Polyester burnout tire?

[xctasy]

Size is 9.00 75 15.3, or near enough to a 225/75 390

Its a P-metric 15.3" tire which might fit my 390 mm TRX rims as a polyester burn out tire. Anyone know about the differences between farm implement tires. These are used for combine harvester tires. Main reason they are 15.3 is to prevent idiots using them on the road. I don't want to use them on the road, I want to use them as burn-out tires for a promo I'm doing for my company. Anyone use implement tires on there off road ranch vehicles. How do the unravel when miss used?

They are really cheap at about 40 bucks and are attached to a common rim type which can be fitted to a stock Ford stud rim centre

I don't know if it will fit those goofy TRX rims - there's only about .050" difference in the two sizes. But an employee at my buddies tire shop had a tire blow off the rim when he was inflating it on the tire changing machine. Broke his arm and blew out the window in the shop. Lucky he wasn't killed.

Feelin' lucky?

Assuming the tire mounted and held air it would seem a combine tire would be reinforced to accept weight. IMHO seems like it would be reinforced to resist compression.

But how would same tire respond to rapid expanding from centrifugal force?

There was a video of a Camaro doing a burnout in a tire burning contest and when tire exploded it took out wheel well and it broke out the hatchback glass.

Mild Vent. Yet again Explorer 8 has let me down by loosing all my posted info. So I'll spend another 30 minutes rewriting what I wrote again. My info wouldn't transfer from the copy to the Word file. Arrgh!!

Thanks for that f-car tire failure. 4 min and 56 secs of sobber viewing. Is wrecking my Mustang Hatch worth 40 bucks. Definately not :nono:

Basically, I can be assured that a such a tire, such as but not limited to the Goodyear 15.3" European New Holland Combine non drive tire is 300 thou bigger than a 15" US rim, but 700 thou smaller than a 16" US rim. The two technical warnings issued by Firestone on the net were relating to these tires generally, and it wasn't a factional slag against any tire maker, it was a very sobber report, and in them, significant personal harm injuries were alluded to. So Greg, your concerns are totally valid. I can assume safely that a worst case scenario would be a 15.3 inch tire on a 16 inch rim, and it would take out the steel tendons amidst its matrix of vulcanised polyester. Many tons of overload would then result from the stress over strain equation.

I am not inciting anyone to do this themselves, as I don't ever work the tollerances on safety. However, fitting a 15.354" 390 mm tire on a 15.3 rim could be experiemented with by me as a good Engineering Technician so long as I use a cage and a non lever method of bead popping, such as a ridgidly mounted rated pressure vessel with 105 psi presure and specialized 1.5" air valve with special air discharge neck which mounts the vessel firmly agains the steel or alloy rim. 54 thou is not going to cause a ton of extra tire loop yield.

I used to replace Ford Trader and Mazda Titan T4000 falt deck tires back when I was 15 working for my dads power utility company. I was the sacrifical lamb. But we always used a tire cage and with split rims, the tire iron or lever has to be chained. At Biosecurity, my mate Hamish and Allan use a the rated vessle to pop tires back on to the rims for our many US imports which no longer have air in the tires after a 6 wek journey aroundthe Panama cannal or whatever. We used the vessel on that old Fairlane 500, and its safe if its held by a jig.
