MRL Tyres Split

[A1an]

Anyone had issues like this with MRL tyres? This is 1500hrs on concrete.

It's like the tread cap hasn't bonded to the carcass. All four tyres are the same. I'm unsure whether it's strictly a tyre issue or has something to do with it being solely run on concrete.
It's certainly not going to pass it's loler test

You should get a refund on the % tread left.
ie not much?

Only 1500 hrs wow .Who's driving it Stirling Moss!

They look to be running a bit on the soft side.

That's one clean handler!

Would you not be better with more of an industrial tyre if it’s permanently on concrete?

Anyone had issues like this with BKT tyres? This is 1500hrs on concrete.

[Edited]
Late 2016 made tyres 17 plate loader, moving wood chip and chirping the tyres when pushing into a solid heap?
What pressures are you running?

Its outside the shed for 20mins a week, the rest of the time its moving woodchip

Thats the plan, Bibloads next

Nope, no chirping of tyres. This telehandler hasnt driven in a straight line in 4 years. the wheels are constanly turning in the confines of the shed. Tbh its not the wear thats the issue, thats just part and parcel of the game, its the splitting thats concerning.

Tyres are at 35PSI, thats what they were when we bought it from dealer with brand new tyres.

I've had less than that out of ag tyres on a Loadall that was mostly on concrete. I have industrial tyres now - useless off road but wearing well.

Just looks like the stresses of constantly turning on the spot on concrete has broken down the side wall. You'd be much better off with industrial (none cleated tread) tyres for that type of work. Easier to turn on the spot too so less stress on loader steering etc.

Doubt bkt will be interested, probably say not used as intended purpose

50 psi better , 35 fst too soft

That was my thoughts. The splitting is on the outside of the tyre, the inside is unaffected.

It wont be me putting 50psi in them.

That explains the tyre choice then, MRL's (they're not branded BKT, different Indian companies) are cheap as chips.

JCB sitemaster tyres would have lasted better.

In spite of the max pressure on the sidewall being 3.2 Bar 46 psi.
