Why Flat-Proof Skid Steer Tires?
Skid steer tires are expensive enough, so why risk getting a costly or time wasting flat on a job site? Flat proof skid steer tires will not only pay for themselves by avoiding an untimely flat from an errant nail or a sidecut, but they will also save you the loss of money and man hours from downtime from finding, buying, and changing a new tire, or repairing the flat. How much money do you currently lose when changing a flat tire?
Skid Steer Solutions has improved the flat proof tire and sells it on their website under the eTerra name. By updating the design to the existing flat proof tire design, they have improved the basic performance of their skid steer tires immensely.
They started out by adding rubber to the base of the tread of the skid steer tires, and spacing the holes out wider so the tread is better supported. This additional support helps reduce the weight per square inch that is absorbed by the tread, which keeps you from tearing the edge of the lugging off when you’re running on tracks.
Skid Steer Solutions started out as a track company, so they know their tracks. When they started designing their flat proof skid steer tires, they tried them out on all sorts of over-the-tire track systems. To reduce slipping and protect the side of the tread, they made the side walls thicker. Now tracks will run smoothly on your skid steer tires, and last a lot longer too.
And because these tires are made with extra material, they can also handle a higher load capacity than the traditional pneumatic skid steer tires. You can carry more, work harder, and get more done with the flat proof tires.
The eTerra tires are also made with additional rubber, rather than the typical foam-filled type of tires. The rubber tires weigh less than the foam filled, which means you use less horsepower, which means fuel savings.
But these tires are also price competitive with other skid steer tires. So you don’t even have to justify the extra costs. Just get the flat proof skid steer tires, and avoid the lost wages, lost time, and additional repair costs.
