When to replace solid OTR tires

While solid OTR tires require zero maintenance and are built to last much longer than foam filled pneumatics, they still have a certain life span. Although these tires don’t require the maintenance pneumatic off-the-road tires require, MAXAM recommends operations inspect their solid OTR tires every now and then.

Below are some indicators that your solid OTR tire need to be replaced:

  • Rubber pieces are peeling off on their own
  • Layers of rubber with nylon cords that are no longer wearable rubber
  • Tire has no remaining tread

There are ways to help prolong the life of your solid OTR wheel loader tires:

  • Inspect all four tires and ensure the front and rear tires are no more than two inches of difference in overall diameter, if so, consider rotating the tires
  • Remove any objects and debris stuck inside the tires and the treads

MAXAM’s traction solid OTR MS708 is designed from the inside out for the tire to increase its footprint as it wears, transitioning through four unique tread patterns, ending in standard L5. We have created this design to maximize footprint and tire life in your traction solid OTR wheel loader tires.

If you’re unsure whether or not your solid OTR tire needs to be replaced, contact your local MAXAM rep and we’ll assist you with your inquiries.
