Hey all, I have an old Ford f800 single axle dump that I use as an “off-road dump”. It a great truck but traction is an issue, especially during winter. I’ve looked at flotation tires but don’t really want to have to buy a new wheel setup too. Also looked at snow chains but don’t think that will get enough traction in the thick stuff.
Now I’m looking at pivot tires. I found some online for my 11r22.5. They are retreads but for $140 each I think it’s worth it. They look like a tractor paddle tire so I think it will get plenty of traction.
My main concern is they are 14 ply and made for an irrigation pivot. Will 4 of these hold up on the rear of a single axle dump truck? It never sees over 25 mph on the job site and I put it on a trailer to relocate. It also never hauls gravel or anything too heavy, just dirt.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
