Used 11R22.5 truck tires from Japan
USED TIRE JAPAN exports used 11R22.5 truck and bus tires from Japan by the container — running tires and casings both — to importers, wholesalers and retread factories worldwide.
11R22.5 is one of our main TBR sizes, in regular supply, alongside 275/70R22.5, 275/80R22.5 and 295/80R22.5. Japanese commercial vehicles run under strict axle-load and speed regulation, on well-paved roads, with fleet operators who replace tires on a fixed schedule rather than running them to the limit — the source condition behind the stock we export.
What we supply
11R22.5 is sold three ways — used tires with their original tread, used tires that have already been retreaded, and, selected separately, casings for retread factories.
Used Original Tire
Running tires with their original tread, not retreaded — first-life used tires as removed from Japanese commercial vehicles, sourced from tire shops, fleet operators and dismantling yards across Japan.
Used Retread Tire
Running tires that have already been retreaded once. Tell us whether you want original-tread stock only, or whether retreaded tires are acceptable for your market, at the quotation stage.
Casing Tire
Sold separately from running stock, selected for the carcass rather than the tread. Tell us up front if you want casings — whether you accept casings already retreaded once or first-life only, any DOT/production-week age limit, and your position on repaired casings and sidewall marks.
Container loading
A 40ft container of 11R22.5 running tires alone holds 288 pieces. A 40ft container of 11R22.5 casings holds 294 pieces.
Most buyers mix sizes rather than run a single-size container. A combination we ship often:
- 11R22.5 — 150 pieces
- 225/80R17.5 — 180 pieces
- 245/70R19.5 — 50 pieces
TBR loads together with LTR (light truck) tires in the same container, and LTR loads together with PCR. Not every combination works every month — confirm with us before you plan the load. A 20ft container is available for a first trial order.
Real export cases
Numbers from our published monthly Loading Reports — actual shipments, not projections. Four separate single-size 11R22.5 loads, four independent months, all landing at 288–292 pieces. The four below are a sample; every month since 2021 is in the used tire export reports.
11R22.5 also ships mixed with other sizes: 704 pcs (PC, LT and TBR with 225/80R17.5) to Africa in February 2026, and 296 pcs (LT and TBR with 265/70R19.5) to Southeast Asia in April 2026.
Condition and brands
Our stock comes from tire shops, fleet operators and dismantling yards across Japan, so the brand mix is simply whatever is fitted on Japanese vehicles — Bridgestone, Yokohama, Toyo, Dunlop, Falken, Goodyear, Michelin and Continental — along with other brands sold in the Japanese market.
We work only with partner yards that run their own inspection before tires are packed. Tell us the minimum tread depth and the sizes you sell most, and we will confirm what our yards can actually gather before you commit to a booking. We would rather tell you a size is short this month than load something you cannot sell.

Shipping and CIF
We ship from all major Japanese ports — Ishikari, Tomakomai, Hachinohe, Akita, Sendai, Niigata, Kashiwazaki, Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe and Moji — depending on where the stock is gathered. For what CIF actually includes, see What Does CIF Include When You Buy Used Tires from Japan?
Where we ship
Our monthly Loading Reports show 11R22.5 recurring most often to Central America, with mixed-load shipments also going to Southeast Asia and Africa (see Real Export Cases above).
One specific, named shipment: an 11R22.5 truck tire container and an 11R22.5/12R22.5 casing container both shipped to Balboa, Panama — documented in our export videos below. Panama sits in Central America, consistent with the pattern in the Loading Reports, and we already have a Panama import guide with port and container detail for that market.
