How Many OTR Tires Fit in a 40ft Container? Loading Guide
How many OTR tires fit in a container? Typical 20ft and 40ft HC loads by size, plus tips on mixing sizes to cut freight cost per tire.
Buyers often ask how many OTR tires fit in a container. The answer depends on size, but good planning can add 10 to 20 percent more tires to the same box.

Typical 40ft High-Cube Loads
- 12.00R20 truck tires: about 200 to 230 pieces
- 17.5-25 loader tires: about 60 to 70 pieces
- 23.5-25 loader tires: about 30 to 36 pieces
- 26.5R25: about 18 to 22 pieces
- 29.5R25: about 12 to 14 pieces
Why Mixed Loads Save Money
Small tires can be packed inside large ones. A container of 23.5-25 tires with 12.00R20 truck tires inside can carry far more value for the same freight.
Weight Limits
Very large tires may reach the weight limit before the container is full. We check both volume and weight before quoting.
