Galaxy tyres??

[Elliott]

Need new tyres for the loader. Galaxy coming in far cheaper than the alternatives. Either agri tread or industrial. It does mainly yard work but does venture off road occasionally.
Are people happy with their Galaxy tyres?

I think there the same as JCB tyres.

If it's staying longer than another 3000 hours, Bibload (if Michelin make a 26").
If not, then anything else.

Is it worth the extra investment for a loader? Michelin will be at least twice the price. Loader tyres tend to be in the danger zone for driver error!!

That's why we had to replace a single one!

Forklift wasn't even a week old.

1st Google result says £750, and thats before you've haggled 20% discount and claimed your Michelin 'cash back' (if they still do it).
I'd imagine there are deals to be had if you find the right dealer.

You should have kept the old loader, and changed the driver

Where did you get price from? We've had Galaxy on our JCB they've been excellent and can count the punctures they've suffered on one hand. Time for some new ones.

Galaxy Beefy Baby tyres had came on my last Case skid steer wore well 800 hours replaced with Michelins, machine was sold at either 12 or 1400 hrs and the Michelins were down a fair bit. Would have replaced like for like but couldn't locate the same again. Was very impressed with them.

Friend of mine replaced bald michelins off a JCB 536/60 with galaxy's. Feeding twice a day and mostly onroad/concrete work they barely lasted 1000-1500hrs however the michelins lasted 3500hrs.

Carl France who runs his own tyre place called Mobile Tyres. Nice guy based down in Herne Bay near us. He’s a Vredestien agent too but will quote for any make. He seems to be the only guy that will come out on a Sunday for punctures too which is getting him more work on the farms.
We went for the industrial Galaxy in the end. Glad you have got on well with them!
