Telehandler/loadall tyres

    I am in the market for 4 new tyres for our telehandler. On it at the moment are 460 70 R 24. (From what I can gather these are the same as 17.5 70 R 24.) I'm interested in putting a larger set on it like 480's or 500's.
    Do ye have any knowledge on the lifespan or value of Firestone vs bkt vs Michelin? There seems to be a great difference in the price between brands. Anybody know any good suppliers in Tipperary/Laois/Offaly/limerick?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok. Haven't looke into them now yet. Where did you buy them? What size are they? What kind of a machine are you running them on?
