Better tires for my splitter

[ed guinn]

Hello guys.I'm fairly new here but I've been looking & thinking about some different tires for my splitter. What I have is the Speeco/Husty 37 ton splitter,bought new, this thing has those 10" diameter tires on it. Has anybody upgraded these to something better, they just don't look like they would go very many miles on the highway nor do hold up real well. Give me some ideas for upgrading the with maybe a larger wheel & tire if you don't mind. Thanks Ed

Just get a new larger axle maybe? Scrounge up a boat trailer and use that axle?

Problem is most convertible splitters count on you using the stock dia. tires so the foot plate is flat on the ground and the engine is somewhat level. It would take some reconfiguring of the beam mount or maybe a drop axle to run a bigger O.D tire without ending up with the ram 4' off the ground.

You could keep the tires you have by simply letting out the winter air and putting in some summer air.
