There's getting good mileage from tyres then there is this!! Here's a pick of a Volvo L150 I received in work,its from another recycling yard,there's a bit more life in those tyres   extremely handy for checking fluid levels and access, egress
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

these tires are commonly referred to as "racing slicks" in the demo industry

Greg Try solids on a Bobcat, inside a building, with water used for dust control..."bobcat Pinball" (bouncing off walls) I know what its like on a Skid-steer... Worked on a dairy farm, and a skid-steer was my main machine... Old, wet, sludgy TMR (or feed) is a bundle of fun for steering.... Cleaning the barn is also a great activity... LOL.... I hear ya on the "bobcat Pinball" .... Seen many doors and gates took out with em'... LOL Something I have always been curious of, and excuse me if this sounds like a "stupid question", but what is the purpose of the smooth tire? I know the reason behind the solids, but why smooth with no tread? Thanks! Greg

In harsh environments, Tread on tires catch on jagged debis and rip off, which leaves that wound open to catch more debris, and rip the tire further and so on. the less there is to catch in the first place, the longer the tire can be expected to last.

The Loaders we used to run with solids could expect to see about 6 months to a year, in the harshest environments, shown no mercy. With the bobcats, a set of tires will sometimes last longer than the bobcat itself. all depends on the operator.
