I have Maxxis on my Bobcat, but they are proper bobcat tyres. I have seen people run BFG A/Ts on Bobcats before. Personally I would not do it for a number of reasons like, they are not load rated to take a bobcat and they are barely strong enough for driving/wheeling let alone skid steering over concrete edges/tree roots/stumps and all the other stupid shite you drive over with a bobcat.
And the proper bobcat tyres are a fraction of the price of Trepadors. My tyres are on 23" and they retail at $180 each, which I thought was farkin high. Ended up getting them for $118 each.

Yeah the bigger Bobcats have quite big tyres.ISUZUROVER wrote:These wheels were huge! Looked like 30+"Micka wrote:Maxxis make all sorts of tyres.ISUZUROVER wrote:Drove past a bobcat on a truck this morning, and itr had Maxxis Trepadors!!!

Mine is only 1m wide so the tyres are only 23" on 12" rims.
I've worked with a bobcat operator who had light aircraft tyres (no tread what so ever) on his bobcat. They were like great big balloons. By far he was the best performing bobcat in the sand, and in Perth sand is pretty much everywhere (with a bit of limestone thrown in too).bLaInY wrote:also depends on what sort of work the bobcat was doing, no point having a mud tyre on the cat if your going over places where you dont want to dig up the ground, few of them also run slicks, yet i dont see them going around the track

Re: tyres
Yeah I've seen bobbats with BFG Muddies fitted as well. Might be a common thing?klrevo wrote:the bobcat at work the other day had 31x10.5x15 BFG Muddies on it...
so im sure its possible,

its quite common for bobcats that work only on concrete to run HT 4wd tyres/bald/low traction tyres as they skid steer better on hard firm surfaces, but treps? maybe he bought them through his company (tax deduction) for his 'bobcat' (actually 4wd) and decided to give em a crack on the bobbie
1986 - Stage 1 V8 serIII style side ute - gone
1997 - 300 TDI 130 single cab ute - gone
1986 - 90 defender soft top, bars, buttons and tyres
2000 - TD5 disco 'the boss's rig'

That's what I thought... Especially given that Perth is sand, sand and sand...def90 wrote:its quite common for bobcats that work only on concrete to run HT 4wd tyres/bald/low traction tyres as they skid steer better on hard firm surfaces, but treps? maybe he bought them through his company (tax deduction) for his 'bobcat' (actually 4wd) and decided to give em a crack on the bobbie
They were half worn (looked about 33"). Maybe he buys tyres for his bobcat, and installs them after they have been "run in" on his 4x4

I know. I have high rollers on my DH bike. Great tyres!g35me wrote:Maxxis make bicycle tyres as well.
Sure Maxxis make tyres for just about everything, but trepadors are not (intended to be) Bobcat tyres - so I was surprised to see them.
They also don't come in 16.5" AFAIK.

Some Bobcats obviously have 15" rims, and treps come in 15" sizes.

Maxxis is the classy name for Cheng Shin Tyre.g35me wrote:Maxxis make bicycle tyres as well.
I've been riding around on those for almost 30 years.
CST make specialized bike tyres too. You'll notice the similarities in some tread patterns.
Ironically, a mate in the US was telling me about the hottest selling maxxis mtb tyres ever, highrollers in 2.1".
But when they sold out they couldn't get any more. Turns out they were counterfeit, maxxis never made highrollers that size.
