Suggestions for rubber on steel rims

BC Iowa · Sep 13, 2013

Hi all, I see tractor and wagon rims from time to time with a tire tread like rubber bolted to them and I was wondering if this tread can be purchased somewhere in strips or is there something better to use. There doesn't have to be tread, flat would work too. I have an old wagon with 6 inch wide flat steel wheel that I would like to put rubber or something on them. The thought of cutting up old tires doesn't sound like much fun and I would like them to look descent. Thank you for any thoughts.

I have cut strips out of conveyor belting to put on steel wagon rims.

I also think Miller tire has rubber to bolt on steel wheels.

I went to a tire recap place and bought a roll of truck tire tread. Worked excellent.

you can also get old big truck tires most places will give them to you, then take a sawsall and cut around the tread where it meets the sidewall and you will have a nice thick piece of rubber then bolt it thru the original holes in the wheels where the lugs went

Thank you everyone for your ideas, Bryan.

Me too. I told them what my plans were and lucked out and got some that out of date or something they could not use for retreading anymore. Worked perfect for me.

Look for a place that offers "Bandag" Retreading service for the rubber .
