Abstract

Wheel tires are the only contact of forest vehicles with the ground through which forces or loads are transmitted to the forest floor.
Forestry experts therefore need to select tires carefully when equipping vehicles based on their dimensional and constructional characteristics as well as ground and stand conditions. The basic characteristics of tires are processed through their construction, dimensions and marking, load index, speed symbol, inflation pressure and tread pattern. Due to the frequently increased moisture of forest soils and their limited bearing capacity, special attention is paid to the additional equipment of forest vehicle tires with chains, ie semi-tracks in order to reduce forest soil damage and gain efficiency.
