Looking to buy or sell 23.5R25 tyres?

23.5R25 is the standard mid-size loader tyre – CAT 966 through 972, Volvo L150, equivalent class. Heavy fitment in Australian civil construction and secondary mining.

23.5R25 is the size below 26.5R25 in the major wheel loader range. It fits the CAT 966-972 class, Volvo L150, Komatsu WA380-WA430, Liebherr L 550. Smaller than primary production loaders, larger than civil-yard equipment. The workhorse mid-size loader fitment.

Demand profile is steadier than 26.5R25 – less of the boom-and-bust that comes with tier-one mining contracts. Civil contractors run these machines on water carts, stockpile work, road maintenance and secondary mining. Mid-tier brands have very strong fitment history here.

The right 23.5R25 is usually an L-3 (Bridgestone VSDL+, Michelin XHA2, Goodyear RL-3K) for general-purpose duty. L-4 makes sense where the machine sees harder rock work. L-5 is over-spec for most 966-class duty and rarely justified.
