Pneumatic Skid Steer Tires Vs. A Solid Tire for Demolition

Pneumatic Skid Steer Tires

Pneumatic tires, simply put, go flat. Demolition job sites can be extremely harsh on tires causing punctures, flats, and fast wear life. Constantly having to repair and replace tires are costly and causes expensive downtime. The great thing about pneumatic tires is that they compress and flex which is vital for traction.

The biggest issue with pneumatic skid steer tires is that they have a bounce. The compressed air allows the tire to bounce up and down which causes driver fatigue and can be dangerous when carrying loads.

The EWRS-AT and EWRS-HS Solid Skid Steer Tires

The EWRS solid skid steer tires are made to be both puncture-proof and flat-free while also providing the flexibility that a foam-filled tire lack. This flexibility comes from the core geometry design. There are many solid tires in the skid steer industry that have circular apertures however Evolution Wheels tires are designed to mimic the compression that a pneumatic provides. Having this flexibility greatly reduces driver fatigue and overall traction. Pairing the flexibility, the core geometry, and the size of the lugs provide unmatched traction and comfortability.

The added benefit of the EWRS-HS series solid skid steer tires don’t ‘skid’ or bounce as pneumatic tires do. A pneumatic tire will bounce when pivoting on the spot which can be dangerous while carrying a load. These tires don’t have that issue as it uses core geometry for flexibility instead of compressed air. They will smoothly pivot in place allowing you to push your machine harder and work more efficiently which is important when working in harsh conditions like on demolition sites.
