Prior to the release of the new size, the tire was offered in low-profile sizes of 295/75R22.5 and 285/75R24.5, along with 11R24.5. Both the standard and low-profile versions of the 22.5-inch tire are available in G and H load ranges.

The FS509 long-haul steer tire features 19/32nds of tread depth with an irregular wear-resistant pattern for long original tire life. It also features an optimized belt package with tough sidewall protection and more.

The tire is EPA SmartWay verified and California Air Resources Board compliant.
