tire loading

I know I am not the smartest, but I am lost. i have looked at ever chart I could find to find out how many gallons of ballast I can put in my tires. I can not find my tire size. I have Titan 15-19.5 NMS industrial ties on my Mahindra 3016. Can some one point me to a chart to tell me the amount of ballast these tires take? thank you.

I know a 75% fill on a 43x16x20 industrial is about 40-45 gallons. On your smaller tire at a 75% fill I'd say in the 30-35 gallon range. Lets do some math: 620 lbs of rim guard fit into 2 15x19.5 tires so thats about 310lbs. Rim Guard weighs 10.7 lbs per gallon that when divided into 310 = just around 30 gallons. I believe the Rim Guard site may have a capacity chart.

Goodyear has a chart for ballasting search for it in our blog

here you go..

15-19.5 29.0 310.3

So 29 gallons each and the weight would be 310.3 lbs of Rimguard.. of course methanol or Polyethelene Glycol (RV anti- freeze) would be less
