When is it Time for New Bobcat Tires?

There are a variety of signs that your Bobcat needs new tires. However, there is not a one-size-fits-all rule of thumb on when to switch out your tires. That is because tire damage is extremely dependent on how you use your Bobcat. If you are frequently making sharp turns or working in harsh conditions (including snowplowing), you will likely see issues with your tires faster. You can always use a quick visual inspection to check your tires. If there are missing chunks, cracks, or damaged treads are all signs you need new tires.

Other Signs That Your Bobcat Needs New Tires:

There are a few other key signs that your Bobcat Skid Steer Loader needs new tires. If you need new tires, don’t overpay, get your tires from Ciano Development Corporation as well as repair services and other attachments.

• Tread: Pay attention to your tread depth. When a tire has lost 80% or more of its original tread, you are likely going to increase the risk of flats and decrease your skid steer loader’s efficiency. Plus, paying attention to your tread can prevent you from needing an emergency tire change. We recommend that Bobcat owners always have a full set of spare tires that way they can avoid downtime.
• Materials: What you drive over will affect your tires. Driving over rocky or debris-covered surfaces can quickly tear up your tires. If you are consistently driving on uneven or jagged surfaces you should inspect your tires frequently for damage.
• Uneven Wear: If you notice that some of your tires are wearing faster (i.e the back tires are going first or the front tires are going first) you can solve this by rotating the tires. But do not rotate the tires if one of them is already significantly worn down. Uneven tires can cause damage to your skid steer loader as well as the remaining tires.
