Buy for the surface, not just the machine
The usual way to buy an equipment tire is to read the size off the old one and order the same again. The size has to match. What gets missed is that the same machine can need a very different tire depending on where it works.
A loader on a gravel yard, the same loader on a demolition site, and the same loader moving soil on a new subdivision are three different jobs for its tires.
Rock and demolition debris. Cuts and punctures are the main enemy. A deeper tread and a cut-resistant construction earn their cost here.
Soft soil and mud. Traction and flotation matter more than cut resistance. An open tread that cleans itself keeps the machine moving.
Hard surfaces and pavement. A machine that spends its day on concrete or asphalt wears an aggressive lug tread quickly. A tread built for hard surfaces lasts longer.
Mixed work. Most contractors' machines do a bit of everything, and the right tire is the one that suits the work that wears tires out, usually the roughest surface the machine sees regularly.
What to tell the store
The machine, the size, and where it really spends its hours. Say what has been ending its tires: cuts, wear, or loss of traction. That is more useful than the brand of the last set.
Fitting and repairs
A cut OTR tire may be repairable, and the assessment decides it. Rims that are bent or corroded are wheel refurbishing, and a site that wants its tires managed as a program is mining fleet services, both at this store. The national OTR services page covers fitting, repair and supply.
