Russian slurry tyres

tractorporn

Anyone on here know how to convert Russian tyres sizes into regular sizes? We have a belmac tanker with 1300×530-533 tyres that are coming to the end and I was hoping to get a series with ordinary tractor grips and reckon they're 23s but not sure. Cheers.

I think they are 21", so good luck finding a tractor tyre to fit

I have a tanker that was converted to 18x26 combine wheels. The centre of the combine rims were cut out and the centre of the original tanker wheels were cut to fit the combine wheels.

Replaced one lately with a new rim and secondhand tyre ,will see what size in am.

I have seen some 23.1 continental tyres on donedeal that came off a combine so was hoping that something like that might suit.

Stupid question I know but are the measurements taken on the wheel rim or on the diameter of the wheel?

Are these the same size as the Russian?

I think so. The rims are 22.5 and having done a bit of research today more of the manufactures seem to be using these rims. Will just need to find a decent set of second hands to go on her, hoping to put 580s on her or wider if I can. Im not sure what the rim can carry yet.

You might need a rim with an offset centre.

The Russian tyres can be got but are actually a few quid dearer than a replacement rim and new tyre to fit it.I'll check size in the morning.

Yeah something around that. I got the replacement on a new rim slightly cheaper.

My thoughts exactly have found a few second hand so hopefully I'll pick up a set cheap enough!

Well wasn't careful enough! One of the tyres on the tanker blew while going with a load last night! Serious hardship.

Anyone know where you can pick up a set of 22.5s on 8 stud rims second hand around the Midlands?? Pat Hinch wants 1100 for two Russian tyres the old lad nearly fainted!!

Went to that fella in Leitrim today and picked up a set of tractor grip tyres and rims for decent money. Although he had a set of Trelleborg 700s that were nearly bought.

He recommended to put on the tyres with the grips backwards. What's the thinking behind this? Do many lads turn the tyres round for their tankers?

Serious selection of stuff and fairly alright to deal with. Had a choice of tanker wheels for us from 1000 to 400. Yeah I heard it's for grip but was wondering the thinking behind it. I read somewhere that you turn them because they're being pulled as opposed to doing the pulling?

Ye there's probably logic in that to when you think of the lugs turning into the ground
