What are the tires for machinery that give a better performance, safety and comfort to your excavator, loader or dump truck? Do you have to buy them new or second-hand? What will be the most appropriate solution for you?
In order to choose the right type of industrial tire, it is necessary to know for which machine and labor they will be used and which ground they Will work on. There are differences between radial and diagonal tires that give to the machine, a greater adaptability to some kind of work or other

Differences between radial and diagonal tires
Radial and diagonal tires are the two types used for agricultural or construction machinery.
They differ from each other in their internal drawing.
In diagonal tires, the threads of the canvas are located between 40 and 45 degrees in relation to the average plane of the tire. As on advantage, they ensure stability in the work on pending land, they can be easily repaired and their purchase cost is lower.
In machinery radial tires the canvas threads are located perpendicular to the middle plane of the tire. The canvases have a central layer to strengthen the area. Its main advantages are that they cover a larger area of contact, its running-in is better, and they enjoy a great durability and resistance. Its purchase cost is higher due to its production process.
Wheel Loader tires
What type of tires are the most suitable for a loader?
Loaders equipped with radial tires will have a greater productivity and cost efficiency than those using diagonal tires.
Excavator tires
In the case of excavators, what kind of tires for machinery are suitable?
It is necessary to distinguish between crawler excavators (tracks) and tire excavators. Focusing on this second type of excavator, the recommended tires are those of radial construction because they offer greater gril and traction in work performance.
Tires for dump trucks or dumpers
The ideal type of tires for these machines are the radial one, as with them, load capacity is increased thanks to its morphology that supports higher inflation pressures .TAOPPARTS is supporter of the radial tire for loaders, wheel excavators and public works and mining trucks; because, thanks to its composition and manufacturing, they offer remarkable advantages differently from diagonally structured tires, especially:
- Greater durability.
- Superior grip.
- Less friction in rolling.
- Greater resistance against perforations or aggressions.
In the end, they offer greater productivity and, in the long term, a significant cost savings.
Buying new tires for new machinery or looking for a specialized dismantling company which sells used machines?
The answer would be very simple if we did not have budget problems: new tires.
But the business reality is doomed to minimize the expenses susceptible to it. With the objective of lowering costs, it is always much more profitable to buy tires for machinery from heavy second-hand vehicles that are going to be dismantled.
The price of a new industrial tire can be around 900 or 1,000 euros per unit, according to the brand and type of machine. Therefore, given the durability of tires for public works and mining machinery, the most viable and efficient option is the acquisition of used tires in a specialized dismantling company such as TAOPPARTS.
In our web catalog of spare parts and used tires you can find used tires for excavators, backhoes, loaders, rigid and articulated dumpers and other types of public works and mining machinery units coming from dismantled machines and checked by our technicians. We have radial tires, solid tires and diagonal tires of different sizes and models of brands such as Goodyear, Michelin, Triangle, Mesa, Bridgestone, etc. Tell us … what second-hand tire are you looking for?
