Launching a new brand of truck tires is a huge task, even for a company with a global reputation for the quality of its Galaxy, Alliance and Primex off-highway tire (OHT) brands. Truckers want to know that the new line of Galaxy truck tires have proven themselves on the road.

YOHTA Introduces the Galaxy Garden Pro XTD

The "XTD" designation in the Galaxy Garden Pro line's size expansion stands for "extra tread depth," getting right to the heart of one of the big benefits of the new compact tractor tire line extension from Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America (YOHTA).

How Yokohama Off-Highway Tires
is Bringing Radials to Backhoes 

Though it’s not yet a common sight to see backhoes and other construction equipment riding on radial tires in North America, in places like Europe they’re becoming increasingly popular thanks to the many benefits they provide, including:

• Longer tire life
• Better suited to travel long distances 
• Greater puncture resistance in the tread area 
• More traction 
• Increased equipment productivity 
• Superior ride and improved operator comfort

Choosing an Application-Specific Skid Steer Tread Pattern 

Today’s skid steers work in a wide range of conditions, encountering everything from rock, mud, and sand to gravel, asphalt, and concrete. One thing that remains the same no matter the surface is the need to minimize spinning, maximize traction, and increase longevity. There’s no better way to accomplish all of these outcomes than with application-specific skid steer tires. Whether you’re looking for traction, speed, or durability—or some other attribute—ATG has a skid steer tire for you.

Skid Steers, Snow Removal, and the Use of Radial Tires 

When the snow is stacking up outside as fast as the number of parking lots needing to get cleared, you have no time for skid steers slipping in wintery conditions. Slipping describes more than just the loss of traction your skid steer is experiencing on snow and ice—it also details the slipping away of fuel, time, and productivity. One way to improve the performance of skid steers used for snow removal this winter is by equipping them with radial tires.
