How many tons can a 750 tire carry?
2 Answers
750 tires can carry 10 to 12 tons. Here is the relevant introduction about tires: 1. Tire performance: Tires are round elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. They are usually mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface, and ensure the vehicle's driving performance. 2. Usage conditions: Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance. Additionally, they are required to have high wear resistance, flex resistance, and low rolling resistance and heat generation.
As a veteran truck driver with over 20 years of experience, 750 tires in the standard 7.50R16 size can each bear approximately 1.2 to 1.5 tons, depending on the brand and grade of your tires. For example, the Bridgestone model I usually choose for freight can handle about 1.4 tons. The load capacity of tires isn't a fixed number—it's greatly affected by tire pressure. Insufficient or excessive pressure can reduce the load-bearing capacity and even lead to blowouts, so I always check the pressure gauge before setting off. The overall load of the vehicle should also be balanced; don't put all the weight on just two wheels, as this can cause excessive wear or accidents. Don't slack on maintenance—regularly check the tread wear, and if you find cracks or bulges, replace the tires immediately. In short, safety comes first—avoid overloading, or even the toughest tires won't withstand long-distance bumps.
