Non-Marking Skid Steer Tires vs Standard Skid Steer Tires
Evolution Wheel's Hard Surface and All-Terrain Non-Marking Solid Skid Steer Tires
There are more to non-marking skid steer tires apart from not leaving black marks on the ground. One of which is UV protection. In our standard marking tires, the rubber has a UV potation compound in it that helps resist rubber deterioration for high UV light. The non-marking version of these tires does not have this compound however it does have antioxidants added to compensate for the lack of UV protection.
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.

EWRS-AT & EWRS-HS NON MARKING SERIES
The EWRS-AT-NM & EWRS-HS-NM series of non marking bobcat 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!
The EWRS-AT-NM series of all terrain non marking bobcat tires are specifically designed for customers who need additional traction in mud, sand, and uneven terrain. The EWRS-HS-NM series of hard surface non marking bobcat tires master hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and general hard even surfaces.
With serviceable non marking bobcat 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 centre 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 clean out, 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.
