phildirt Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 My Hyster lowboy trailer has 10.00 x 15 LPT tube tires on Dayton spoke wheels that are ready for a changeout. I' m looking for a chart showing size and compatibility to change to tubeless tires on Dayton wheels. Looks like 11R 17.5 would be a direct swap for the tires but one of the questions is would a 215 75 R 17.5 wheel work with that size tire.

mrgumby Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I’m trying to do the same thing local tire guy says no interchange for tubeless cause the sidewalls are so tall. Was told need to change wheel hubs to go to tubeless I’ve been doing research and it looks like he is correct Tubeless tire are much lower profile and less weight ratings at that size Edited September 5, 2021 by mrgumby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
880joe Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 A 17.5 wheel can be put in place of 15 inch it would be same situation as replacing 20 inch rims with 22.5's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgumby Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 But the tubeless 17.5 are 31” tall and the 15” tube tire are 36” tall that’s all I could find and in a lowboy those few inches make a diffence in the ground clearance That’s all I could find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swishy Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 On trucks we changed from 1000Rx20 tubed to 11Rx22.5 tubeless = exactly same diameter on floats we changed from 8.25Rx15 tubed to 9.5Rx17.5 tubless = exactly same diameter No need to swap dayton spider spoke hubs all interchangeable and U can pare up tubless with tubed the following info is not an indorsment but good info cya 2019FS43.bmp 2019FS44.bmp 2019FS45.bmp 2019FS46.bmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgumby Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I know all about the tubeless and tube swaps have done many of them but the tires on my low bed aren’t just a normal 15 in they have very tall sidewalls every tire guy I’ve talked to 4 in all said the same thing The 36 inch height 15 inch tire doesn’t swap to a 17.5 tubeless height wise I need the 36 inch height or a little more so the low bed stays off the ground so it doesn’t belly out. Now they all run 22.5 low profiles for that height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildirt Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 I downloaded and printed the charts - can't read them in either format, thanks for trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swishy Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Phildirt gudday m8 a 1000 x 15 is 10inch + 15" + 10" = about 35" a 11R 17.5 = 36.4" dependin on make n tread as they all vary a little https://www.otrusa.com/shop/truck-tires/11r17-5-14pr-sumitomo-st717-tl/ cya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildirt Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 I guess that I can deal with either a 10R x 17.5 or an 11R x 17.5 tire diameter. My question is will they fit on any 17.5 wheel or will there be a difference in wheel width as the outside diameter gets larger. The 215 x 17.5 wheels I am looking at are much smaller in diameter but I can't tell if the wheel itself is narrower in width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phildirt Posted October 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Don't have any handy of just the trailer. When I got it it was a run hard oil field work trailer. I put new side rails and cross members, brakes, lights and paint. I also rebushed the entire suspension (Hyster was gone by then Etnyre still provided the bushings). 8/4" white oak for the deck. It has a Braden winch (20,000 slp), 90' of 5/8 cable, mounted on the head end of the trailer. Hydraulic driven off the B75 wet line. It still shows battle scars from days in the patch. Here is a picture behind the B75 with the Sixty Caterpillar on board. Edited October 21, 2021 by phildirt 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
