tire pressure

What pressure should an 18.4 x 38 tire have? 6 or 8 ply difference?

moresmoke · Jan 18, 2021

Anywhere from 5-30 psi. Bias or radial, what are you using it for? Tire pressure is related to load on the tire.

The footprint should be about as long as it is wide. Jack up one tire, rake the soil kinda smooth, let it down and back up. Measure. If it will be loaded, factor that in. Jim

I'm running 8-10 psi 6ply bias on an 1170 Case

Tire dealer told me 1 pound for every inch of width....18.4x34 takes 18 psi of air pressure. Duals take less, I run 12 psi in my duals.

16-18 is good. i check mine on the cement floor or on the trailer. i can see how the outside lug is sitting. with lots of air the outside lug will be up in the air. i get it so its pretty well touching oe slightly up. just my way of doing it. was just doing that today.

On a 10006 Deutz 2WD. About 1/3 full of fluid. Short lug, long lug Titans.

In the shop now & at 18 it seems like the print is longer than the width?

I would say the tire pressure recommended on the tire.

Tractor tires operate at varying pressure unlike a car or truck tire

What about front tires? I have to go look at mine tomorrow to see what size. I know it takes more with a loader tractor. Thanks.

SVcummins · Jan 19, 2021

I currently have 70 psi In the front tires on my 3020

Janicholson · Jan 19, 2021

That seems good if it is maybe 20% longer. Much depends on the amount of weight. Once in the field, testing pressures between maybe 15 and 22 seem reasonable to get traction. Jim

Radial or bias ? Rim width ? Travel speed ? Carried weight ? Level ground or ploughing in the furrow ? Number of plies ?
