Loader & Skid Steer Tire Tubes

Loader and skid steer tire tubes are usually used when harsh work conditions damage the rim causing air pressure leaks. When skid steer tire rims get banged up, the tire bead doesn’t stay and the seal is not air tight. Debris such as rocks, grass, twigs work themselves between the tire bead and the rim, causing the rim to leak. Tubes can also can be used as a first attempt repair for loss of air pressure.

The best way to determine rim leaks is to submerge your tire and wheel in water and look for tiny air bubbles rising from the rim. Don’t forget to check both sides of the tire! Sometimes the leaks are so small it is difficult to see or the air bubble will just be one tiny bubble every few seconds.

Tire tubes are not made in all tire sizes- one size may fit up to 4 different tire sizes. If you don’t see your tire size listed, just give us a call and we will find the proper fitment.

More Tips on Choosing Skid Steer Tubes

HELPFUL REMINDER ABOUT TIRE TUBES: Tire tube manufacturers are moving toward only producing RADIAL TIRE TUBES due to the fact that they can be used in both radial and bias tires. Still, some tire tubes are made in both radial and bias construction. Just remember RADIAL TIRE TUBES can be installed in both RADIAL TIRES AND BIAS TIRES, but BIAS TIRE TUBES can only be installed in BIAS TIRES. So, if your tire is of bias construction but a bias tube is not available, don’t hesitate substituting a radial tube. NOTE: A Radial tube is designated with an “R” in the size (ex. 18.4R30).
