Definition & Size The Armour 18.4-24 tire is a type of heavy equipment tire specifically for backhoe loaders or heavy loaders/tractors. The size "18.4-24" indicates a nominal rubber width of approximately 18.4 inches and a rim diameter of 24 inches. This tire falls into the heavy-duty tire category, suitable for use in construction, excavation, earthmoving, and high-load work. Construction & General Technical Specifications A ply rating of approximately 12 PR indicates the ability to withstand heavy loads and high lateral tensile stress. Tread types such as R4 or R4A are designed for off-road operation, rough terrain, rocks, and uneven surfaces. This tread features strong blocks and a deep profile for maximum grip and traction. The tire structure is designed to resist punctures, abrasion, and wear from constant friction against rough materials such as rocks and gravel. Advantages & Functions High grip on rough and uneven terrain; capable of maintaining stability when loading and moving materials. Relatively long service life when used in suitable conditions such as hard ground, damp conditions, or mixed gravel and rocks. Resistance to mechanical damage: less cuts, scratches, and light impacts than standard tires. High load support and stability when operating in construction or excavation areas, especially when turning or lifting materials. Ideal Uses This tire is ideal for backhoe loaders used in road construction, construction projects, excavations, backfilling, and other heavy-duty work areas. It is well-suited for areas with rough surfaces, hard ground conditions, frequent encounters with rocks or gravel, and work involving heavy loads. For optimal performance, proper inflation pressure (if using pneumatic tires), tire rotation, and regular maintenance are essential for even wear patterns.
