Wholesale Tire Size Guide
Read common tire markings and prepare an accurate multi-size list for truckload and container orders.
A clear size list is the foundation of a reliable wholesale quote. Include the full sidewall marking, tire category, requested quantity, brand preference, and intended market for every line.
The same rim diameter can cover very different tires. Load index, construction, application, and commercial markings matter just as much as width and profile, especially for truck, trailer, OTR, agricultural, and industrial orders.

What you need to know
Copy the complete marking
Record every letter and number exactly as shown, including prefixes, suffixes, load indexes, speed symbols, ply ratings, or commercial markings.
- Do not send only the rim diameter
- Keep C, LT, ST, flotation, and commercial markings
- Separate alternative sizes from required sizes
Confirm application
Tell us whether the tire is for passenger, SUV, light truck, van, truck and bus, trailer, OTR, agricultural, or industrial use.
- Include steer, drive, trailer, or all-position needs
- Name the vehicle or equipment type when known
- State tube-type, tubeless, solid, or pneumatic requirements
Match load requirements
Load index, ply rating, load range, and single or dual use must meet the vehicle, axle, equipment, and destination requirements.
- Never select by physical dimensions alone
- Confirm commercial axle loads
- Use manufacturer data for final fitment approval
Build a market-ready mix
Wholesale buyers can combine sizes, categories, and brands to reach the 1,500-tire minimum while keeping each line aligned with actual customer demand.
- Add a quantity to every size
- Identify must-have and substitute brands

Size formats
Common formats across wholesale categories
Use these as reading examples only. Final specifications must match the intended vehicle, equipment, axle, and market requirements.
Light Truck
LT265/70R17 121/118S
LT identifies light-truck service. Dual load indexes may show single and dual-wheel capacity.
Light Commercial / Van
225/75R16C 121/120R
The C suffix identifies commercial construction; confirm load index and axle requirements.
Truck & Bus
295/80R22.5 152/148M
Commercial truck sizes use heavy load indexes and common 17.5, 19.5, 22.5, or 24.5 inch rims.
Trailer
385/65R22.5
Trailer orders should include axle position, load requirement, application, and any regional specification.
OTR / Earthmover
23.5R25
OTR sizes often pair with service type, ply or star rating, pattern, compound, and equipment application.
Agricultural
18.4R38
Agricultural sizes may use conventional or metric formats. Include front or rear position and equipment use.
Industrial / Forklift
7.00-12
Confirm pneumatic, solid, or press-on construction plus rim, load, and machine requirements.
Avoid delays
Four common wholesale size-list mistakes
Rim only
Writing only 16, 17, or 22.5 does not identify width, profile, construction, or load capacity.
Missing load data
Commercial and equipment tires need the correct load range, index, ply, or star rating.
No application
State the vehicle, axle position, equipment type, or service so the requested line can be reviewed correctly.
No line quantities
Give a quantity for every size, not only one total, so sourcing and container planning remain accurate.
