Description
At 900mm wide, the 900/60R38 tyre is the widest flotation wheel you can get while still keeping under 3m road width. The BKT 900/60R38 is an IF tyre, you can lower the pressures to 20% lower than a standard tyre. We use a Bridgestone front to work with the ratio, and this is a VF tyre – so you can lower the pressures to 40% lower than a standard tyre.
For a premium VF tyre in this size, we’d recommend the Bridgestone 900/60R38 set – set code A0145-VA-4. With these VF tyres you can lower the pressures to 40% lower than a standard tyre so are the best option for minimising compaction and maximising flotation.
