J2204_201911 Tire Size Differential - Articulated Wheel Loader

This SAE Standard applies to the usage of tires of the same nominal size and tread type, but with different outside diameter for articulated front-end loaders. Articulated four-wheel-drive front-end loader performance and component life can be affected by excessive differences in the tire outside circumference and/or diameter. The purpose is to provide specific guidelines for the usage of tires with different outside circumference and/or diameter on articulated front-end loaders. Such guidelines for tire circumferences/diameters on the axle positions are stated as within the specified variances.
