Question 39
Posted by Neil on January 18, 2005
Larry, I am designing tank tracks (vehicles for Iraq) made of rubber like truck tires. Need to know an estimate of tire miles to failure for an 18 wheeler carrying load of 24 tons continuously (no dead-heading)on a smooth summer surface. We were thinking 16000 miles?? Would appreciate your estimate.
Stay tuned! Sending this question off to our engineers. Please forward me your contact information!
Question 38
Posted by jim on January 18, 2005
i am trying to find a truck tire with the tread pattern of the old g167 but my size is 245-70-19.5 the 124 seems a bit aggresive i have them on my wrecker but my flatbed does a lot of highway miles i had a tractor before with the 167’s on it any suggestions
What you are looking for is an open shoulder line haul design in a regional application and tire size. Most regional tires of this type feature the open shoulder aggressive tread pattern similar to the G124. I don't have any good recommendations for you.
