Shop Loader/Dozer Tires
Order Loader/Dozer tires by tire type, service description, brand, mileage warranty, availability, and current price.
Before choosing Loader/Dozer tires, match the vehicle-required load index, speed rating, and any applicable load or designation requirements.
Before buying loader and bulldozer tires: wheel loaders and wheel dozers
Loader tires are earthmover tires for wheel loaders, also called front end loaders, which dig, lift and carry material at low speed. Bulldozer tires fit wheel dozers, rubber-tired machines that push material with a front blade; track-type bulldozers run on steel tracks and take no tires. Full-size wheel loader and dozer tires mount on 25-inch rims and larger, compact wheel loaders use smaller sizes such as 12.5-18, and all loader tires are classified by an L tread code.
Loader tread codes to check when ordering
- L-2 loader tires have a traction tread for soft ground, sand and snow.
- L-3 loader tires have a rock tread with regular depth for quarries, gravel and general construction.
- L-4 loader tires have a deep rock tread for more cut resistance and longer life on rock.
- L-5 loader tires have an extra-deep rock tread for the most abrasive work, such as mines and scrap yards.
- L-3S, L-4S and L-5S loader tires have smooth treads for maximum rubber on hard, abrasive surfaces.
Loader tire sizes to read before ordering
Bias loader sizes such as 17.5-25, 20.5-25 and 23.5-25 give the section width in inches and a 25-inch rim. Radial loader sizes such as 20.5R25 use an R in place of the dash. The size, tread code and ply or star rating on the current tire decide the order.
Choosing bias or radial loader tires
Radial loader tires run cooler, ride smoother and last longer in load-and-carry work, where the loader travels with each bucket. Bias loader tires cost less and resist sidewall cuts, which suits short-cycle work in rock, demolition and scrap. Bias tires list a ply rating, such as 16-ply; radial tires list a star rating, such as one or two stars, for load capacity.
Matching loader tires across the machine
Loader tires are bought as a full set of four on most machines, because the drivetrain needs equal rolling diameters on all four wheels. Mixing a worn tire with a new one, or bias with radial, loads the differentials and wears the tires unevenly.
Front loader tires for smaller machines
Compact tractors with a front loader attachment run R-4 industrial tires; see rear tractor tires. Skid steers use smaller tires; see skid steer tires. Machines that work on demolition sites with constant puncture risk can switch to solid tires. Larger haul trucks and graders are listed under OTR and construction tires.
