Need to replace the tyres on the 3cx soon and she has 18.4 26 cross ply but considering going to radial and possibly an industrial tread
But not sure what to go for
but what are you thought as she spends a lot of time on concrete and stone lanes but try to keep it out of fields but it is our only loader

Michelin bibloads would be a good tyre

My only experience with industrial tread pattern is it didnt last any longer and didnt grip as well.

What brands can you get in radial in the size 18.4 r26 with full agri grip?

Do you do much roadwork, and have you struggled for traction on site previously?

Price both and your call really, ag pattern cross plies will probably be as good as industrial radials for grip.
Unless Goodyear are a different animal than they used to be in the Super Traction Radial days, the beads will crack off the sidewalls long before the tread wears out.

I don't want any breed of an industrial tyre on it. What I want instead is a radial at pattern tyre in tha t size. Sometime like a bkt agrimax but unsure what's the closest to this in this size.

460/85r26 is the modern equivalent of an 18.4r26 and is available in a tractor type tread pattern. 480/80r26 are usually an industrial tread pattern.

I am going to go cross ply as don’t do any road work but most is yard working on concrete yard d and on a 34 year old machine as the price difference dose not add up plus and the current ones have lasted 20 years but now doing far more yard work
