Getting the Most From Your Skid Steer Tires

With the skid steer’s continued growth in prominence on today's construction sites, We have been hard at work crafting our skid steer tires to meet the demands of today’s machines. New applications and uses for the skid steer are being discovered on a seemingly daily basis. Galaxy purpose-builds tires to stand up to the rigors of the challenging terrain and rugged tasks they are asked to perform.

Galaxy Muddy Buddies Meet the Moment 

We can tell you all day long about our commitment to delivering quality, but it’s especially satisfying to us when one of our customers shares their great experiences with our products. Steve Jensen and his team at Farmers Cooperative in Firth, Nebraska, have been putting Galaxy Muddy Buddy tires through their paces and keeping track of the results on a whiteboard over the last five years.

The History of the Skid Steer

Maneuverable and versatile, the last couple of decades have seen skid steers become a fixture on most construction sites. With no sign of slowing down, manufacturers continue to develop new attachments and find new uses for skid steers on the job. Galaxy has been there since the beginning and continues to set the standard for skid steer tire performance by both updating our classic offerings and creating new tires and technologies to handle the growing list of tasks skid steers are expected to perform and conditions in which they are required to operate.  

As of Jan 1, 2021, Alliance Tire Group and Alliance Tire Americas, Inc. changed their names to Yokohama Off-Highway Tires and Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc respectively. The Alliance, Galaxy and Primex brands and product names remain unchanged. Product information is available at www.yokohama-oht.com.

The Alliance Tire Group (ATG) booth at the massive World of Concrete Show represents a solid lineup of tires purpose-built for the construction industry. ATG will be using its trade show display to highlight the wide range of tread designs and specs that provide equipment owners with the ideal tire for the challenging environment of paving, building and demolition.
