More info: Specific part # for larger Moose tires

[Ted Waltman]

Sorry, you have to call Dresser to get their current price. For some
reason it is not on their website / catalog. When I called in Jan they
had 39 in stock.

See the bottom: Here's an image out of the Goodyear tire catalog with
the specifics ; Larry Luckinbill has these on his Super Rebel




In other words, it will take a weight of 7,465 to flatten the tire when
it is inflated at 25psi. TubeLESS tire. In looking through the attached
file, it would appear that the "Rated Load" is never specifically
defined. Rather, if you look at the definition for "Ply Rating," you
can see that "Ply Rating is used to identiry a given tire with its
maximum recommended load when used in a specific type of service."
Reading that sentence, one might imply that "Rated Load" is therefore
really "Maximum Recommended Load" since, as in the above chart, the
rated load figure is on the same line as the play rating. Then again,
one might infer that "Rated Load" is simply the load that they imposed
on the tire when measuring and establishing it's other statistics (e.g.
section width).

My question is what if I'm at or near gross (3,500 lbs of course) and
make a hard landing; Am I in danger of exceeding the tire's load limit
and having a flat at the worst time possible? I don't know how the heck
you'd really get a definitive answer to this question; the folks at
Desser surely wouldn't know and it would be nigh on impossible in all
likelihood to find the right person at Goodyear to answer this question.

Oh, by the way, this tire is not on the Desser website. Perhaps it is
special order. I'll try calling them someday to find out.

What do the tires you have on their now from MAM weigh, and what is
their load rating if you know?

Happy New Year,

Ted
