Which positions this size comes in
Not every size is made for every axle. These are the positions 445/65R22.5 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.
DrivePowered axles
The tires that put the engine's torque on the road, usually eight of them in dual pairs on two axles. Deep, blocky lug tread for traction, which is why they are noisier and wear faster than a steer tire. This is the position where a good retread saves real money.
TrailerFree-rolling axles
Free-rolling tires that neither steer nor drive, so they are built for scrub resistance and low rolling resistance rather than grip. They get dragged sideways every time the rig turns tight, and that is what kills them. Cheapest tire per mile of the three positions.
Load index and speed rating
The most common markings on 445/65R22.5 are 169K, 168K and 169J. 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.

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.
