Expanded
Wheel Solids
Expanded
Wheel Solids
are built on custom wheels. These wheels
have a larger outside diameter than the O.E.M.
rims. The final product has the same OD
and Tread Width as a pneumatic tire.
Expanded Wheel Solids are less expensive because
they require less rubber than the Full Depth
Solids.
Key Benefits
- Lower
initial cost
- Lighter
(uses less fuel)
- Lower
rolling resistance
- You
can wear them down as far as want
Disadvantages (compared
to Full Depth Solids)
- Less
rubber between machine and ground
leads to rougher ride
- Greater
operator and equipment fatigue
- Lighter
tire is more likely to spin
- Tires
appear rough to operator

Full
Depth Solids
Full
Depth Solids
are built on rims similar in size to OEM.
They have the same OD, the same tread width and
the same amount of rubber between the machine
and the ground as pneumatic tires.
Key Benefits
- Smoother
ride (more rubber between machine and
ground)
- Less
operator and equipment fatigue
- More
Stable
- Better
traction (due to weight)
Disadvantages (compared
to Expanded Wheel Solids)
- Heavier
(uses more fuel)
- Higher
rolling resistance
- Higher
initial purchase price
