Loader tyres

[Furniss]

These any good ? Asking for a mate

 

[DaveDCB]

Won’t go wrong with a Michelin, always go Radial if you can justify the extra cost

 

[hiluxman]

I'd go Michelin too

why? ..... you won't beat a hard wall cross ply for load carrying

 

[GazCro]

Depends what they are going on

 

[Furniss]

Those camso are a fair saving

They are but they are s**t. I'd rather have bkt's than camso.

The Michelin XMCL (radial) have a higher ply rating than the CL.. I’ve used both, and the radial version far out performed the standard crossply CL. But who knows these days, been afew years since I’ve had to buy any!

Bkt tyres have vastly improved in recent years. There loader tyres are actually really good. Loads of farms round here using there multimax. One farm with 4 telehandlers all on them

BKTS ?

Same here I seem to think it's BKT 204 or something like that

 

[GazCro]

What are they going on?
What will it be travelling on?
Does it do a lot of hours?
If yard based you don't need an ag tyre and if low hours they'll dry out and crack before they wear out anyway so i wouldn't spend extra for the premium hard wearing brand to begin with.

Farm telehandler ....bits of all sorts from mixer wagon to carting fencing round field - 700 hrs a year about.

 

[Smiffy]

Tell him to ask for a price on bkt and see what he thinks then

Proper ag spec handler tyres (not just an ag spec industrial tyre) are a lot better off hard surfaces than industrial tyres as they are manufactured with a square profile so the tread sits flat on the ground and possibly will carry load at lower pressures to spread weight better but do come at a premium price. Those Michelins on ur pic are as far as i can tell just an ag pattern industrial tyre which at that price I'd be costing some bkts. I've recently put 4 of these on my loadall for £350 +vat each fitted, but I'm not interested in field work unless it's a drought
