Question 19
Posted by Phil on November 8, 2004
I am told that it is getting harder to find Low Profile 24.5 casings. What can you tell me about the future of this tire size casings?? Is the industry moving away from this tire size??
There has been a slight downward trend in the popularity of Low Profile 24.5 casings. Data collected by Modern Tire Dealer on the most popular radial medium truck tire sizes shows that tire shipments of 295/75R22.5 have declined from 11.7% of all shipments in 2000 to 10.5% of all shipments in 2003. While the statistics show a decline in use Low Profile 24.5 casings, this size is holding steady and is still in the top 5 casing size purchases for radial medium truck tires. You don’t need to worry about availability anytime soon.
