Slurry tank tyres

[sh40]

Is there much of a difference in thec quality between Nortec tyres (probably Russian) and bkt tyres for a slurry tank? My tyre man is getting me prices 2Moro but expects bkts to be double the price. Tyres are 800 r32.

Forget Russian tyres .go for Alliance

Alliance here, they seem to run a bit wider than cheaper brands I’ve seen which is good in my eyes. 6 years old this year and still like new.

Had alliance. They werent even round. Couldnt sit in the tractor over 2000 rpm. Got nortec now as they were the cheapest. No problems so far

That’s the issue with asking for opinions on a forum. You tend to get 10 different answers with 10 different experiences. Sometimes you just have to take a punt and go for it

What pressure you running them at?

Would never have 800/65/32 Aliance on a tanker again,both tankers had them from new,both replaced with BKT

maybe they were them new type square wheels from the carry on film

Alliance sell at least two different 800s plus 30.5 crossplys.
Not sure which type of 800 are on the 2000gal tanker I use occasionally but I couldn't complain about them and I know they are wider than what they replaced because the wheels had to be turned and spaced. Same contractor has a 2800 on the same Alliance tyres and although I haven't used it I haven't heard any complaints.
Of course any manufacturer could have the odd tyre that isn't perfect.

It depends on the load rating too. Aren’t most 181A8 now and anyone buying should aim for this rating at least ?

Ive 900 alliance tyres but the load rating went up a bit with the size so they hopefully should be stronger they are 191D:

Was told once that Russian ones were developed for a russian bomb carrier doing about 4 miles per hour with a handful of bombs on board, not hurtling about at the speed of light with a load of slurry

We had Russian radial tyres that lasted as long as Aliance

That’s about right. The 28.1’s were pretty much all Ukrainian

I hear of problems with Alliance tyres on tankers bad shape or splitting. I have them and so far can’t fault them, that all could change i suppose.

I wasn't given the option of alliance. Its nortec or bkts for twice the money almost that he has.

Dragging this up. Looks like I'm needing to replace my tanker tyres.
Need load rating of 181 getting prices on Monday. Tyre man mentioned alliance and ceat and I suggested bkt.
How are rating the bkt ?

Both tankers still on BKT with no issues.
Leaves less foot print than the tractor. All the tractors are on BKT as well. There probably are better tyres out there,but I’m more than happy with them

Dont go for alliance anyway

What spec alliance were you running?
Were they 181A8 rated or lower?
Sidewall cracking or what was the main issue ?
