Radial or bias: which wheel loader tire is better for my site?

Radial loader tires run cooler, ride smoothly, and often wear more evenly on fleets that travel between sites. Bias tires add rigid sidewalls and impact resistance for slow, harsh duty. Choose by speed, load, and surface mix.

L2 vs L3 vs L5 treads: what do they mean for wheel loaders?

L2 has more open tread for soft ground and self cleaning. L3 balances traction and wear for mixed sites. L5 uses very deep tread and cut resistant compounds for rock and high abrasion areas.

How should I set pressure on wheel loader tires?

Set cold pressure from the manufacturer load and speed tables for your heaviest operating weight, then recheck with temperature and road runs. For charts and setup guides, you can use our dedicated Tire Pressure Calculator.

How can I reduce cuts, chunking, and downtime on loader tires?

Keep pressure correct, avoid overloads, and reduce sharp curb and rock contact. Use cut resistant compounds and appropriate tread depth for the material, inspect daily for embedded debris, and rotate left right on the same axle if wear is uneven.
