Brand New 24.5X32 Pro Puller Built In USA

Registered: 09/16/2016 Posts: 170 |
Pro Puller Tires has started production on an all new 24.5X32 tire, built right here in the U.S!
The first tires have just started to roll off the line, and we hope to have a tire at the Gordyville pull to showcase. The first three pictures were taken unmounted, and the last two were taken at 5 psi for accurate pulling pressure profile. Here are a few specs on the tires: Price: $7,900 per set Circumference: 208.75" - 209" at 10 psi (the first few tires were all within .25" of each other, the consistency in sizing is great!) Width: 25" shoulder to shoulder Tread depth: 3/8" from factory Bar angle: 21 degrees Rubber hardness: 80 points in the tread face, 65 points in the sidewall Weight: 410 lbs each uncut Recommended rim width: 26" or 27" Bar Count: 48 We kept the wider profile to keep our footprint advantage in tact. The tires will have a rim guard on them, to protect aluminum wheels from scratches and for a cleaner sidewall profile. The shoulders of the tires are more square than our previous model, so you can notch them if you prefer that style of cut. We will be doing the winnings program for the 2018 on these tires as well as our other style of tires. These tires will be available through all cutters listed on our website, or purchased direct from us. There will be track testing done on the tires before full production is up and running to ensure we've gotten it right. Tires should be available for delivery by end of January.

I see some Super Swamper and some Boggers in the background so I am going to say maybe Interco is casting them. |

OK2NV,
The factory we are working with does some overload manufacturing for Interco, but it is not them producing the tires. Thanks! Aaron Docter Pro Puller Tires 402-840-0244 Aaron@propullertires.com |

What does a comparable Firestone tire weigh? Are they heavier or lighter? |

usapuller & Cody,
Thank you, we are very excited to get these out on a track for testing! There are many logistical and other advantages to a US built tire. We are proud to bring production back to the states! They are being built by a factory out of the east coast. WTW. The tires weigh about 410 and Firestones are about 400 lbs each. Where the little bit of extra weight comes from is that our tires are a full width 25" shoulder to shoulder when aired up to spec. This equates to around 10-15% more traction than a skinnier tire.

30.5,
Yes, we are in the design phase for the new 30.5s as we speak. More information will come available as we progress. Aaron Docter Pro Puller Tires 402-840-0244 aaron@propullertires.com |

If somebody’s looking to give away a set of 20.8 pullers I’d have no problem taking them off your hands. |

Red River,
Feel free to give me a call and we can discuss the possibility of a trade in. Last season we had over 90 paid wins alone (first place in a class with 8 or more tractors) that got $100 each win, and we will be doing the winnings program once again in the 2018 season. There were also 10 points champions for the past season. There is still a market for the older style tires out there, we can help you find it. For any questions or concerns get a hold of me.

Will the 20.8s be made in the US also? |

Sod Buster,
At this point, the 20.8 and 18.4's are being built offshore since the US factory does not have the 38" drum that it takes to build the pullers here. We have the tooling capability to build the 24.5x32" tires here now, so we are. The cost to build tires Stateside is much higher than off shore, so we are feeling the market on whether it is worth the difference, and the 24.5 is where we chose to try it. We have teamed up with a great factory offshore (and have used them for years) that not only are building the 18.4R38's and 20.8R38" pullers for us, they are building great ag and industrial tires for many other US tire companies as well. The factory we are using has good consistency in matching the sizing, and weight and are open to the changes that we are demanding. One of the problems faced in building a puller tire is the lack of volume compared to other tires. Even though we all eat, breath and sleep pulling as a pastime, the volume of puller tires built in a year's time is so low that not many manufacturing companies will allot the time to build them. The other issue is that the precision that we, as pullers demand, is so different than the tires that we use in our farming operations. Let's face it. When is the last time you bought tractor tires for your farm tractor and demanded, the desired weight, maximum circumference, rubber hardness, etc. etc. Your tire guy would look at you cross eyed. We love this sport, and are trying to build an alternative product that will compete at any level, at a price that will save you some serious money. We are continually listening to the cutters and pullers, and working directly with the manufacturing process to deliver a product that we can be proud of, and you can win with.

Questions
|
So you say these are 25 inches wide but the rule says 24.5? |

Questions,
Thanks for asking! We have built them to be within spec when fully inflated. The quote below is directly from the PPL rule book, "24.5X32 maximum of 210 inch circumference, when inflated to 10psi on a 26” rim. Tread width not to exceed 25”." The tires will be compliant with this rule. Let me know if you have any more questions about them! Aaron Docter Pro Puller Tires 402-840-0244 www.propullertires.com www.facebook.com/propullertires |

We have a test tire in hand and will be displaying it at our booth in Gordyville!
The tire looks great, and we are excited to get them out on the track this winter for some testing. Be sure to stop by and talk to us about this tire and check out our full line of pulling tires, as well as all other tires for day to day use (semi, farm fronts and rears, industrial, car/truck, etc.) We look forward to seeing you there!
