Between tough weather, spinning wheels, poor conditions, and harsh turns, skid steer loaders are very tough on tires. We understand that replacing old worn-in tires is time-consuming and costly, however, being proactive with tire replacement can save you both time and money in the long run.
Here are our tips for deciding if it’s time to replace the tires on your Bobcat skid steer loader:
Uneven Wear:
It is very common if one set of your Bobcat skid steers loaders tires sets to wear down quicker than the other. If you notice this try rotating the worn-down tires, if the tires are too worn to rotate you will be operating the machine with mismatched tires. This will wear the tires down even more and will begin to put wear and tear on the machine itself.
Tread Depth
This is the quickest and easiest way to identify if you need new tires. By monitoring the tread depth of your tires you will be able to regularly monitor them. Once the tire has worn through 80-85% of the original trend, replace the tire.
Inspection:
Inspecting your tires by looking at them is a great way to determine the status of your tires. Signs that your tires need to be replaced will be missing chunks, damaged tread, or cracking in the tire. It is also important to look for any cuts or puncture marks, both signs that your tires need to be replaced.
