Low pro 22.5,
Price
Availability
And low pro because taller rubber (usually more tread) results in more tire scrub in tight turning.
More than that needs to know your fieldGod prefers Diesels and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
Van. Low pro 22.5 that's what most van/reefer run

You need to look at the rolling resistance of any kind of tire at, AMBT, or something like that, just look up truck tire rolling resistance and it will send you to the website?

Availability and fuel efficiency. Lighter tires of a given brand and model will be more fuel efficient. Every tire shop you might need has LP 22.5 of some sort.

11r means "tall rubber, so none of those
As for the 275 80r to 295 75r
80s are .3 % odometer reading different than 75s, bigger difference between new and old tires
295 vs 285 vs 275... marginal differences to surface contact, this "tire width" and has some bearing on rolling resistance and weight rating, but better off simply specifying one tire in any of those at the best price -
With lo-pros sometimes it is hard to get over some pits to unload.
