Best Answer

275R22.5 or 275R22.5LPs are the most common. For heavy haulers and straight trucks, depending on the configuration, the steers are more likely to be anything ranging from 315s to 485s, rather than 275s. Some owner/operators also prefer to run 24.5s, rather than 22.5s.

Certainly, the tire manufacturer doesn't make a differance, just the tire size. Michelin make a great car tire, and they are one of the longest lasting "car" tires that can be placed on a car.
