tire size
tread design
tread depth
weight requirements
tire size
tire size can be located on the sidewall of the tire and are usually two
sets of numbers, the tire width (sidewall to sidewall) and the rim diameter.
For example 20.5X25
20.5 inches wide and the rim diameter is 25 inches.
If the tire is bias, then there will ne an "x" before the 25
If the tire is radial, there will be an "R" before the 25
Most OLDER loaders are bias and he newer loaders come with radial tires as
original equipment.
tread design
Other than what comes Original Equipment on the loader from the factory,
surface usage is the main factor in choosing a tread design.
An aggressive tread design, called an L-2,is designed for soft surfaces,
such as garden nurseries and mulch yards, while the hard surface or rock
tread, called an L-3, is for quarry and road use.
Load Capacity
The size of the loader and the work load determines the weight requirements
of the tires or tire ply rating. Many loader tires come in 12 ply and up to
20 ply ratings.the higher the ply rating, the more weight carrying capacity
of the tire. A tire's ply rating can be found on the sidewall of the tire.
