subject: The Importance Of Pneumatic Skid Steer Tires [print this page] Pneumatic skid steer tires are an important accessory to every skid steer loader. In fact, as amazing and unbelievable as some of the skid steer attachments are these days, you can't do much with your skid steer loader if you don't have good tires.
Let's face it, attachments are what make the skid steer what it is. If there is nothing connected to the skid steer boom there are only two things it's capable of: skid and steer. Your skid steer will skid but without good tires that's about all it will do. Badly.
With the appropriate skid steer tires installed on the machine, a skid steer owner can count on years of dependable performance. A quality set of skid steer tires can be counted on to roll onto a construction or landscaping site and make those precision maneuvers that the skid steer machine is famous for, in a myriad of conditions, both good and bad. Rainy or sunny, warm or cold, muddy or dry, grass or asphalt.
The skid steer owner can feel secure in the fact that the skid steer tires and their amazing shock absorbing abilities will result in a comfortable ride and a longer life span for their skid steer loader. They can handle the heavy loads that the machine is used to take on, and the skid steer tires themselves can be had in a number of variations.
Pneumatic skid steer tires are a bargain when compared to flat-proof options and aremade in a variety of sizes and ply builds. The increased number of plies relates to the strength of the skid steer tire. Of course everything comes at a price and greater durability comes at a higher price tag. Price goes up as size increases.
It is also helpful when your tires don't perform well in some conditions like heavy snow and ice and if,like many skid steer loader owner operators,your job has no such thing as a snow day,owning skid steer tracks than can fit over your tires is a big help. They'll keep you running, regardless of the conditions.
There are different tread designs to think about. Some of the designs are quite aggressive for the dirt and mud found in construction and landscaping sites, while others will tear the bejeezus out of a lawn, and they're only used for very muddy, very hilly terrain. But there are other skid steer tires that are almost treadless, for use indoors on smooth concrete and other materials. Keep in mind that only the Solideal XTRA skid steer tires are recommended for use with the Solideal OTT rubber track system.
Pneumatic rubber skid steer tires are standard equipment for your skid steer. Take care of them and they'll keep you rolling in the mud.
