Problem: Load capacity of 56x26 tires

[Hypo]

Hi,

i've got a problem with the load capacity of the 56x26 tires. Has anybody found a solution to improve the maximum load before they collapse?

I already put some pneumatic hoses in there, which improved the load capacity, but they didnt run smooth after.

Are there any "tire in tire solutions" or anything else to fix that problem?

Thanks for any help =)

Maybe you can try insulation hoses used for heating pipes, you know those grey ones.

They come in different sizes and you can make the smaller by cutting them up and you already have a hole in the middle.

And they are somewhat soft, so you have some bouncyness still.

Hi and Welcome to Eurobricks,

For your setup, just stuff some bricks in.between the rim and the tire or maybe another tire.

Or, maybe use a suspension pre-load.

Or use a flat non-baloon type of tyre, those are usually harder.

Look what I´ve done with my power puller wheels on my backhoe loader. I used pillow fiber. Look at this link (its czech lego forum):

First picture is rear of my backhoe, left wheel is without fiber and the right one with it. Weight of this pillow fiber is minimal.

Unconventional, but great. Fits its purpose.

Thank you all for your help. I think i'll try some hard wheel inlets (foam) from RC-Car's.

I have to use the 56x26 because of the diameter (62 is too big, 49 is too small) and the offroad-look.

with kind regards,
