The most expensive tires — LeTourneau L-2350

We continue our series of posts about the most expensive tires. We don't stray far from the topic of miners and move on to the world's largest front-end loader - the LeTourneau L-2350.

Yes, it would be strange if such a dump truck, which we mentioned earlier, was loaded with shovels. Here's a worthy loader that can literally load the dump truck in 4 approaches. It's so huge that it's shipped to the quarry in parts and assembled on site. Meanwhile, the maximum speed of this 263-ton giant is no more than 15 km/h, but even in this mode, it burns up to 4 tons of fuel.

The giant costs almost $8 million, and it's no surprise that tires with a size of 60/80R57 cost between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 rubles per piece.

Interesting fact: the chains you see on the front axle cost as much as the tires themselves, but they are often used only on one axle.
