A feed mixer works under constantly changing loads: heavily laden towards the barn, empty back to the clamp, over the road and across the yard. That alternation demands a tyre that holds its shape, stays stable in corners and rolls comfortably on hard surfaces. The right feed mixer tyre prevents that tipping sensation with a full tub and limits the wear caused by incorrect pressure or insufficient load capacity.
HBI Tyres & Wheels supplies a complete programme of tyres and complete wheel sets for feed mixers, silage wagons and trailed vehicles. From compact sizes for narrow barn passages to wide flotation sizes that keep ground pressure low, we determine together with you the size and pattern that match your machine, your route and your operating hours.
HBI has supplied tyres and wheels to the livestock and contracting sector for decades, and knows the common feed mixers and silage wagons inside out. That means we advise not only on size but on application: which tyre keeps your specific machine stable, comfortable and economical at work, day after day.
Feed mixer tyres that stay put where you need them.
A full feed mixer carries a lot of weight high above the axle. Our tyres are built to carry that load without sagging, so the machine stays stable while mixing, driving and unloading.
A sturdy sidewall reduces the tipping sensation in corners and keeps the tub balanced, even on a sloping yard.
Feeding often means several trips a day across hard surfaces. A radial pattern with low rolling resistance rides more calmly, uses less fuel and spares your tractor driveline.
Fewer vibrations also mean more comfort for the driver during the many short trips.
Around the bunker silo and on the yard, ground pressure counts. Flotation and wide sizes spread the weight across a larger contact area, so you leave fewer ruts and protect the surface.
That keeps the working area around the clamp passable, even in a wet autumn.
Not every feed mixer has the same clearance or axle layout. We supply the tyre on its own or as a complete tyre and wheel set built to specification, so fitting runs quickly and without surprises.
Unsure about the right size? Our specialists know the common feed mixers and will think along with you.

The common feed mixer sizes from stock, with advice on size and fitting.
With a feed mixer, everything revolves around the weight of a full tub, which sits high above the axle and varies sharply between trips. Choose a tyre with ample load capacity and a sturdy sidewall so the wagon stays stable while mixing, driving and unloading. The load index must match your heaviest load at your highest driving speed, with a safe margin on top.
The surface determines the pattern. If you drive mainly on hard surfaces between clamp and barn, a radial pattern with low rolling resistance is comfortable and economical. If you work a lot around the bunker silo on loose or wet ground, a wide or flotation pattern gives more grip and fewer ruts. Many feed mixers do both, so a good balance between comfort and grip is often the best choice.
Pay attention to sizing and the space in the wheel arch as well. A wider tyre lowers ground pressure but must fit without fouling. That is why we supply not only the tyre but also complete tyre and wheel sets built to the specification of your machine, so fitting and fit are right first time.
The correct tyre pressure keeps the tyre in good condition longer and the wagon more stable. Too low a pressure causes shoulder wear and higher fuel use on the road; too high a pressure wears the centre and gives less grip in the field. Our specialists will advise the pressure that suits your route and operating hours.
Do not forget maintenance. A feed mixer runs daily, so it pays to check pressure weekly and keep the tyres clean. Watch for early shoulder wear, which often points to low pressure combined with many road kilometres. Small corrections made in time prevent premature replacement and keep the wagon safe.
