Tanker tyres

[P.O.T]

Need a new 800/65 r32 tyre for 2500 tanker. Been offered a belshina tyre at £1200 or alliance at £1640. So quite a price difference.heard of alliance but not belshina, worth going the cheaper route or just bite bullet?

 

[john432]

Check the load rating for both, personally I would avoid the belshina. The belshina is common on 28x26 size fitted on tankers say 10 years ago, and weren't really up to the loads carried never mind the bouncing effect. Maybe that size is bettet

I had alliance on my tanker. Worst tyre ever for bouncin. I have nortec 800 65 32 now and much better. It was £1050 about 6 months ago

I have a belshina radial that size on my 2500 tanker. It'll be a radial not the old fashioned cross ply. Not a bad tyre not really that bouncy although at 4 yrs old it's showing a bit of wear.

So my 2 tanker tyres are splitting on the inner sidewalls. Today one split has started leaking. Taking it to tyre fitters tomorrow. Fear it's the start of many more.

My advice is bite the bullet and put on a new tyre straight away as ul end up spendin money fixin the old tyre a few times and ul have nothin but bother until u get fed up and replace it. Been there got the t shirt

There was a tanker parked on side of the road locally a while back that had a blowout loaded but it ruined the rim and heard it cost 2.5k for the tyre (£1950) and rim (£550) and tanker had to be pumped out on the side of the road which was a ball ache.
Best replace tyre sooner rather than later.

Or purchase a new tanker?

I suspect you're right.

I've a 2670 on alliance tyres. They are terrible. First set split the bead, complained to alliance. They said we were above the weight rating (fitted from new in the factory). Did a deal for higher weight rating and they just bounce all the time. Never buying alliance again. Avoid if possible.
On a lighter note what else are people running? Need traction style pattern to keep it on slopes.

I had alliance and they did nothin but bounce all the time like literally could hardy sit in the tractor, replaced them with nortec which was cheapest and they run nice and smooth

Well i spent around £150 on the old tyre before i had to go buy the new tyre so, ever since if a tyre is givin trouble and its down on tread i just buy a new tyre as its cheaper in the long run and at least u have peace then

I have a set of 900 alliances on our 2500 tanker. The tank is new but there is 4 bar pressure in each tyre. I find it nice on the road and it doesn’t bounce bad but because they are 900s the load rating is better you get that for free so to speak. This is the tyre spec attached (4th entry in attached table)
I hope I’m not disappointed going by all the comments re alliance here but so far I can only say they are nice on the road so far

Doesn't it seem perverse to have nice wide rubber and run them at 60psi?

I couldn’t believe there was 60 psi in them but I said I’d check them when it came and that’s what was in them

I specked BKTs on a new tanker, run them at half that, compaction is expensive.

Tyres are often inflated to max for transport on back of lorry....

If you don’t keep tanker tyres rock hard the sidewalls don’t last. Too much flexing and the side walls crack.

I’d prefer to pay for tyres over subsoiling, just trying to put decent radials on to cope with it.

Fitted a set of nortecs to a 2500 recently. Time will tell. The local Abbey dealer is specing tankers with either alliance or nortec, most seem to have the nortecs fitted.
