The importance of choosing the right wheels cannot be overstated when optimizing your tractor's performance. The right choice of tractor wheel always depends on your tires and the special need for the task at hand.
Using compatible wheels ensures that your tractor’s tires operate at the optimal level. Read more and find wheels that are a perfect match for your tires, machine, and work.
Selecting the right tractor wheels
When choosing tractor wheels, consider the following factors to ensure you make the best decision:
- Load capacity: Ensure the wheels can support the weight of your tractor and any additional loads. Overloading can lead to premature wear and potential failures, compromising safety and performance.
- Terrain and application: Match the wheels to your tractor's terrain and applications. Certain tasks and environments may require specialized wheels for optimal performance.
- Durability and material: Choose wheels made from high-quality materials that can withstand the demands of your work. Durable and compatible wheels reduce the risk of damage and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
- Compatibility with the tire: Your wheels should always be compatible with the tire to ensure the best possible performance and safety. For instance, traction force may cause incompatible tires to slip from the wheel. So-called knurling in the wheel is designed to prevent tire slippages.
- Manufacturer support: Opt for wheels from reputable manufacturers, like Nokian Tyres, so all the support and guarantees come from one place.
Understanding tractor wheels
A wheel consists of a rim and a disc. Rim contours are standardized and differ according to the service type. Standardization ensures that tires and wheels are compatible with each other.
Wheel discs are characterized by offset position, attachment, and center hole, and their dimensions can be found from the tractor. Tires must be used on rims that meet the industry standards. It is the vehicle manufacturer’s and user’s responsibility to ensure that rims adhere to these standards.
Standards for tire and rim combinations ensure that a tire is mounted and fitted safely to the rim. Standards manuals provide the proper rim dimensions and the correct rim contours for each tire size and service condition.
Furthermore, the choice of tractor wheels is also up to the type of machinery and work. You can consult your local Nokian Tyres dealer when looking for compatible wheels with your tractor and its tires.
The rims used with Nokian Heavy Tyres products have a wide well-base design. Wide well-base contours include W (wide well) and DW (deep well) rim contours, the latter of which facilitates better mounting for high PR (stiffer construction) tires. Besides DW rim contours, newer types include TW (triple well) rims that have more bends in the contour shape, making them easier to mount.

Tractor wheels: A perfect companion to your tires
Tractor wheels and tires work in tandem to deliver optimal performance in agricultural applications. Matching a tractor’s wheels with the right type of tire improves its use:
- Optimal performance: Compatible tractor wheels enable your tires to operate at peak efficiency, whether you are pulling a heavy trailer or need to ensure minimal soil compaction on the field.
- Safety and stability: Safety should be at the forefront of all agricultural operations. The right combination of tires and wheels reduces the risk of tire slippage and ensures your tires perform even in challenging conditions.
- Durability and tire life: Tire damage is a real threat to safety, not to mention the costs of replacing tires due to premature and uneven wear or blowouts. Durability and long service life are particularly important in uneven or challenging terrains.
Nokian Tyres' complete wheels provide a perfect match of wheel and tire. The wheels perform under the demands of modern-day agricultural work owing to their high-grade Scandinavian steel, optional reinforcements and durable double coating.
