Tires Made for Skid Steer Asphalt Cutters
The EWRS-HS solid hard surface skid steer tire is designed for all paving applications, especially when using an asphalt cutter attachment.
Core Geometry vs. Compressed Air for Tire Compression
Flexibility in a skid steer tire is important for both traction and comfortability. A pneumatic skid steer tire has great flexibility however they also have a bounce to them. This bounce can affect the overall quality of the work being done when using an asphalt cutter attachment by creating an uneven cut. The EWRS-HS skid steer tire is a solid option that is designed to flex like a pneumatic tire but without the bounce. This is done through the use of our unique core geometry. Because the EWRS-HS series skid steer tire is a solid tire, we were able to design it with apertures we unique geometry which is engineered to flex like a pneumatic to maximize comfortability and traction.
The EWRS-HS hard surface tire is specifically designed to work on surfaces like asphalt and concrete. These tires are built as a perfect rolling circle, increased surface area for longevity, with unique core geometry that allows the tire to compress like a pneumatic increasing traction. The EWRS-HS tire does not use compressed air and instead uses open cores that compress as the tire rolls, there is no bounce that pneumatic tires have.
The EWRS-HS is also designed specifically for hard surface applications like asphalt and concrete. With increased tread depth, ground contact area, and a flat profile, this tire has an amazing ride. It skids smoothly without jerking and lasts 3-5 times longer than a traditional pneumatic tire while never going flat.
A PERFECT ROLLING CIRCLE
The EWRS-HS is also a perfect rolling circle. This creates an extremely smooth ride for the operator limiting driver fatigue. The core geometry also allows the tire to compress similar to a pneumatic while the void space in the tread together provides superior traction.
We designed the unique tread pattern this way with asphalt milling in mind. Using the wrong tires in these types of applications can leave waves on the asphalt as the tire is cutting. The EWRS-HS is specifically designed to not leave waves when operating an asphalt cutter attachment on your skid steer.
