tires

i need some tires for my bobcat. i will be on pavement alot of the time, but not all of the time. i was thinking the center tire here http://www.solideal.com/products.asp?gid=2.2.8&dpid=2.2 but i am concerned about the loss of traction when on unpaved surfaces. i also want it to be decent for snow removal, the hill at my garage is like deathly, so it has to be good.

I didn't get the link to work, but are you looking at a severe duty block pattern? Those are good long wearing tires, but not as good as the bobcat brand, that said depending on the price quoted to you the bobcats are about twice as much. My personal experice with them and feed back from customers are they are good in mud. They are however about the worst thing in snow, a track machine has better tractions. A few falls a go we sold five or six sets, first snow everone came in for tire chains. My over experince in solideal tires has been good. Standard style tread does wear kinda fast on pavement. We have sold a ton of 10x 16.5 8 plys at 100.00 a tires and have no complaints.

I'm just going to throw this out there, if you like the severe duty style tire, check with a bobcat dealer, our lower line of tire is called earthforce. We sell the earthforce severe duty for right around $200 at tire. I can't speak for other dealers, but we try very hard to be the best skidsteer tire price in town, just got a semi load of tires yesterday.

If you are satisfied with every aspect of the tires except traction on snow, you could consider siping or grooving the tires. The kits to put the grooves in are not very expensive, and there are some posts elsewhere which claim great results. I was thinking about doing this on my little Case tires.

thats something to consider. do the severe duty wear better on hard surfaces? how about on finished surfaces like grass and stuff?
