MeatMan Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 This is for an off road loader. I keep seeing that the first number should be the tire height and second the rim size, but that can't be true. I'm researching a Pettibone Cary-lift. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic below shows the tire that I'm looking to size. If what it shows, and what I've read previously is true, then the diameter of the there should be 23.5", and the width should be 25. However looking at the pic its clear to see that the width is not greater than the height. Thus my confusion. After thinking about the size, I realize that the 23.5 has to be the height of the sidewall, because these tires are massive, but the article doesn't say that.

What am I missing? the tyre would be measured to the seat of the bead so being industrial there could be 3 inches behind the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that tire is close to 4 feet tall, way more than 23.5". In my updated reply I figured that the 23.5 has to be the sidewall height, but I can't say for sure.

MeatMan Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 After digging deeper, I think these go by tractor tire and skip loader specs, which are tire width, then rim diameter. Making it 23.5" wide with a 25" rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
