Which positions this size comes in
Not every size is made for every axle. These are the positions 12R24.5 is actually sold in.
All-positionFits anywhere
A rib tread that is approved for any axle. Common on dump trucks, mixers, buses and anything that does not run enough miles to justify three separate tire programs. It is a compromise: less traction than a drive tire, shorter life than a dedicated trailer tire.
Load index and speed rating
The most common markings on 12R24.5 are 152/149K, 153B and 152/148K. The pair of numbers is the load index single and dual: the first is what one tire carries on its own, the second what it carries as one of a dual pair, which is always the lower figure. The letter is the speed rating, and on commercial tires it is low by car standards on purpose.

Who makes it
The brands with the most 12R24.5 listings right now: Firestone, Double Coin, Cosmo, Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Roadmaster. On a commercial tire the casing is worth more than the tread, so a premium brand is not only paying for the first life; it is paying for two or three retreads afterwards.
The size people cross-shop against it
11R24.5 – Standard profile on the tall wheel, median $623 against $1,165 here.
Wheel diameter has to match. A low-profile and a standard-profile tire on the same rim are interchangeable on the wheel but not in rolling circumference, so never mix them across a drive axle.
