    Skid Steer Wheels For FLU419?

    I am not sure of all of thier facilities but they have them in Pennsylvania, Rome Georga, and here in Washington state. I'm certain you could send them wheels to have the tires mounted to. Hope this helps

    Skid Steer Wheels For FLU419?

    There is a 20" low sidewall tubeless Tire that would fit a 20x11 qxqqv 315/55d20 Blackstone OTR brand about 33"od. These tires would likely have to be spun onto a unimog wheel with a semi truck Tire changer.

    foam filled tires

    99% of foam filled tires are "demounted" with a sawzall.

    foam filled tires

    Looks like re ground foam. It could be coming out because its been ran and started breaking down from heat or because the 2 part mix was off. You wont get air back in those tires and you should only run a foam filled tire with the bolt/screw in. If your going to keep them stock time to start...

    foam filled tires

    I wouldnt take that down the hwy there is at lease 250 lbs of foam in each tire. They would work great for a forklift. Could be good motivation to put super singles on.

    foam filled tires

    We are gona need some more info. What size tire? What vehicle? If the tire is foam filled a bolt or screw will be opposite of the valve stem. Foam gets pumped in with the stem at the low point, and the air is released as its filled near the top. What your describing sounds to me like a bias...

    Time for new super singles. Need some wisdom.

    The goodyear mvt will likely wear the best for on road use that design is the closest to the semi truck designs. The void or gap between lugs determins the traction and wear. The wider the gap the more traction offroad and the less wear on road. XML will have the worst wear and best traction. If...

    FMTV Armor plates

    Here is a little nugget of info. If you frame up 2 pieces of plywood and fill full of 3/4" chipped gravel 30-06 won't penetrate it. The gravel absorbs the energy and the holes are too small to let the gravel out. I'm not sure what the difference in weight is, and what kind of metal backing g you...

    M35A3 rim and tire weight.

    What model valve stem is used on V100 Tire tubes?

    A 1400r20 should be the same as a Mich g20. It's the same height maybe a touch wider. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Flat tire

    Additionally ANY moisture inside the tire will cause the powder to clump. Unless you live in the desert I wouldnt use powder. Pvc inserts make a big difference in 2 ways. 1 they are much lighter 2 what little weight they do have is close to the wheel. Part of the issue with the runflats is that...

    Flat tire

    Most civi 16.5 wheels do not have the bump like the flat bead 16" do. I have seen some old 16.5" wheels that did but they were pretty old and pretty narrow.

    Flat tire

    I would add that im not sure why you would want hummer wheels with out a runflat or pvc insert. The whole reason why the wheels are cool is because they are a street legal dual bead lock. If your personal issue is how hard they are to get in and out there are several solutions available that A...

    Tire Leakage

    As much work as it may be... take the tire and wheel off and set it flat on the ground mix hot water and liquid soap with a reasonable ammount to help detect the leak. Pour/spray the mix anywhere where the tire wheel come together or places that must seal. If nothing is easily seen let is sit...

    Mule Wide Tires

    There are lots of brands and tread designs in 26x12x12 its a common size. If you look at atv tires you should be able to find a 28x12x12. The ones in the back of the bed would likely be the burly choice with lots of brand and ply options.
