17.5R25 OTR Tires

17.5R25 is a radial off-the-road (OTR) tire for small wheel loaders, backhoes, and graders and earthmovers in lighter service — about 53 inches tall, about 17.5 inches wide, on a 25-inch rim. The size reads: 17.5 = nominal section width in inches, R = radial construction, 25 = rim diameter in inches. Pick the tread depth for the work — E2/L2 and E3/L3 for general loading and grading, deep-tread L5 for rock, quarry and severe loader work.

What Machines Run 17.5R25?

17.5R25 OTR Tire Questions

Q: What machines run 17.5R25 tires?

A: Small wheel loaders — the Caterpillar 926, 930 and 938 class among them — plus backhoes, and graders and earthmovers in lighter E2/L2 and G2 service. It is the standard small-loader OTR size: about 53 inches tall on a 25-inch rim. Call (207) 370-8473 with your machine model and we will confirm fitment before you order.

Q: What does 17.5R25 mean?

A: 17.5 is the nominal section width in inches, R means radial construction, and 25 is the rim diameter in inches. The tire mounts on a 14.00/1.5 rim. Tread depth is separate from the size: the same 17.5R25 size comes in E2/L2, E3/L3 and deep-tread L5 patterns, and an L5 runs taller than a standard-depth tire in the same size.

Q: Can I swap 17.5R25 and 20.5R25 tires on my loader?

A: Not as a direct swap. A 20.5R25 is about 6 inches taller and 3 inches wider and mounts on a wider 17.00/2.0 rim, so a swap means different rims, changed gearing and lift geometry, and a matched set all around. Some loaders in the Cat 926–938 class offer both sizes from the factory — call (207) 370-8473 and we will check what your machine can run before you spend anything.

Q: How much does a 17.5R25 tire cost?

A: It depends on the brand, model and tread depth on the ground today — an L5 like the Maxam MS503 is a different tire from a standard-depth E3/L3. We do not publish prices on these pages because stock and freight change weekly. Call (207) 370-8473 for current pricing and a delivered quote.
