295/75R22.5 Drive Tires — Built for the Power Axle

The drive axle takes the most punishment. It delivers torque, handles acceleration, and takes the brunt of wet-road traction demands. Choose the wrong drive tire and you'll feel it in fuel costs and tread wear within 50,000 miles.

What to Look for in a 295/75R22.5 Drive Tire

Every serious drive tire for this size needs three things:

Deep lug tread or closed-shoulder pattern for traction and self-cleaning
Stone ejectors in the grooves to prevent casing damage
Retread-ready casing — retreading can triple the value of a premium drive casing

16 ply (Load Range H) is the standard spec for fully loaded Class 8 semi trucks. Load Range G (14 ply) suits lighter regional and medium-duty applications.

Top 295/75R22.5 Drive Tire Applications

Application	Recommended Tire Type	Key Feature
Long-haul / line-haul	Closed-shoulder drive	Low rolling resistance, high mileage
Regional / pick-up-delivery	Mixed-service drive	Balanced traction & durability
Construction / dump trucks	Open-shoulder drive	Maximum traction, puncture resistance
Fleet operations	SmartWay-verified drive	Fuel efficiency compliance

295/75R22.5 Steer Tires, Precision Up Front

Steer tires carry the lead axle. They control handling, directional stability, and driver confidence. A worn or underspec'd steer tire is a safety issue — not just a wear issue.

295/75R22.5 Steer Tire Must-Haves

Good steer tires in this size share a few non-negotiable traits:

-- Ribbed or multi-rib tread pattern for precise steering response
-- Wide solid outer rib to prevent shoulder wear and improve cornering
-- Four-steel-belt construction for casing integrity and retreadability
-- Stone ejector grooves to protect the casing from road damage

Steer tires in 295/75R22.5 typically carry Load Range G (14 ply) for standard Class 8 steer axles. Some operators spec Load Range H (16 ply) on heavy-haul or oversize-load vehicles.

Best Fit: 295/75R22.5 Steer Tires by Route Type

Route Type	What You Need
Interstate highway	Long-wear rib tire with fuel efficiency rating
Urban delivery	Shorter tread depth for tighter handling
Mixed highway/city	All-position capable steer tire
Winter routes	All-season compound rated for cold flexibility

295/75R22.5 All-Position Tires, One Tire, Every Axle

All-position tires in 295/75R22.5 work on steer, drive, and trailer axles. They're the go-to for fleets running multiple axle configs and operators who want to simplify inventory.

They sacrifice a small margin of drive traction versus a dedicated drive tire. But for regional routes, last-mile delivery, and lighter-duty Class 6–7 trucks, the tradeoff is worth it.

Brands like Double Coin, Aufine, and Falken offer strong all-position options in this size at competitive price points. These tires suit:

-- Box trucks and delivery vans (Class 5–7)
-- Pickup and delivery routes
-- Service vehicles and utility trucks
-- Interstate buses

What Does 295/75R22.5 Mean?

This size label tells you everything you need to know before you buy.

295 — Section width in millimeters (approximately 11.6 inches)
75 — Aspect ratio; sidewall height is 75% of the section width
R — Radial construction
22.5 — Rim diameter in inches

The result: an overall diameter of approximately 39.9–40.4 inches and a load capacity up to 6,175 lbs per tire at single load index 144. This size fits any standard 22.5-inch commercial wheel, steer, drive, and trailer axles all accept it.

295/75R22.5 is the metric equivalent of the older 11R22.5 designation. These two sizes share near-identical rolling circumferences and work on the same rims. If your truck spec says 11R22.5, you can run 295/75R22.5 without ABS or speedometer issues.

295/75R22.5 Tire Specs at a Glance

Spec	Value
Section Width	~11.6 in (295 mm)
Overall Diameter	~39.9–40.4 in
Rim Diameter	22.5 in
Approved Rim Width	7.5–9.0 in
Load Range G (14 Ply)	Load Index 144/141 — up to 6,175 / 5,675 lbs
Load Range H (16 Ply)	Load Index 146/143 — up to 6,610 / 6,005 lbs
Speed Rating	L (75 mph) or M (81 mph)
Tread Depth Range	17/32 – 27/32 depending on model

Load Range G vs. Load Range H — Which Do You Need?

This is the most common question buyers ask before choosing 295/75R22.5 truck tires. Here's the straight answer:

	Load Range G (14 Ply)	Load Range H (16 Ply)
Ply Rating	14 PR	16 PR
Load Index (Single)	144	146
Max Load (Single)	6,175 lbs	6,610 lbs
Max Load (Dual)	5,675 lbs	6,005 lbs
Best For	Regional, medium-duty, Class 6–7	Fully loaded Class 8, heavy haul
Inflation Pressure	Lower	Higher
Ride Quality	Slightly softer	Firmer

Rule of thumb: If you regularly run at or near GVWR on Class 8 equipment, spec Load Range H. For Class 6–7 trucks or lightly loaded Class 8 regional work, Load Range G is adequate and often delivers a better ride. See US DOT axle load regulations → for compliance reference.

Fuel Efficiency: Why 295/75R22.5 Beats 11R22.5 on MPG

Fleets switching from 11R22.5 to 295/75R22.5 report measurable fuel savings. The narrower section width reduces aerodynamic drag. Paired with a low-rolling-resistance compound, the step-down in size can improve fuel efficiency by up to 3%.

For a truck running 120,000 miles per year, a 3% fuel improvement saves hundreds of dollars annually per unit. Multiply that across a 50-truck fleet and the number becomes significant.

SmartWay-certified 295/75R22.5 tires meet EPA's fuel efficiency thresholds. See the full EPA SmartWay certified vehicles list → for verified models. Look for the SmartWay logo when browsing tires on this page.

Retreadability — The Hidden Value of Premium Casings

A retread-ready 295/75R22.5 casing extends the total tire value dramatically. Premium brands engineer their casings to accept multiple retread cycles. Some linehaul drive casings support up to 4 retreads across their service life.

That means a single $400 drive tire casing retreaded four times at roughly $150 per retread, delivers over 600,000 miles of total service for under $1,000. Cost-per-mile drops dramatically compared to replacing tires outright.

At New American Tires Hub, we carry 295/75R22.5 tires from brands with documented retread compatibility. Filter by "Retread Compatible" using the sidebar on this page to find eligible casings.

How to Choose the Right 295/75R22.5 Tire: Step-by-Step

Use this checklist before you add to cart:

-- Confirm axle position: steer, drive, trailer, or all-position
-- Check GVWR: match load range to your vehicle's max axle load
-- Identify your route type: linehaul, regional, P&D, or construction
-- Set your priority: mileage, fuel efficiency, traction, or price
-- Check SmartWay requirement: mandatory for EPA-compliant fleets
-- Consider retread program: if you retread, buy a retread-ready casing

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles use 295/75R22.5 tires?

This size fits Class 7 and Class 8 commercial trucks including semi trucks, dump trucks, box trucks, flatbeds, and interstate buses. It works on steer, drive, and trailer axle positions and fits any standard 22.5-inch commercial wheel.

Is 295/75R22.5 the same as 11R22.5?

They are close but not identical. The 295/75R22.5 is the metric format; the 11R22.5 uses the older imperial system. Their rolling circumferences are nearly the same, and both fit 22.5-inch rims. Most Class 8 trucks accept either size interchangeably. The 295/75R22.5 offers a small fuel efficiency advantage, up to 3% better MPG in some applications.

What is the load capacity of a 295/75R22.5 tire?

Load Range G (14 ply) supports up to 6,175 lbs single and 5,675 lbs dual. Load Range H (16 ply) supports up to 6,610 lbs single and 6,005 lbs dual. Always match load range to your vehicle's max axle load.

What is the difference between 295/75R22.5 drive tires and steer tires?

Drive tires use a lug or closed-shoulder tread pattern to maximize traction on the power axle. Steer tires use a rib or multi-rib pattern for precise directional control and stable handling. Mismatching tire type to axle position causes irregular wear and poor handling.

Do 295/75R22.5 tires come in 16 ply?

Yes. Load Range H equals 16 ply rating. Most semi truck operators running fully loaded Class 8 equipment spec 16-ply in this size. Load Range G (14 ply) suits lighter applications.
