Titan improves puncture resistance on new steel-belted skid-steer tire
The Ultra Guard Steel tire features a heavy-duty steel-belt design, ideal for construction sites and tough terrain
Titan International Inc. has expanded its tire portfolio with the Ultra Guard Steel tire, its first steel-belted option for skid steers. The new product solidifies Titan's promise to become a full-service provider for all tire sizes and applications.
The Ultra Guard Steel line addresses a growing need in the marketplace for a high-performance, steel-belted option for tough environments like construction sites and areas with high-puncture hazards.
Tougher tread, superior traction
The Ultra Guard Steel tire is ideal for operators pushing the limits of their machines in high-intensity and demanding environments, while offering a more forgiving ride that helps improve machine performance and operator comfort.
Key benefits include:
- Heavy-duty steel-belt construction - More than 150 percent increase in puncture resistance compared to a traditional bias tire
- Ultra-durable design - Larger lug design enhances load distribution by boosting overall endurance
- Flexible sidewall - improves rideability through better shock absorption
- Increased tread-to-surface contact and deeper tread depth - allows for superior grip, traction, and strength in tough conditions
- Built-in robust rim guard - Provides added rim protection, preventing damage, and reducing repair costs
"We listened to our customers and studied competitor offerings to engineer a tire that raises the bar for durability and rider comfort," said Travis Little, general manager of Agriculture, Construction, and Industrial products for the Carlstar and Carlisle brands.
