Non Marking Solid Skid Steer Tires 12x16 5
Is your skid steer ready for and upgrade? Evolution wheel offers a full line of non marking solid skid steer tires 12x16 5 to meet your needs.
EWRS-AT & EWRS-HS NON MARKING SERIES
The EWRS-AT-NM and EWRS-HS-NM series of non marking solid skid steer tires 12x16 5 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 solid skid steer tires 12x16 5 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 solid skid steer tires 12x16 5 master hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and general hard even surfaces.
With serviceable non marking solid skid steer tires 12x16 5 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 non marking solid skid steer tires 12x16 5, 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 non marking solid 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.

Non Marking Solid Skid Steer Tires
Having the right tool for the job is half the battle. In certain applications and work sites, leaving behind solid skid steer tire marks on the concrete or floor surface can lead to problems. This is why having the option of using non marking solid skid steer tires on your equipment is very important. When it comes to skid steer tires, there’s a variety of options for you to choose from. For starters, you can choose from tracks or tires depending on what type of terrain the skid steer will be used in. If you choose tires, you then can choose between standard skid steer tires or non marking skid steer tires. Your decision between the two will largely depend on the applications your solid skid steer tires will be used in. Everyone is familiar with traditional, black marking solid skid steer tires. But non marking skid steer tires are not as well understood even though they serve a very important purpose in specific applications. Let's take a closer look at the purpose, make up, and characteristics of non marking skid steer tires.
The Purpose of Non Marking Solid Skid Steer Tires
As their name suggests, the purpose of non marking skid steer tires is to ensure the tires don’t leave marks on the concrete or floor surfaces on which your solid skid steer tires are working on. In most cases, non marking skid steer tires are used in controlled environments as opposed to being exposed to rugged terrain and hard environmental elements. Non marking skid steer tires are useful in applications such as the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries which, per hygiene regulations, don’t allow black marks on the floor. Another advantage is cost and time savings as when non marking solid skid steer tires are working on light colored floors, they eliminate the amount of time and money spent on remove unsightly black marks off of the floor.
What are Non Marking Skid Steer Tires Made Of?
Traditional solid skid steer tires and non marking skid steer tires differ in their physical make-up. Traditional solid skid steer tires are made of black carbon which non only gives them their black color, but helps to reduce heat caused by friction and increases wear life. Non marking skid steer tires are comprised of a mixture of synthetic rubber and silica. The silica replaces the black carbon found in traditional tires that is responsible for making the black marks. Because of the composition of the tire, non marking skid steer tires are commonly lighter in color ranging from white to a light gray. Despite this standard, non marking skid steer tires can be made in any color that the rubber compounder or tire manufacturing company chooses.
Performance Characteristics of Non Marking Solid Skid Steer Tires
The key characteristics of non marking skid steer tires include:
- Excellent traction
- Low rolling resistance
- Low heat build-up
- Non marking
- Same performance as traditional tires
- Have a slightly shorter life-span than traditional tires
- Require the use of grounding straps due to their lack of anti-static properties
Differences Between Standard Marking and Non Marking Skid Steer Tires?
Now let's take a look at the main differences between standard marking solid skid steer tires and non marking solid skid steer tires. The most apparent difference between the two is that non marking solid skid steer tires don’t leave marks on concrete or other floor surfaces whereas standard skid steer tires will leave marks. There are also other notable differences between the two. First, when it comes to price, non marking skid steer tires tend to be more expensive than traditional tires. This is largely due to the fact that the carbon black in the standard tire compound is cheaper compared to the non marking ingredients used.
Another difference is that traditional solid skid steer tires have UV protection properties built into their tires that non marking skid steer tires do not. UV protection is important for tires that spend countless hours in the sun as overtime, UV rays will degrade the solid skid steer tire. Non marking skid steer tires don’t have UV protection built into the tire but this isn’t a concern as non marking skid steer tires are typically used for indoor applications. Despite this, in order compensate for the lack of UV properties of non marking skid steer tires, antioxidants are included in their compound in order to support tires that may at times be exposed to UV rays.
Finally, carbon compounds in standard solid skid steer tires gives them anti-static properties which is important for workplace safety. Because non marking skid steer tires are non made of carbon, they don’t have anti-static properties which is concerning. Luckily this is easily fixed by using grounding strips.
