Choosing the right replacement tires for your Bobcat skid steer is not only about tire size or tread design.
For safe mounting and reliable operation, the rim installation parameters must match your existing wheel exactly.
Many Bobcat skid steer owners run into problems after buying replacement tires that look correct but cannot be installed properly. In most cases, the issue is caused by unknown or incorrect rim installation parameters, not the tire itself.
To ensure proper fitment, we need to confirm the following rim installation parameters before recommending replacement tires:
-
Number of bolt holes
-
Diameter of the bolt holes
-
Diameter of the center hole
-
Distance to the edge
-
Diameter of the bolt distribution circle
-
Distance from the flange to the outermost edge of the steel rim (toward the machine side)
Even small differences in these measurements can prevent correct installation, cause poor seating, or create safety risks during operation.
If you are unsure about your Bobcat skid steer rim specifications, the safest solution is to measure your existing rim before ordering replacement tires. This is especially important for used machines, older models, or skid steers that may have non-original rims.
To help you measure accurately, we provide a clear video tutorial that explains how to measure each required rim parameter step by step. After measuring, simply send the data to our sales team. We will verify compatibility and recommend the correct Bobcat skid steer replacement tires that can be mounted safely and without modification.
Confirming rim installation parameters in advance helps you avoid downtime, installation failure, and unnecessary return costs, ensuring your skid steer is ready to work when your tires arrive.
