Tires Tire Construction
● Bias Ply
TIRE CONSTRUCTION
The pneumatic tire is essentially a flexible pressure
vessel utilizing structural members (nylon, steel cable, etc.)
to contain the hoop tension resulting from the inflation
pressure. Rubber is utilized as a protective coating and
sealant over the structural members and makes up the
tread pattern which provides the wearing medium at the
ground interface. The following brief explanation of the
various tire constructions will assist you in selecting tires
for your specific application.
Two distinct tire constructions approved on all Cat®
machines are the BIAS PLY and RADIAL PLY tires. Bias Ply Construction
Radial tires are designated by an “R” while a “-” represents
a Bias constructed tire. For example, a 45/65-45 tire
would be of Bias construction and a 45/65R45 would be of 3. Breakers or tread plies – These, if used, are confined

Tire Types
Tire Size Nomenclature
Radial Ply TIRE TYPES

Off-the-road tires are classified by application in one
of the following three categories:
1. Transport tire – For earthmoving machines that
transport material such as trucks and wheel tractors.
2. Work tire – Normally applied to slow moving earth-
moving machines such as graders and loaders.
3. Load and carry – Wheel loaders engaged in transporting
as well as digging.
TIRE SIZE NOMENCLATURE

Tire size nomenclature is derived from the approximate
cross section width and rim diameter typically in the
format of Tire Width, Aspect Ratio, and Rim Diameter
(example: 45/65-45). Available tire types include:
Radial Ply Construction
1. A wide base tire has a section height to section width
ratio in the range of 0.83. As an example, a 29.5-25 tire
has an approximate cross section width of 749 mm
1. Beads – A single bead bundle of steel cables or steel (29.5") (first number) and a rim diameter of 635 mm
strip (spiraled like a clock spring) comprise the bead (25") (second number).
at each rim interface.
2. A conventional tire has a section height to section
2. Radial casing – This consists of a single layer or ply width ratio in the range of 0.96. As an example, a

tires in proportion to the amount of work they can do
from a temperature standpoint. It utilizes the product of
load × speed to derive an index of the tire temperature
buildup. Even at or below a tire’s TKPH, failures may be
initiated by overstressing the tires.

– Choose a tire with a rated load capacity equal to or greater than the controlling tire weight = Tire rating > (1f)
– Attachments may cause the maximum weight per tire to exceed tire capacity. In these cases the tire supplier should be consulted.
– Contact your tire supplier for machine specific inflation pressures to ensure compensation for different tire loads.

The following tables present commonly found
Caterpillar and the tire suppliers’ recommended cold
inflation pressures for tires on Cat machines. For inflation
pressures of tire suppliers not listed please obtain them
directly from the respected supplier.
The inflation pressure is based on a ready-to-work
vehicle weight, rated payload, and average operating
conditions. Pressures for each application may need to
be varied from those shown and should always be obtained
from your tire supplier.
Pressures for all tires apply to rib, traction, rock,
deep tread, and super deep tread tires.
NOTE: Caterpillar recommends using dry nitrogen
(N 2) gas for both tire inflation and pressure
adjustments on all current and past production
machines.

NOTE: These are general inflation pressures. For applications such as slope and ditching service, the inflation pressures should be increased by 100 kPa (15 psi)
with NO increase in carrying capacity. Any extreme conditions should be referred to your local tire supplier OR representative for recommended on
pressures, sizes, patterns, and compounds for specific application. The recommended inflation pressures provided are a starting point for the machine
shown.

NOTE: Ballast weight for bias ply tires from Goodyear data, radial ply weights from Michelin data. Contact your tire supplier for additional information. Under
abnormal tire wear conditions, ballasting of rear tires may be desirable. Ballasting of front tires also should only be done where extremely rapid tire
wear rates are encountered. Excessive weight will reduce machine performance.
NOTE: Fillage beyond 75% of tire enclosed volume is not recommended. With liquid ballasting, inflation pressure must be checked at least once per day.
NOTE: 1.6 kg (31⁄2 lb) Calcium Chloride per gallon water. Solution weighs 4.6 kg (10.15 lb) per gallon.
NOTE: Total machine mass including all attachments in operating condition, all reservoirs at full capacity and ballasted tires must not exceed certification mass
listed on the ROPS certification label.
NOTE: Special air to water valves are required for liquid filled tires.
