An extra protected tread skid steer is necessary for the demanding use of boom lifts, skid steer loaders and backhoe forklifts. The innovative three-step lug design provides for higher lug stability and strength with the added surface for increased heat dissipation, while the unique hook-tread pattern increases traction. The heat dissipating notches maximize surface exposure so that heat generated is dispelled swiftly. This enhances the run time and durability of the tire. The self-cleaning terrace keeps the tire clean and the machine more energy efficient.
