How To Choose Tyre Tread For Wheel Loaders

Tyres play a very important role as an important accessory of the wheel loader. The choice of tyre tread pattern also has an impact on the working conditions, the choice of tread pattern for wheel loader tyres is mainly based on the specific working environment and usage requirements. Different tread designs have different characteristics and functions to cope with different working environments. The following are some common tyre tread types and their characteristics:

 

 

1. Mining Tire Pattern

 

This tread pattern has excellent drive, traction and braking forces and good wear resistance. It is ideal for use on construction vehicles such as bulldozers and loaders. The design of the cross-groove pattern increases the friction area between the tyre and the ground, which improves the grip of the tyre, thus enhancing driving force and traction. At the same time, its abrasion resistance ensures that the tyre maintains its performance under long hours and high loads. The strong driving force and wear resistance of the mining tire pattern may be even more critical if the loader is required to carry out high loads on rough surfaces.

 

 

2. Normal Tire Pattern

 

This pattern has excellent manoeuvrability, low rotational resistance, low noise, particularly good drainage properties and is less prone to lateral skidding. Whilst the straight groove pattern may be slightly less powerful than the cross groove pattern in terms of driveability and traction, its excellent drainage properties and low noise characteristics may be more suitable in certain operating conditions. For example, if the wheel loader is often working on slippery or muddy surfaces, a normal tire pattern with excellent drainage may be more appropriate.
