Does anyone know what size tires came on or will fit on a Pacific Terracer? Thanks!

I drew a zero when I did a search for Cat Pacific Terracer.  Would you have a picture of one. Tire sizes are on the sidewall.

This is the only picture I have at the moment. The tires still have tread life, but they’re weather cracked to the point where they don’t hold air long and the size isn’t really legible.

That is beautiful. very very nice.
Tire measurement methods have changed several times over the years.I went looking for some front Ag. tires for my 1944-46 No.311 Adams Motor Grader. I found tires are not made the old way anymore.So the 7.50 x 24 relates to an 8.3 x 24 now ? Don't know why.
But here is a page that explains how to measure tires and wheels for today's tire sizes.
Good luck.

I’ll look into Miller tire. I remember it’s kind of an odd size, and very similar to like a dirt bike sized tire. Thanks!

Fat Dan thanks for the info. I’m glad you brought up Adam’s graders. I have a quick side question. I’m not sure how a motor grader steers, but we have an Adam’s 124S (all the way to the right) and the front knuckle is frozen. It’s turning whatever attaches the ball inside the kingpin, but not swiveling inside the joint. Did Adam’s make manuals like Cat?

looks like a trail bike tyre. though the single bar tread like tractor steer tyres have would probably work the best. becuase you dont need traction you need good tracking

Good point. I did find some 4.00” x 18” tires, and they look real close to what is on there currently. I can probably find out Saturday what the tires say (if they’re still readable)
