15-19.5 Skid Steer Tires

Buying 15-19.5 tires

15-19.5 is the size for the largest skid steer loaders, and it is also fitted to some compact wheel loaders and telehandlers. It is about 15 inches (381 mm) wide on a 19.5-inch rim. It is bigger and taller than 14-17.5, carries more weight and gives more flotation on soft ground and more ground clearance.

Choosing a 15-19.5 tire

• Ply rating: 14-ply and 16-ply are common. Match or exceed what the machine runs now, especially with heavy attachments.
• Tread: deep lugs for mud, dirt and snow; wider, flatter treads for long life on concrete and asphalt.
• Puncture-proof options: foam-filled or solid tires are an option for scrap, demolition and rebar work. Ask if you need them.

Rims

The 19.5-inch rim used here is an industrial rim, not interchangeable with 16.5-inch or 17.5-inch skid steer wheels, and it is not a truck wheel. If you are changing size, you need matching wheels with the right bolt pattern and offset. See wheels and rims.

Replace all four

Skid steers turn by driving one side faster than the other. Keep all four tires the same size and similar tread depth, or the machine pulls and the drive chains wear.

Used tires

Ask for the tread depth, the date code and photos of the sidewalls, and look for cuts and repairs.

What do 15-19.5 tires cost on our site?

We list 1 model in 15-19.5. One has a listed price: $622 per tire (Ascenso SSB 331). Prices are per tire in US dollars and change with stock and season.

How tall is the 15-19.5 tire?

The nominal overall diameter is about 45 in (1,143 mm), which gives a rolling circumference near 141 in (3,591 mm). That figure is an estimate that assumes an 85% aspect ratio, the usual rule for old inch sizes. Real tires vary by make and load, so treat it as a guide and use the tire diameter calculator or the lead-lag calculator before you change size on a front-wheel-assist tractor.

Is 15-19.5 a radial or a bias tire?

It is a bias-ply size. The dash in the size marks bias construction, which costs less and has stiffer sidewalls. See the radial vs bias guide.
