Very much appreciated. We worked for a long time to get this tire right, it was a big project and a team effort!

Not from what we have seen

We actually haven't had one customer complain about that. 😮

​@EvolutionWheel and how old is your product? How many job sites has it seen? Across how many vehicles? I'm a mechanic, trust me, it's going to be an issue. Not to mention those studs are going to start to wiggle over time as the holes expand from the wear and tear.

@@StrangeTerror 6 years and we stopped counting. We don't need to trust ... we know its not an issue. If it was we wouldn't have so much repeat business.

No they don't ... but we love your enthusiasm!

Here is a video we did talking about exactly that. th-cam.com/video/fqeiEJcSfl8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UlSliQ9P7OVPN9AQ

, ​ This talked about linear compression. Not about the shock absorption composted to an air filled tire. I understand there are pros and cons to having that flex in an air filter tire but a side by side comparison would be great. It's not just about the ride for the operator but also about the balancing of the load on the forks

​@smokinlmm I can appreciate your point, maybe we can look into doing that video. The challenge is very few telehandlers are running air filled tires or allowed to run them anymore. Almost all are foam filled or solid for safety reasons

We offer wear parts with matching tread depths if that happens and is needed

@@EvolutionWheel that's fucking sick!

I believe $150 a section. They also sell them with different wear patterns.

@@ivanvarela3215 is right for a 14x24 sized segment as well as the wearable parts option. @skijet12

@@EvolutionWheel I have a dumb question, has anyone tried using plywood to get by with one of your wheels? I understand the wood would quickly disintegrate, but could that be a way to quickly get the machine unstuck from mud?

@@ivanvarela3215 I am not following on how the plywood would be used? To my knowledge no though.

@@EvolutionWheel did I say plywood? My mistake, I mean something like 2x4 or 4x4 wood

Never said they would haha. Just that they could!

Expensive compared to what? We are typically the same or less than other solid tire options and foam filled pneumatics. One segment is $150, seems pretty cheap compared to replacing a whole tire for $2000-$3000 🤷

@@EvolutionWheelI’m not talking about your solid tire specifically. In general they are a great idea but horribly overpriced over pneumatic tires. It looks to be $2550 to replace all the segments on one telehandler wheel. I have had great luck with new pneumatic tires with a good dose of tire sealant inside. A smoother ride for a third of the price, maybe a quarter of the price. If I wanted to spend a fortune to guarantee no flats, I would buy tracked machines

Are we talking about telehandler tires specifically as shown in the video or solid tires in general? A full set of new rubber for one of our 14x24 telehandler tires would be $1500 roughly ... a pneumatic is about $1,000 + service call and foam filling. Running an air filled tire on a telehandler is a safety issue if they go flat and a stability issue because the tire and rim doesn't weight enough. I have also only ever seen 1 tracked telehandler machine ever and it was custom made. If we are talking about other tires and tire sizes then any pricing we are talking about is wrong, smaller tires are less money. Hope this helps.

@@EvolutionWheel I was going off the wheel shown in your video, it looked to have 17 segments at $150 a piece = $2550.

@@garrettwhite737 Yes, if bought 1 at a time. But we sell packages to do full tires and full sets of tires for less.

Compared to what?

It would seem so!

Jokes on you , that little block is 3x the price of a tire and after driving on a site you can never just change 1 because they never line up

@mr.orange5724 You sound like someone who gets it

​sounds like you haven't bought tires from us

@@EvolutionWheel my concern is when they wear and you replace with a new one it won’t match the rest and won’t fit or will wear drive all weird

@@Kraken4201it will. You could shape it to match the old ones but do you really want to start cutting down a $150 segment?

Need to find a better operator 😂

my thoughts

Also probably cost alot more. And everything is the lowest bidding.

Have you ever changed a foam filled telehandler tire? Should be no more than 30 min to swap all the rubber on the tire if someone can use an impact

​@@wight626replacement rubber is 40% less than the cost of full replacement ... might be cheaper than a pneumatic come to think of it 🤔

@@EvolutionWheelif a replacement segment is $150 with 17 segments on a tire, that’s $2550. How much is a whole new wheel? What am I missing?

Damaged tires are prone to blowing out, which is dangerous.

@@BeepBeepParkiethose in the video were airless

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, we try our best

A pneumatic 12x16.5 is about 135 pounds, our 12x16.5 is 230 pounds. This gives you the added benefit of lowering the center of gravity on your machine and adding about 200 pounds of lift capacity while still being within a weight range that the drive motors of the machine are designed to handle

Sounds like a great place to work! We may not buy rail cars of carbon black but we damn sure work at making the best rubber 😎

Appreciate it!

We strive to offer customers the lowest cost per hour operating tire on the market

Glad it was helpful!

None ... we don't buy anything from China!

@@EvolutionWheel ...what?

​@@fernank017 Carbon black materials that come from China are known to have carcinogens in them. Our chemist refuses to use them and that makes us happy

We might not have the newest equipment, but we definitely work to make the best rubber.

No ... Rocky is a class act!

That's great

Yes, the offset. You don't want to have a hub plate welded that is not properly square that leads to a wobble in the tire as it is driving.

Rocky shows up every day with a smile on his face ... solid guy!

Your not wrong ... we will deal with him

@@EvolutionWheel nooo! Don't want to get him in trouble... it was demo purposes only 😉

@@Pathfinderxr It's all good, I was joking. The guy covering his eyes with his hand runs the company ... he won't listen, but I'll have a word either way! 🤣

No, they will not. The first set of tires a customer purchases from us comes with the rim, after that you can purchase "Retread Kits" which are new rubber and hardware.

It is possible depending on the tire option and machine they are on. With skid steers specifically the tire gets pretty tight to the frame on some machines.

The tread face is designed to clear mud and material for improved clean out. We also integrated sipes into the surface of the treads to improve traction in wet and icy conditions similar to a snow tire

Check them out in the snow ... th-cam.com/video/ueP-vnpVPsw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aFBC-PQA3rCfa079

This situation is actually quite uncommon given how the tire is manufactured and the quality of our rubber compounds. Having said that if a customer has a half worn tire we offer wear parts with matching tread depth segments. After we sell a full set of tires to a customer we typically hear from them next when it is time for a full replacement set of rubber where they reuse the rims.

So I was 100% right I hate people on the internet they talk bad about innovative products just to sound smart not knowing how you are hurting the company that did absolutely nothing to you thanks guys keep up the good work
