How to choose a tire?

Properly selected tires allow for maximum use of the tire's driving properties and translates into better use of the tractor's power. A correctly selected tire should be in contact with the ground surface with the entire surface of the tread face. Low-profile tires are recommended for large machines used mainly for transport purposes over even and long distances, while high-profile tires are recommended for small and medium-sized vehicles, where the driving characteristics require the use of narrow tires. Tires are divided into two main groups:

• Radial tires / R / (carcass fibers at right angles to the reinforcement of the tire sides). The tire is less resistant to mechanical damage, but more durable and more economical to operate the machine. A tire with a larger contact area can operate at reduced and increased pressure and compacts the ground less. Allows you to change the tasks of field work of the tractor.
• Diagonal tires /D/ (carcass fibers in relation to the reinforcement of the tire sides at an acute angle). The tire is very resistant to mechanical damage, needs high pressure, compacts the ground more. The tire is designed to work in difficult terrain conditions and with constant air pressure.

What tire size?

Tire sizes are usually given in inches (inch; abbreviation or symbol: in or ″) and it is a sequence of numbers and letters denoting the tire width, profile height and construction type, tread type and rim diameter. Tire 205/50-10 is a tire:

• 205 - tire width,
• 50 - tire profile,
• 10 - rim diameter.

Additionally, information about the number of X PR canvases, the speed index, e.g. TT , and the maximum tire load in kg or lbs are provided on the tire.

Dimensions :

• outer diameter: 470 mm (+/- 10 mm),
• rim diameter: 280 mm,
• width: 190 mm (+/- 10 mm),
• number of canvases: FP6,
• load capacity: 385 kg (835 LBS),
• pressure: 45PSI,
• tire size: 205/50-10,
• central hole diameter: 73 mm,
• diameter of holes for mounting screws: 17 mm,
• spacing of holes for mounting bolts: 67 mm measured apart, 108 mm measured diagonally,
• weight: 12.5 kg.

Incorrectly selected tires can damage the tyre, machine or pose a threat to people and animals and affect the comfort of work and operation, e.g. fuel consumption. Maintaining the correct tire pressure allows optimal use of the driving characteristics of the tires, the power of the machine and extends their life.
