Inquiry about Japanese truck tire casings (Revised on July 28th 2023)
When you order tire casings from Japan, we appreciate it if you let us know the sizes you need or are interested in. Japanese casings range from light truck tire sizes to heavy truck and bus sizes, and OTR sizes. Though we can understand which sizes you are inquiring about given your country, it is more efficient when we get to know the sizes.
Some customers want older sizes that are no longer used in Japan such as 1000R20, and 12R22.5. We have some for them, but in that case, we will provide without limitation of DOT year.
We have the following sizes for your order now.
195-225/85R16
215/70R17.5
205/70R17.5
205/80R17.5
225/80/90R17.5
245/70R19.5
265/70R19.5
11R22.5
275/70R22.5
275/80R22.5
295/80R22.5
We are probably able to load the above casings for a lot of containers.
Nowadays, transportation companies use their tires more distances than before because of cost-saving. Additionally, the collection volume of tire casings depends on the Japanese economy. For instance, highway buses couldn’t drive longer than before the pandemic due to the decline in sightseeing demands. Therefore, we have less 295/80R22.5 than before at this moment. Please kindly understand quality and quantity depend on these environments and market conditions.
**Notification**
Caused by heavy inflation since 2022, triggered by the Russian-Ukraine war, new tire prices were also hiked two times in 2023 following the same time prices up in 2022. Not only consumers but also transportation and bus companies are suffering from saving costs now. Therefore, our casing quantities are quite less this year. We apologize for this inconvenience but would like you to understand this environment and order various sizes and grades in one container. Please inquire us first about your requirement.
