[QUOTE="A.G., post: 9909, member: 71"] I have no idea if they can reuse those wheels. Probably not, as the tires are made overseas, and probably welded over there. They have not slipped around the rim. My brand spanking new Bobcat wheels/tires were set aside in case I really need to get light at a job. Hasn't happened yet. My old foam filled ones had been recapped too many times, and looking at new wheels, tires, foam, put the McLarens at a great price point. I have been able to cut some of the edges of the cheveron lugs, but they ride fine, just like the video. The tire really rides on the center of the tread, so if you cut a lug off the side, you can't feel it. They came out with a more durable tread pattern for demo nuts like myself, or junkyard dog loaders. Often I will use the tires to destroy something. Like a wood wall, with several layers of wood sheathing. I can jump on it and spin, loosening the materials, blowing off the wood, and grinding it into splinters. People get a kick out of it. Most often I will use them to hold down my workpiece while I pick at it with my grapple. By sitting on it, the loader becomes my vise, and I can really rip it apart, or take it apart very precisely. My tires are an extension of my will, and I use the whole machine, not just the attachment. If you have a piece dangling from a scrap grapple, that is going to be a hazard, just run over it and pull it out of the bucket while not losing the entire load. I like em. A.G. [/QUOTE]
