Technical Facts about Skid Steer Tires for Bobcat and other equipment

Watertown, MA, December 15, 2016 (Newswire.com) - With zero radius turning, skid steer tires generate a lot of friction. This is an indication of the special nature of these tires. With a lot of attention on the maneuverability of the skid steer, the tires have to be the best. The required versatility and pirouetting action calls for a robust and durable build, only made possible by the use of superior quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes.

Read on to understand a few technical aspects that you need to look for in skid steer tires.

12-16.5 Extra strong sidewalls on heavy duty tires

Skid steers are exposed to objects and materials that can cause serious damage to the sidewalls of tires. The vulnerability is basically a terrain hazard as the skid steers are meant to operate in such locations. This calls for the design to include extra sidewalls. A good skid steer tire should ideally have extra sidewalls to prevent punctures to the tire during operation. Such tires need to provide excellent protection without affecting the overall performance of the skid steer. Road Warrior 12-16.5 Skid Steer tires for Bobcat and other equipment, are designed with 14 Ply and 16 Ply to ensure performance on tough excavation work.

Self-cleaning design

When operating in some terrain, mud can get trapped in the treads of the tires. If the treads get filled with mud, the tires will be as good as bald and offer less traction. A good skid steer will incorporate self-cleaning tread patterns which will ensure that the mud gets dislodged automatically as the tires turn. These advanced design patterns help to keep the skid steer tire free from mud and junk which can impair optimum operations.

Higher ply ratings

Skid steer tires with higher ply ratings translate into better load carrying capacity. Technically the term plies may appear redundant. But, higher ply ratings indicated on tires are a reflection on the strength of the tires. They inform the user that the tires have a heavier load carrying capacity, and are able to pack in a lot of air pressure. This is a feature that buyers need to look for, especially in skid steer tires. As well as additional technical information such as the availability of bead guards etc.

The quality of the tires needs to match the power packed operation of the skid steers. Choose carefully from reputed sellers and maximize your vehicles productiveness.
