Best Skid Steer Tires for Winter

With the dry summer work season coming to end, many skid steer owners are now looking to winter’s mud and snow conditions. Most of us focus our attention on the amount of air in the tires during summer, but with wetter conditions coming on we start to look at the tread of our tires. Many equipment owners will put on a set of Over The Tire Tracks to get through the nasty mud. Doing snow removal with tracks is not always practical and when using tires, you need good tread. Prowler Trac Chief XT series tires is the best gripping tire for snow removal. The unique design of this tire provides better traction over standard tires. The individual opposing tread lugs have multiple angles providing more traction. Another feature that makes this tire stand out against others, especially for snow removal and mud conditions, is the unique Double sided step tread. Most “quality tires” already offer a stepped tread on the backside of the lugs. But The Trac Chief XT has both the leading and trailing edges of the lugs have multiple tiered areas to providing exceptional traction. For deep traction, the XT (Xtra Traction) version for the already excellent Trac Chief tire also has an added pattern to the side of each lug to help with traction and increase the durability. Like all of Prowler’s skid steer tires, the Trac Chief XT has full bead guard protection for your rims. If you’re current skid steer tires are “decent” but maybe not good enough for the wet season. Don't feel obligated to run your existing tires bald. With our Wheel and Tire combo program, you can get yourself new tires mounted on OEM equivalent rims matching both the paint color and the proper wheel offset for your specific make and model of loader. When choosing this option you're not only not having to pay for the installation, you do not have to take your machine down or spend any time running to a tire center to get your new tire installed. Then, when wet season is over, take the new wheel tire assemblies off and run your old tires again during dry season. This will allow your machine to achieve that mud or snow traction you need without wearing out your new tires during the dry season. We ship skid steer wheels and tires all over the United States.
