1gor Posted February 17, 2016 Hi! Sorry for the name! -> I think I messed up . I tried to blame it on autocorrection but does not really make sense! I also checked on tractor tyres for my Xerion...but 100 EURO....will see. JB No problem about my name. And auto-correct can work like Indian translator... I've contacted Herr Kunz about tires, and wee'll see what I can do. Perfect will be that LEGO makes this one in red http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=88517&idColor=85#T=C&C=85 so I can use a pair of them per wheel...

If I want to realize project that is in my current plans, I have no choice. I doubt that LEGO will make 135 mm tires with pattern like one on Xerion 5000 VC. and to "stretch" Power puller tire on this overall diameter will result in very narrow tire for sprayer or something like that...From my point of view optimal solution for Power puller tire you can see on my folder under this link http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=535390 Hi!

1gor Posted February 22, 2016 Let me/us know when you got the tyres...I am still thinking of mine... JB I will. that is no problem. In about 8 weeks time they'll be ready and another week for shipment...Just a slight difference - beacause I need them for rear wheel - mine will be used on double motorcycle wheels (this one) http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=88517&idColor=85#T=C&C=85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBTechnic Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I decided to go with the exhaust pipe...even though the new models do not have it I think it is somehow iconic...

Dafgek81 Posted February 22, 2016 That might be true, but if you have build a replica of the nee type, you have to loose the pipe. The new one has an exhaust box between the front and back tire under the cab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBTechnic Posted February 22, 2016 I can change whenever I want...it is quick to disassemble the big exhaust pipe and put on the small one at the cabin. My Xerion is now where I wanted it to be...driving, cabin turning, pneumatic...my Kids already hae fun. Now it is time to build somthing the Xerion can pull...

emielroumen Posted March 12, 2016 The tires look great! I'm looking for better tires for the 42030 Volvo loader on the original rims, suggestions are welcome! A bit wider and higher would be excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBTechnic Posted March 12, 2016 I do not have the Volvo. But looking at it, GMade Bighorns might be a good choice. What tread pattern are you looking for? JB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dafgek81 Posted March 13, 2016 The problem with the Volvo is that the rims are to big, the ratio between rim and tire on a loader is about 50/50, so I think it should use the rims off 8265 and tires with the same outer diameter as the ones on there now. Width is about right I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBTechnic Posted March 13, 2016 I agree, smaller rims will look better. Difficult to find...couple of threads I posted some links to shops. JB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dafgek81 Posted March 14, 2016 Well of you use the 8265 loader rims, the should be about the right size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1gor Posted March 31, 2016 I will. that is no problem. In about 8 weeks time they'll be ready and another week for shipment...Just a slight difference - beacause I need them for rear wheel - mine will be used on double motorcycle wheels (this one) http://alpha.brickli...lor=85#T=C&C=85 Hi Everyone, few days ago tires arrived. First impression - they are very very heavy and tread pattern does not look like one on real tractor and LEGO Xerion, but like tire for equipment like sprayer (not self propelled one but like this one http://www.getfarming.com.au/cdt/uploads/1/features/1200710311912.jpg), so there is no use for me. Another problem is that wheel does not fit nicely enough inside the tire sou I had to "play" with sandpaper in order to fit in this wheel (a pair of them per tire) http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=88517&idColor=85#T=C&C=85 I can take pictures and show you what disappointment from my point of view it is. Now I can only hope that LEGO makes 135mm tire that has fully compatible pattern tread with Xerion tire. I know that you expected this post earlier and aI can only thank you for patience.

bonox Posted December 14, 2016 properly impressive. It's been great to see your continual little improvements :) a few mocers have definately encouraged me to buy third party tyres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBTechnic Posted December 15, 2016 I've choosen a scale of 1:16 and needed to go for different tyres. What tyres are you looking for? JB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
