Tanker tyres

[ClaasCows]

800/65r32 belshina on a 2000, side wall of one split last night, cracks in other one, away to tyre fitter today for options…

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?

just before the Winkleigh straight by any chance? I see that there a while back

edited to add something is telling me this was a loaded rear discharge spreader?

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

This is what sorts the cheapo Shyte from Michelin or Nokian or similar, you make the sidewalls start to work on a tyre and you will soon find if it’s any good.

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

It's fitting pressure, you're supposed to let the pressure well, well down when it comes. Do you not read the manual? Or even the stickers plastered all over the machine?

What tyres do you have? We got a new 2250 and paid an extra 1k over standard 28.1r26 belshinas for 800/65r32. Came on MRL Mega Sols, wish we hadn't though, such a stupid shape for a radial tyre, they're down at 32psi and the edges of the tread still don't touch the ground when fully loaded with a dribblebar on the back too. The belshinas were a nice square tyre and would no doubt have a nicer footprint. The old 1550 Fraser was on belshinas that lasted 25 years...

Ahh, yeah, Ive heard plenty Alliance horror stories and these MRLs look very similar which is a bit concerning.

Put my Conor on BKT from new, not worth the mither.

Alliance 800/65 on our 2015 Hi-spec tanker. Still like new and very pleased with them. Would Definately have them again.

Mine didn’t come with a manual.
No stickers about psi either (well apart from “check tyre pressure”).
Keep your nuts tight and your dripper lubed is all I honed in on on that big yellow sticker
