They dig good but they put too much stress at the base of the lugs on dry tracks..... Just doubled one though a couple days ago ( got lucky and had 2 of the perfect size tires for doubling them to help keep the tire together longer lol ) My Galaxies gonna dig at Bash For Ca$h

I have a set of 7.00-15 14 ply forklift tires that need mounted up. I took them to a couple of my local tire shops and they said they wouldn't mount them on my wheels because they were not meant to be on car rims! They also said it was a liability issue even tho I said its going on a derby car. I have seen them so I know it's possible! How hard is it and any good tricks?

If you have access to a rim clamp style tire machine you can spin the bottom side on then spoon the top side on if you tube them they are easy to pinch the tube best way I found was to put a little air in the tube and like said use lots of soap

Didn't realize how heavy the 7.50 15/ 16(? illegible ply) tire is....Weighed one on that was still mounted on the split rim (tires were halfass solid, the tubes were filled with rubber or something) Sucker weighed 190 lbs! with regular tubes on a mopar/ford rim, would these still be too heavy for my stock F150 rear end? Or should they be limited to front only use?

not sure how walmart thinks that a forklift tire would ever have a dot stamp as none do and be very careful there are several styles of forklift tires that the beads are not made to be mounted on a standard passenger car wheel they are meant to be mounted on a wide flange split rim just because it says 7.00x15 does not mean it will be able to be mounted safely on a 15 inch car rim seen too many times where guys buy the wrong forklift tires and theres a gap when mounted do your homework, then spend cash

Ok on the 15 inch skidders what are they using for tubes and the 14 inch are they just using like a mr14/15 tube or something else and are they stuffing them are just mounting them with tubes on the 16 ply fork lift tires if you take it somewhere that offers pressing of forklift tire they should be able to press them off and if you take your time you can cut the foam fill out had to do it with a 10.00/20 that the rim blew apart on and the tire was new

We use a 14/15 tube with 85 psi and people also double them.

85 psi the tires are not rated at that just getting the feel starting to sell allot of the sidewinders and was asked what tube to use sold a few of the titans also and if you can find a set of press tires with the metal band already in them that are 15inch with a little work you could get them on a 14 inch rim and weld them on
