Best Tires to Run a Skid Steer Backhoe Attachment

Why Traction Is Important When Running a Skid Steer Backhoe Attachment 

Traction is the name of the game when operating a skid steer with a backhoe attachment. These machines are almost always off-road and need a tire that is puncture-proof and one that won't get stuck.

The EWRS-AT tire has superior traction to traditional pneumatic tires on the market. Designed with the biggest lugs in the game, Evolution Wheel was able to get rid of the center wear bar to maximize wear life without losing traction. 

Benefits Of a Larger Lug

The EWRS-AT features unique core geometry that allow the tire to compress like a pneumatic. Compression in a tire increases traction as it allows the rubber to flex around objects instead of just slipping on them. 

The large lugs can grab onto the bush and dig into the ground driving the vehicle forward instead of digging itself into a hole like other tires. This is important when operating in muddy areas or on soft ground. 

EWRS-AT SERIES

The EWRS-AT series of 14x17.5 skid steer tires were designed to meet the needs of today's job site demands. We came up with a way to offer you serviceability, traction, and a comfortable ride all in one!

With serviceable 14x17.5 skid steer tires sections, the need for a service truck and specialized technicians is all but eliminated. We have reduced your service tooling down to only a 3/4" wrench in your operator's back pocket and repair parts are readily available in your nearest onsite storage container or in the toolbox of your pickup.

We spared no expense in creating this product and weren't afraid to bring you the largest tread lugs in the industry for serious traction and a long wear life. By reducing the number of lugs on a skid steer tire, we were able to increase the width and height of each lug so we could get rid of the wear bars running through the center of any other skid steer tire you're going to see on the market. This gave us two things: large voids in our tread pattern allowing for unmatched material cleanout, and a long wear life on our bigger lug.

To make this product the total package, we topped it off by engineering a smooth ride into our design. We worked hard to bring you a proprietary rubber compound that would allow enough compression to reduce operator fatigue and stand up to heavy loads. Did we mention that the compound is also designed so that it won't stress crack? Only a premium compound would do for a premium product, that's the Evolution Wheel standard.
