MICHELIN ROADBIB || TYRES || TIRES || LORD MUCK

We look at the Michelin High Speed RoadBib tyres for agricultural vehicles.

[@mattwyatt2375]

I can remember being told when ploughing fill tyres with water then air to take out the bounce when travelling , great vid Kurt.

[@neilporter3286]

I am used to hearing tyre talk related to F1 or WRC - so really interesting to hear the Michelin guy explaining how agricultural tyres cope with road and field conditions. And there was me thinking it was just about soft tyres with big cleats....

[@paulc8581]

Those are some pretty kool looking tires . Glad yal talked about pressure learned something new today. Thanks Kurt

[@WonnorcalkerMedia]

Very interesting video, tyres and tyre pressure is surprisingly overlooked these days. Would be nice to see how big the difference is between the two types of tyre

[@v666edd]

Amazing how tyre technology has come along. Back in the 90s we were running duals all round or the low ground pressure tyres which were a pig to move on the road but these modern tyres offer the grip,low ground pressure and road legal without an escort . All good. Very informative 👍🏻

[@jackhume4532]

Personally, I have never seen a tyre like Michelin’s road bib before and it’s like his lord ship says prof is in the pudding, keep up the good work and all the best .

[@renault1233]

Very interesting those roadbibs would be great on a fastrack. Must say it too the boss man, our 3185 has gone through about 4 sets of verdistiens so far

[@yamyamrob4130]

Great content never given tractor tyres much thought b4 but really intresting 👍👏👏

[@Hesston4860s]

Great video, really interesting stuff there. I shall more than likely have those road bibs on my loadall when the time comes, which might be sooner rather than later looking at it’s current tyres.

[@atahservices2840]

Ive never had any other tyres on big tractors except chevrons but i have been able to plough with a fergie and 3 furrow plough on grass tyres with a deep diamond tred on.

[@jonathanmccroskey3659]

So, very cool info. That's very interesting info about the pressure of the rear tires, and the weight on the front for better tire wear!

[@PapaJ5667]

I worked for Bridgestone/Firestone for 5 yrs doing truck and bus then offroad tires i ran a boom truck working the the woods changing and repairing skidder tires quarries working on the haul trucks and loaders had 5 underground mines that i had to take care of also loved doing that kind of work but it took its toll on my body and had to give it up. It wasnt bad work just phyically hard and since i got out of it ive had 1 shoulder surgery and both hips replaced ...but it is what it is no regrets .....

[@LordMuck]

Have a watch of this 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKqpg55nn6ebpLs

[@PapaJ5667]

@@LordMuck i just checked it out i honestly didnt mind changing any tire ...but a damn goodyear ...the damn sidewalls are so stiff i have actually had to park a loader or bulldozer on the other side of my boom truck to keep it from sliding away from the tire i was working on .....i was changing a 45/65/45 on a Cat 992C frontend loader onetime and had to get the trackhoe operator to put the bucket against the top of the tire and put the tire handler on my boom agsinst the bottom to get the rim and bead flange pushed back far enough to get the oring and lock ring back on and still almost pushed the loader off the jack snd cribbing blocks ...the boom truck i had was big enough for the job but it still struggled with them 42 ply tires

[@williebourke9962]

A revelation in tyres .The michelin man knows his stuff.So now we know a helluva lot more about tractor tyres .THANKS to lord muck x The michelin man x Dan that fitted the tyres

[@Bazza1973ify]

Great video Podge, probably your best one to date 👍

[@timhagemann9236]

That was really interesting! Thank you for having a chat with Ian, I learned a lot. No more partially worn front tyres for me any more.

[@LordMuck]

Well I can't promise that but there's some info to help better wear !

[@HotAxleBox]

Quite an interesting video, thanks for sharing chief! Be seeeeeing you 👌

[@SteveDentonClassics]

Same as doing a car or truck tyre only much bigger. Really interesting stuff thou, and nice to see how its done on tractors with some really good info on the tyres too

[@jbagri2305]

I watched this first back in February and liked it and it came up in my recommended today and 200+k views! Congrats kurt

[@LordMuck]

Cheers ! I have to say I’m really pleased with it.

[@jbagri2305]

Lord Muck hope you get more high view videos and can’t believe you’ve gone from 1k to 8k subs so quick. Keep up the good work

[@LordMuck]

The pleasing thing is I am constantly get a high view to sub ratio these days. I’m not worried about subscriber numbers.

[@jbagri2305]

Lord Muck I get that too haha only 1% of people who watch my videos are subscribed the rest are random searches and shares etc proves they are only to allow you to put ads on videos and bragging and nothing else. As half of them to me aren’t loyal and don’t watch my videos ahah

[@Cotlandfarmer]

Great video Kurt, so much interesting information on the modern structure and construction of a tyre. 👍

[@andrewjones2640]

Really interesting video especially about the front weight 👍

[@markmortensen4341]

A lot of info there. But when your looking at the high cost of tyres (tires) you have to do everything you can to do what's best for your tractor and to see what your needs are.

[@donc81]

Great video. Interesting info about the tire intended vehicles with an inflation system. I liked that bead buster tool your tire guy was using. I didn’t see him using a tire hammer

[@LordMuck]

It saves a lot of sweat Don !

[@elifleming5723]

Learned an awful lot about tyres here today, Kurt!

[@2xxx2xxx21]

Thanks for the info, very helpful.Them "road tyres" would be ideal for carting nd hedgcutting trailer work,low loader stuff but when i put my plough on or in heavey wet ground conditions id have to stick with the tractor tire as most people know them to be.i run michellens now but would love to get the trye thats on a hinge sorta thing for both appilcations

[@LordMuck]

I'd like to try a set of the RoadBibs on the plough Tom.

[@2xxx2xxx21]

Lord Muck~so would i because im.pretty much sold on them its just draught work it would be interesting.The Roadbia tryes probably be best on loader tractor

[@Jonny1388]

Great video kurt! Bloody interesting stuff! I think Ian is ment to be coming out to our 1050 at some point I believe, so we can make the best use of the vario grip on the tractor. I was as surprised as you about constantly weighting the front end, but it does make sense now I’ve heard it from the experts. Il have to buy myself a new dinner bag! Lol Take care mate

[@carterfarms301]

Might be getting them tires on the fastrac also I love these vids cause u learn so much

[@LordMuck]

A guy in Yorkshire runs them on his Fastracs and loves them.

[@big23man]

Earns his 💷 that Dan them tyres are beasts to work on

[@big23man]

Great tyre talk loved it

[@RustyGlovebox]

Lots of good information about tires for the load and air pressure to consider for maximum wear and traction. Thanks and take care

[@LordMuck]

Glad you enjoyed it Lloyd.

[@ginggur17]

Nice vid. I’m only about 10 miles from the Holbeach land. Interesting indeed. Thankyou.

[@mmccoy577]

Interesting Tires

[@TemeraireJimny]

It really is very clever stuff nowadays that they are putting into tyres!

[@alanshelby5980]

The 3 axle trailer is like the best trailer I have ever seen. Put it on a boat and sent it over.

[@w056007568]

A most interesting and educational video Kurt. I am really looking forward to follow ups on this subject matter as I suspect many operators have a lot to learn on this subject. One wonders what might be the best choice for a loader (both tractor and 4X4 type)?

[@LordMuck]

I'm hoping to actually demonstrate and show how these different tyres perform rather than just read what the spec sheet tells us.

[@mrlarrylandman]

great video once again

[@jakepearce4025]

Does Henry do videos? I'm from holbeach too so interesting to see or hear abit more about the local farming.

[@LordMuck]

Henry is on Snapchat and will be appearing in some more videos this year.

[@jakepearce4025]

Lord Muck good to hear, love the friendly atmosphere on this channel, keep it up. Any idea what Henry's snapchat name is, if he wouldn't mind you sharing it? Thanks

[@2fast65]

are these tires available in the USA I work for a county highway department we have 2 dedicated tractors that mow ditches and we wear out tires terrible these look like they would work great we run Michelin snow plus tires on our loaders that ware and grip awesome great video thanks be safe.

[@LordMuck]

I've just spoken to the guy at Michelin and they should be available in the States once the final design has been signed off. At a guess I would say early next year by the time all the promo and marketing has been done so still a while but it will soon be here before you know it !

[@CAMAROFAN45]

Lord Muck I was just wondering myself sure looks like it's a good tire. Btw how does it do on the field

[@LordMuck]

Joel they reckon pretty good in the field but I want to try them out and show you guys.

[@CAMAROFAN45]

Lord Muck good idea cause I like the looks of these almost as if they'll have a better grip cause of more lugs

[@lholleran100]

They look like the Nokian hakkapelitta that are available now in the USA.

[@RowynDaily]

Is that tire can be use in Man TGS trucks?

[@mlevesque3022]

The tires are cool, but I am more interested in the track in the background.

[@LordMuck]

It’s a Deere...

[@ozlakota1]

wish we had your rain just drops down every few days l

[@klugfarmsklug9323]

So why were those new design tires taken off, if the salesman said they would work field & road?

[@LordMuck]

Because the tractor was being shown at other events with the new Ag tread tyres. The RoadBibs had been put on for one individual show.

[@danielmarshall4587]

WOW..... basically "like changing a bicycle tyre"... yes, I'm sure it is, but I'd still pay that good man to do it.

[@luckylawnboy]

This is a great video! Us Americans are always behind you guys!!

[@LordMuck]

I often wonder the same Josh but to be fair you guys don’t have the pressure to get so much from a restricted amount of land so you don’t need to spend so much on being completely cutting edge. I also think there is much we can learn from the USA.

[@LoggerWade]

Haha howdy boys that’s some cool lookin tires guess that’s some sorta street tread... I suppose that’s what the boys use to pull the dump trailers down the road

[@LordMuck]

Yeh could use them for that driver, doubt they'd be much use up to your axles on the skidder !

[@waynedodd8764]

Is it a stupid question. Why don't they run rims locks . like off road 4x4

[@LordMuck]

The rim has a serrated/rough edge that the bead bites on to.

[@papecat]

Look like very desirable tyres mate. How bout for compact tractors, is this tyre available in a bit smaller size say 420/70x24

[@LordMuck]

When they are released I’d say they will be available in smaller sizes yes.

[@agrartechnikmv]

Nice Video 👍greets Marko

[@culmalachie]

INteresting stuff... Plenty to Agree and Disagree about ! Hmmm Basic tractor without FE Ballast .... Carting unnecessary weight around springs to mind - aka Fuel consumption; 150hp tractor and 2 coos in IWT to the Mart :-). Anyfield, those tyres CAN work for ploughing - I use Turg tyres for ploughing and Dozing with my Deere - since years. thanks for the Vid.

[@LordMuck]

I think the point they are making is that due to increased loading for modern applications the tyres have been designed to withstand this but the trade off now is weight is required to get them to flex and run evenly. Good to hear you're getting good use from the Turgs.

[@nigelclatworthy7763]

Are they suitable for the fastrac 4220

[@LordMuck]

They will be when released yes.

[@SuperSparkie123]

Gotta disagree with the expert I'm afraid! We take the weight off thentractor if it's doing trailer work! 6920 On 7700 hours on the original tyres and it's done allot of road work! I can guarantee these would not have lasted if the weight block is on the front!

[@LordMuck]

You’re running old style tyres so I’d agree about removing weight. If you went for the modern equivalent you’d be better having some weight.

[@SuperSparkie123]

David Rowley would say around the 2.2 ton on average

[@aa5871]

Are tractors Tubeless then?

[@harryjohansson255]

Nokian TRI 2 is almoast the same, maby try Michelin?

[@austriagamed9834]

why did you change them ?:)

[@LordMuck]

It was because Michelin and John Deere wanted to take it to some shows to display them.

[@austriagamed9834]

@@LordMuck ah ok thx for the quik response :)

[@TemeraireJimny]

Oh and while I think about it, taking weight off the front when towing a box trailer or tanker or whatever makes no sense at all. On the majority of such implements the wheels are at the back or possibly the centre and so because of leverage they have to transfer a lot of weight into the hitch, thus causing the tractor to pivot about the back axle lifting the front wheels. The exception being something with a front axle of it's own like a bale trailer.

[@LordMuck]

No, taking weight off the front axle used to stop the tyres heating and scalloping out. Designs and technology have now changed to prevent this from happening to such an extent.

[@TemeraireJimny]

Doesn't make sense. If you have a say 20t muck spreader on a single axle it will potentially be imposing a loading on the hitch anything from 4 or 5 tonnes upward depending on how the axle is positioned. That's going to affect the front wheels of the tractor, it's physics.

[@LordMuck]

So why have we all spent the last 50 years removing weight on road work to prevent excess heat and wear ? Weights left on for roadwork killed tyres. It’s a simple plain fact.

[@LordMuck]

The rear tyres would heat and wear but there’s nothing you could do about that but you could prevent the fronts wearing out at the same time therefore getting more hours out of them and not needing the expense of replacing all four in one go. Michelin have seen an increase in fixed weight and also front mounted implements and have developed a modern range that are stronger and less prone to wear. However, this now means they need weight to get them to flex and ride correctly.

[@TemeraireJimny]

Probably because the inherent balance point of tractors has altered over the years, becoming less nose heavy and more neutral as weight has been increased in complexity of transmissions and strength of rear ends and now tyres have caught up, meaning that the front needs to be weighted to account for towed implements. Probably.

[@TheGreatBritishFarm]

A ton permanently on the front on the road? Take it diesel is free?

[@LordMuck]

I take it you have absolutely no idea about VF technology tyres 🙄

[@TheGreatBritishFarm]

@@LordMuck Fact is you're still lugging at least a ton more total deadweight up all the hills, just let some more air out. If you're doing a lot of roadwork then going for VF tyres is a bit wasteful.

[@LordMuck]

If it's a tractor just carting then VF is a waste of money. If you have front mounted equipment or Central Tyre Inflation then VF is a game changer

[@LordMuck]

"Just letting some air out" isn't how VF technology works. They are designed to work almost in reverse to a standard tyre. The weight ensures even wear and performance. Increased fuel useage is minimal.

[@TheGreatBritishFarm]

@@LordMuck Oh yes, CTI is a great bit of kit, not a doubt. To go back to my original comment though. Was he not saying with all modern tyres you need this weight on the front? May be wrong but
