Non-Marking Skid Steer Tires vs Standard Skid Steer Tires

Another significant difference between non-marking skid steer tires and traditional black skid steer tires is the use of carbon black. Carbon black is the ingredient that gives tires their black shade, however, is also the reason they leave black marks behind so it can’t be used in non-marking tires. Carbon black is also the ingredient that gives the black tires anti-static properties. This means that non-marking tires don’t eject static thus making them a hazard. This safety concern however can easily be fixed by using grounding strips.

When it comes to price non-marking tires tend to be a bit more expensive. This is because the ingredients to make the non-marking tires are more expensive than our regular marking skid steer tires.

Features of the EWRS-NM Series

The EWRS-NM series is offered in both our hard surface and all-terrain tread designs as well as both our skid steer and telehandler models. They feature all the same benefits of traction and a comfortable ride, however, because they are made of synthetic rubber and silica instead of natural rubber, there are some differences such as:

• Good traction
• Low rolling resistance
• Low heat build-up
• Non-marking
• Same performance as traditional skid steer tires
• Have a slightly shorter lifespan than traditional skid steer tires
• Require the use of grounding straps because they don’t have the anti-static properties of standard skid steer tires

Most applications where non-marking tires are required will be indoor environments with hard surfaces. For this reason, our hard surface tread pattern is by far our most popular non-marking tire however we still offer a non-marking option in the all-terrain tread pattern as well for those specific applications.

All off Evolution Wheels tires are segmented for easy serviceability. With only a 3/4" wrench, the operator can change the segments in minutes if one of the segments gets damaged. Lowering cost/hr while increasing your ROI.
