Agricultural Tire Rims, Tubes and Valves

Start with the tire size and its rim specifications. For example, the R in a tire size such as 540/65 R30 indicates radial construction, while 30 identifies the tire's nominal rim diameter in inches.

The rim diameter must correspond with the tire size, but diameter alone does not determine compatibility. Rim width and profile must also be appropriate for the tire. Check the recommended and approved rim information in the tire's technical specifications before selecting a rim.

Some multi-piece rims also require an O-ring to provide a seal. Refer to Michelin technical documentation for the appropriate rim dimensions, profiles and O-ring specifications for your application.

Agricultural tire specifications identify whether a tire is tubeless (TL) or tube type (TT). Michelin agricultural tires are manufactured as tubeless tires, but an appropriate inner tube may be used when required for the application.

Compatible inner tube references can be found in Michelin technical documentation using the tire size and corresponding tube information.

Once the appropriate inner tube has been identified, use its reference to determine the compatible valve. Valve specifications vary by application, including differences in shape, length and valve-hole diameter.

Tubeless tires and air/water applications may use different valve configurations, so refer to the technical specifications for the appropriate valve for your tire and rim assembly.
