Sand and rock wear tires in different ways
Two loaders can run the same size tire and lose them for completely different reasons, depending on what they are working in. Around Yuma that range is wide: loose sand, packed silt, gravel, crushed rock and blasted stone can all be within a short drive of each other.
Sand and fine material wear tread evenly but steadily. It acts like an abrasive. Traction can also be the issue: a tread that bites well on hard ground may dig in or spin on loose material.
Sharp rock cuts. The tread may be far from worn out when a tire is lost to a cut through the tread or a sidewall gash. On rock, the depth and toughness of the tread rubber matter more than the pattern.
Hard, abrasive surfaces with heavy loads generate heat. A tire working hard on a long cycle can be lost to heat long before it wears out or gets cut.
That is why "the same size as last time" is not the whole order. The size is a fact about the machine. The tread type and compound are a decision about the job.
What to tell the store
The machine and the size, then what it works on, how long a typical cycle is, and how the last tires ended their lives: worn out, cut, or something else. That last answer often says more about what to fit next than anything else.
Fitting, repair and supply
A cut tire may be repairable, and the assessment decides it. Damaged rims go to wheel refurbishing, and a site that wants all of this managed on a schedule is mining fleet services. Both are here. The national OTR services page covers the full service.
