I'm having trouble finding an agri radial in the size of 18,4r26 for a backhoe. Most be agri grip as this machine does a lot of field work. Don't want crossplys again if I can as I often found not enough of the lug was on the ground and they wore quick enough.

I'm not looking for top brands such as Michelin or trelleborrgs but more so middle to cheaper brands such as bkt, firestone, kleber, alliance etc finding it hard to come across something in radial in this size. Anyone know what's available ?

Am I right on thinking that not every radial is suitable for a backhoe as they would flex too much or that's what my tyre man said anyway. He was addiment on putting on crossplys. I just want to be able to ring up crowds with a suitable radial agri grip tyre to get a quote.

I think jcb 560s are that size you may be limited to better brands

Most telehandlers are on radials and lift a lot higher. So I wouldn't worry about tyre flex

Most telehandlers on radial tyres would have a radial tyre specifically designed for a handler not just any old same size radial tyre put on. The are thick walled and a git to fit.

What cross plies did you have last time ? What ply rating ? What load index and what pressure did you run them at ?

Hi thanks for this. Which would you see as better the alliance or the vredestein? The vredestein looks a nice grip pattern
