Last updated: August 2026 dataBus and truck tires are a high-volume commercial segment where the US schedule distinguishes on-highway from off-highway use, light trucks from heavy trucks and buses, and radial from non-radial construction — producing eight distinct 10-digit lines (4011201005 through 4011205050). Thailand is the leading supplier to the US market, with Canada and Japan also prominent, and Vietnam and Cambodia representing growing lower-cost sources. Off-highway lines further split by rim diameter relative to 40.6 cm, a threshold that affects both classification and, in some cases, applicable trade-remedy orders. Importers handling mixed shipments of light-truck and heavy-truck tires should segregate them carefully, as the lines carry different duty treatment.

The US schedule separates light-truck on-highway tires (4011201005 for radial; 4011205010 for non-radial) from heavier bus and truck tires. Classification generally follows the vehicle type the tire is designed and marketed for, as indicated by the manufacturer's load index, speed rating, and product literature — not simply physical size.
Off-highway radial tires with a rim diameter at or above 40.6 cm fall under 4011201025, while those below that threshold fall under 4011201035. The same split applies to non-radial off-highway tires. This threshold aligns with large mining and construction equipment fitments, so importers of earthmover-type tires should confirm the nominal rim size from the tire's specification sheet.
