those that are used only for dirt.
Hard-surface solid tires have an essentially flat face with shallow grooves molded in for traction. But because of their design, they will last considerably longer than heavily lugged tires. The smooth skid-steer tire is just as its name implies; it has no tread whatsoever. It eliminates the possibility of tread-flexing and premature wear and, because of this, they may seem to last forever. However, traction is not one of their best characteristics. They are best suited for commercial worksites, demolition jobs and junkyards where traction is not a concern.
Like the all-terrain tire, the mud-terrain tire has angled lugs and plenty of self-cleaning void, but they are specially engineered
for working on muddy surfaces. These tires are highly damageresistant and offer consistent, forward-moving traction through mud, snow and other deep, soft terrain. For those who work in landscaping and other applications where surface damage needs to be avoided, the turf and floatation tire is the perfect tool for the job. Bearing a tread pattern like that of a passenger car, these tires will help you maintain the quality of your client’ s established lawns and finished areas by“ floating” on those surfaces to minimize damage. They have excellent traction despite their shallow treads. As an option for those who regularly work in wet or soft ground conditions, the“ super-float” tire is 85 % larger than its standard turf cousin, providing a much larger
footprint for extra floatability.
“ Use the right tool for the job” is a mantra that applies just as much to skid steer tires as it does to hammers and screwdrivers. With so many options available, there is no need to reinvent the wheel( pun intended.) To decide which tires to buy for your skid steer, determine what you are going to be using it for the most. Whereas almost all skid-steer tires can work in a variety of environments, you should determine what its primary job is going to be and buy accordingly.
Not only will your machine and its tires live a long and healthy life, but you will enjoy that time working together as you see how satisfying it is to plow effortlessly through to a job well done.
