dillerkr Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 A tire on my B81 dump truck self destroyed and I have been trying to locate a replacement. The tire is 11 x 24 bias ply with a tube mounted on a split ring spoke wheel. I have not been able to locate a source of these tires, but it must exist since there are still a lot of these trucks on the road. Any suggestions? with thanks, Ken in Elgin, Texas Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61672-mack-b81-tire-search/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Bias will be tricky. Folks have gone with 11.00R24 radial construction tube type which are available. https://www.petestirestore.com/1100R24-Bridgestone-M857-Commercial-Truck-Tire-16-Ply_p_9761.html 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

j hancock Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Yeah, new radials in that size are definitely more bucks than going with caps! Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

mrgumby Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 The only problem with the places you guys are naming is he’s in Texas a long ways away. Not New England.

Ditchdiggerjcf Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Any truck tire place is going to have access to bias ply tires. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61672-mack-b81-tire-search/#findComment-446838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
