Our Front-End Loader Tyre Range
Solid Tyres
These are bulletproof. Literally designed for the worst environments you can imagine. Sharp debris, metal scraps, demolition sites with nails everywhere – solid tyres just keep going. The ride's harder, yes, but you'll never deal with a puncture again. Scrap yards and recycling facilities love them for obvious reasons.
Pneumatic Tyres
This is what most people run. Pneumatic tyres spread the load well, keep operators comfortable, and work on pretty much any surface. We stock different tread patterns for different jobs. Rock-gripping designs for quarries. Gentler patterns for finished surfaces. Whatever you're doing, there's a pneumatic tyre designed for it.
Foam-Filled Tyres
Split the difference between solid and pneumatic. You get puncture protection but the ride's not as harsh as solid tyres. Popular in glass recycling where punctures are inevitable, demolition sites full of nails, anywhere downtime from flat tyres costs serious money but you still care about operator comfort.
Specialised Industrial Tyres
Sometimes you need something specific. Unusual tread design, particular load rating, special performance requirements. We can source tyres for waste handling, port operations, whatever odd application you're running.
Quality Front-End Loader Tyres That Work as Hard as You Do.
Your loader handles brutal work. Moving aggregate, loading trucks, shifting materials in harsh conditions – your tyres cop all of it. When a tyre fails, everything stops. Your equipment sits idle, operators stand around, and you’re haemorrhaging money while scrambling for a replacement.
We supply front-end loader tyres built specifically for South African conditions. Small loaders to massive industrial machines. Quarries, building sites, waste facilities, farms – we’ve got tyres that work in all of them.
Here's what makes these tyres different. Deep treads give you grip in loose materials. Reinforced sidewalls take hits from rocks and debris without splitting. The rubber compounds are designed to handle heat from non-stop loading cycles. These tyres last longer because they're built for punishment.
Every tyre we recommend gets the same treatment. We tell you straight whether it'll work for what you're doing. Sometimes the mid-range tyre does exactly what you need, so why would we push you toward the expensive one? Customers keep coming back because they know we're not just chasing a sale.
Why Choose Fork n Tire for Your Front-End Loader Tyres
We've Been Doing This for Decades
Years in this industry mean we've seen it all. Abrasive quarry floors that eat through tyres. Soft agricultural ground that demands specific tread patterns. Lowveld heat that tests every compound. Coastal humidity that wreaks havoc on rubber. We know what works and what doesn't because we've watched it happen.
Multiple Brands, Real Choice
We stock tyres from manufacturers with proven track records. You're not stuck with whatever we happen to have out back. We work with multiple suppliers, which means you get options based on what you actually need and what you can spend.
We Understand the Technical Side
Our people don't just move boxes. They understand how tyres work. When you call, we ask about your loader specs, how much weight you're moving, what surfaces you're on, how many hours you run, and what your budget looks like. Then we tell you what makes sense. If you're not sure what you need, we ask the right questions to figure it out.
Fair Pricing, Not Rock-Bottom Pricing
Look, we're not the cheapest in South Africa. We're honest about that up front. But we offer quality tyres at prices that make sense, with service that actually saves you money over time. Pay a bit more now, save thousands later in downtime and constant replacements. That's how it works.
We're Here After You Buy
Bought tyres from us three months ago and something's not right? Call us. Questions about pressures? Call us. Weird wear patterns you can't explain? Call us. We want to know if there's a problem so we can sort it out.
How We Help You Get the Right Front-End Loader Tyres
Getting You Back to Work Quickly
Tell Us What You're Doing
We need to know about your loader and how you use it. Machine specs, typical loads, what surfaces you're on, any weird problems you're dealing with. This conversation lets us cut through the options and focus on what'll actually work.
We Recommend Something Specific
Based on what you've told us, we recommend tyres with detailed explanations about why they are suitable. We talk through the trade-offs, too. Longer life costs more up front. Maybe better traction means faster wear. You make the call with all the information.
Here's What It'll Cost
We give you clear pricing. No surprises buried in fine print. The quote covers the tyres and any fitting you want. If there's a way to save money or get better performance, we mention it now, not after you've paid.
We Get It to You
Once you approve the quote, we confirm what's available and when you'll get it. We keep you posted throughout because you need to know when to schedule downtime.
Professional Fitting If You Want It
Need help installing them? We can arrange a proper fitting. This matters more than people think. Incorrectly mounted tyres perform poorly and don't last as long as they should.

Front-End Loader Tyre Pricing and Options
Tyre prices vary wildly. Size, type, brand, specs – everything affects the cost. A compact loader tyre is completely different from what you'd fit on a huge industrial machine. We could publish prices here, but they'd either be wrong for your situation or outdated by the time you read them.
Here's what you can expect. We charge what quality tyres actually cost. Our prices reflect real products from manufacturers worth trusting. We're upfront about costs and what you're getting for your money. If the cheaper option will do the job, we say so. If spending more saves you money long-term, we explain why that is.

Common Questions About Front-End Loader Tyres
Expert Answers to Common Front-end Tyres for sale Questions
Depends entirely on what you're doing with them. Harsh quarry work with sharp rock? Maybe 1,500 to 3,000 hours. Less demanding work with proper maintenance? Quality tyres can push past 5,000 hours. Checking pressures regularly, avoiding overloads, using the right tyre for the job – all this matters more than people think.
Most applications work fine with pneumatics. Good traction, comfortable for operators, and works everywhere. Solid makes sense when the puncture risk is through the roof and comfort doesn't matter as much as never, ever getting a flat. Foam-filled splits the difference. Your specific situation determines what's right, which is why we ask questions instead of just selling you something.
You can, but we usually don't recommend it. Different brands handle differently, wear at different rates, and perform differently. For decent stability and predictable behaviour, at least match the tyres on the same axle. If the budget's tight and mixing is what works, we can talk through it.
Bias tyres are simpler. Overlapping plies, usually cheaper, stiffer sidewalls for stability, handle impacts well. Radials dissipate heat better, last longer, use less fuel, and ride smoother. Which one you want depends on your conditions and your budget. We can walk you through it.
Replace them when the tread's down to minimum safe depth – usually when you can see the tread bars. When sidewalls show serious cracks or weathering. After big impacts that compromise the structure. When you're getting irregular wear that points to alignment or pressure problems. Don't wait for failure. Worn tyres reduce stability and increase the chance of accidents.
Equipment sitting idle costs money – we get it. We can't promise same-day for every tyre type because some sizes need ordering, but we push hard to help customers in urgent situations. Call us right away if it's an emergency. We'll explore every option to get you running again.
