How To Determine Skid Steer Tire Size?

Do you ever get the “Deer in the headlights” look whenever you think about replacing your skid steer tires? You look at all the numbers on the sidewall if you can still see them, and find them confusing? Let me explain to you what all those numbers mean.

There are usually 3 numbers, for example, 27x10.5 -15. The first number is the height / The second number is the section width / The third number is the Rim (wheel size). In this case of the example the tire height is 27”, the section width is 10.5”, and the diameter of the rim is 15”.

So ok what if there are only 2 numbers, for example, 10 x 16.5.or 12 x 16.5. This is a little trickier. The last number is always the Rim (wheel) size. In such a case you can estimate the height of the tire by multiplying the section width x 2 and adding the rim size. This isn’t always accurate but will give you a good idea of what to expect.

There are other factors to consider when choosing a tire including; load rating, Ply rating and load index. These are generally determined by the size and operating weight, and maximum load weight of your machine along with the application.

Hopefully, this has cleared a few things up regarding tire sizes and tracks. There is a method to the numbers.Don’t ever hesitate to call us here at (866) 315-3134 for information. We are always happy to give you the best advice available to us.
