There is an abundance of tread patterns available to operators looking to equip their skid steers and loaders with application-specific tires. Whether it’s a super-deep tread like our [Muddy Buddy](https://atgtire.com/product-detail/?product=12) or a technical tread such as our [550 MultiUse](https://yokohama-oht.com/usa/product-detail/550-multiuse/?product=245), the tread pattern of the tire you choose will have an enormous impact on your machine’s performance.
