Good luck getting anything. Still waiting for some Alliance for my 244 as I couldn't even get an estimate when Nokians might be available. All I know is my set is in the country not on the ship anymore. Supposedly the end of January. I started looking in September.

Nokians but I don’t think you’ll get them this season.

BKT make Loader tires in that size .

Not sure about a Snow tread .

I have BKT tires on my small Loader called ' 621 '

They work good in Snow and Dirt .

I bought them a few years ago through a local mobile tire guy , not sure where he got the tires from in Ontario .

 

[SHAWZER]

I went on BKT web site .

They list a 17.5 / 65 - 20 tire called Snow Ride .

Nokians but I don’t think you’ll get them this season.

Maybe next season...

 

[Yoman]

Thank you everyone, called around as you guys said nothing available, maybe next season.

I occasionally run a 908 with simialar tires and they don't perform well. If you primarily use the loader for snow I'd sype and or groove the tires and run them till they're worn out.

Buff, funny that you mention that I have a cat 908M as well my local tire dealership I deal with in New Hampshire where I live, like Mark, I was looking at Alliance back in October and he said maybe by March 2023

So what I did, on my caterpillar I have the Dunlop original tires. This machine is only used for snow, I have a Metal Pless 8–36–14 with livedge, we average 55 to about 65 inches per season for snowfall, this year we’re sitting at 7 inches total.

I talked to the tire company and they said you can try grooving into the tread block or sniping. I then looked up Tire grooving machines. Some of them are very expensive. The one I was after I believe brand new is $550-$600 … I then

went on eBay I won the bid for a used one which was practically brand new for $300, I bought some spare blades For $24

I’m doing this from my mobile phone I will upload before and after, I was gonna use it today but we only got an inch and a half of freaking snow.

I didn’t copy anyone’s tread design I did this on my own, will it work? Who knows Plus it gave me something to do in the shop the last few days lol
