became the dominant commercial truck size in Latin America because European and Asian truck manufacturers — Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Scania, DAF, MAN, Iveco — specify it as factory-standard fitment on trucks sold across the region. Unlike North America where the 295/75R22.5 low-profile size dominates long-haul, Latin American road conditions demand the taller 80-series sidewall for impact absorption on uneven surfaces, potholes, and mixed-quality highway infrastructure. The result is a tire that handles everything from modern toll highways in Brazil to unpaved secondary routes in Central America, making 295/80R22.5 the single most versatile size for LATAM commercial trucking.
295/80R22.5 fits virtually every major commercial truck platform operating in Latin America. Mercedes-Benz Actros and Atego, Volvo FH and FM series, Scania R and G series, DAF XF and CF, MAN TGX and TGS, Iveco Stralis and Trakker, Ford Cargo, and Volkswagen Constellation all use 295/80R22.5 as their standard size. Applications span long-haul freight, regional distribution, tanker transport, construction haulage, intercity and urban bus and coach service, and agricultural product transport.
Hanksugi is the only manufacturer offering 8 distinct models in the 295/80R22.5 size — covering steer, drive, all-position, and mixed-use applications with standard premium, new generation, and ultra-premium compound options. Direct-to-fleet container pricing at approximately 250 tires per container delivers 30-45% savings versus Michelin, Bridgestone, and Continental retail pricing, making Hanksugi the preferred tire supplier for cost-conscious LATAM fleets that refuse to compromise on quality.
Fleet managers comparing tire sizes for Latin American operations typically evaluate 295/80R22.5 against the North American standard 295/75R22.5 and the heavy-haul 315/80R22.5. The short answer: 295/80R22.5 is the correct choice for the vast majority of LATAM applications because it balances load capacity, fuel efficiency, and sidewall durability for mixed road conditions.

| Sidewall Height | 236 mm (tall) | 221 mm (low-profile) | 252 mm (extra-tall) |
| Load Index (single) | 152M | 146L | 156K |

In the designation 295/80R22.5, the number 295 is the section width in millimeters (about 11.6 inches), 80 is the aspect ratio meaning the sidewall height equals 80% of the section width (about 236 mm), R indicates radial construction, and 22.5 is the rim diameter in inches. This produces a tall-sidewall commercial truck tire with an overall diameter of approximately 41.1 inches, widely used across Latin America for regional and long-haul operations.
295/80R22.5 is the standard because European truck manufacturers (Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Scania, DAF, MAN, Iveco) that dominate the Latin American market specify it as factory fitment. The tall 80-series sidewall absorbs impacts from the varied road quality found across the region, while the 295 mm section width provides good load capacity without excessive rolling resistance. This makes it the ideal compromise for LATAM road conditions.
The key difference is the aspect ratio: 295/80R22.5 has a taller sidewall (236 mm vs 221 mm for 295/75R22.5) which provides better impact absorption on rough roads but slightly higher rolling resistance. 295/80R22.5 is the standard in Latin America and Europe, while 295/75R22.5 is the North American standard optimized for fuel economy on well-maintained US highways. For LATAM operations, 295/80R22.5 is the correct choice.
