Solid Bobcat Tires
Is your bobcat ready for and upgrade? Evolution wheel offers a full line of solid bobcat tires to meet your needs.
EWRS-AT SERIES
The EWRS-AT series of solid bobcat tires were designed to meet the needs of today's job site demands. We came up with a way to offer you serviceability, traction and a comfortable ride all in one!
With serviceable solid bobcat tires sections, the need for a service truck and specialized technicians is all but eliminated. We have reduced your service tooling down to only a 3/4" wrench in your operator's back pocket and repair parts are readily available in your nearest onsite storage container or in the toolbox of your pickup.
We spared no expense in creating this product and weren't afraid to bring you the largest tread lugs in the industry for serious traction and a long wear life. By reducing the number of lugs on a skid steer tire, we were able to increase the width and height of each lug so we could get rid of the wear bars running through the centre of any other skid steer tire you're going to see on the market. This gave us two things: large voids in our tread pattern allowing for unmatched material clean out, and a long wear life on our bigger lug.
To make this product the total package, we topped it off by engineering a smooth ride into our design. We worked hard to bring you a proprietary rubber compound that would allow enough compression to reduce operator fatigue and stand up to heavy loads. Did we mention that the compound is also designed so that it won't stress crack? Only a premium compound would do for a premium product, that's the Evolution Wheel standard.

Solid Bobcat Tires: The Superior Choice for Scrap Yard Applications
When using a bobcat loader, you probably put a lot of consideration and thought into what type of tires you’re going to put on your machine. And in rugged and abrasive terrain such as in scrap yards, your options are limited if you’re looking to reduce downtime, increase productivity, and save money. This is why choosing the best bobcat tires has to be a priority!
Your main 2 options for bobcat tires are pneumatic/air filled bobcat tires, or solid bobcat tires. Pneumatic bobcat tires aren’t ideal in all scenarios. Particularly if you’re driving around on hard concrete, working in an area that’s filled with debris, or in general abrasive conditions that can lead to frequent flats and high wear. This all leads to increasing your costs because of fixing or replacing flat tires, labour hours involved, machine downtime, and low wear life. The good news is that there are bobcat tires designed to work in severe conditions such as scrap yards that you expose your machine to day in and day out: solid bobcat tires.
Solid Bobcat Tires: What to Consider
Every scrap yard is different and therefore you have to choose the right tire for the type of terrain you’re working in. A significant advantage of solid bobcat tires is that they’re heavier than standard pneumatic bobcat tires. The added tire weight leads to an increase in your machines lifting capacity and overall performance. In scrap yard applications, this will often come in handy when moving around larger objects or lifting larger loads. This will also allow you to make the most use out of your bobcat tires throughout the scrap yard in various places. You’ll likely find that you’re able to increase productivity and streamline your operations simply by changing your bobcat tires to solid bobcat tires.
There are 2 different tread patterns or types of solid bobcat tires: (1) hard surface solid bobcat tires; (2) all terrain solid bobcat tires. Note that both offer the flat proof solution to pneumatic air filled bobcat tires.
1. Hard Surface Solid Bobcat Tires
Hard surface solid bobcat tires are ideal when you are mainly working on concrete, or hard flat surfaces. Hard surface solid bobcat tires have more rubber surface than all terrain solid bobcat tires which means they have significantly more wear life to them. And because you’re not mainly working in mud, rocks, soft sand or rough terrain, traction is not a main priority. This is why hard surface solid bobcat tires have more surface and less tread or lugs thus increasing wear life leading to HUGE cost savings.
The EWRS-HS hard surface solid bobcat tires from Evolution Wheel provides unmatched wear life on concrete and asphalt surfaces. You can expect the tires to last more than three times longer than standard pneumatic bobcat tires, which will deliver a better return on your investment.
The EWRS-HS hard surface solid bobcat tires tread depth is impressive. A 52/32 tread depth raises the bar when it comes to hard surface applications. This is the most tread depth found out of any hard surface bobcat tire on the market. It makes it easier for your loader to do what it needs to do throughout the scrap yard without wondering if there is something on the ground that will puncture a tire.
2. All Terrain Solid Bobcat Tires
All terrain solid bobcat tires are designed to work in mud, rocks, sand or any general rough or varying terrain. They have larger and thicker lugs which are intended to work efficiently in uneven terrain. All terrain solid bobcat tires also have deep treads which allow you to get into difficult and questionable conditions that you may not consider attempting with standard pneumatic tires.
The EWRS-AT all terrain solid bobcat tires from Evolution Wheel provide superior traction and unmatched wear life in all types of applications such as rock, mud, sand, and general terrain. You can count on the EWRS-AT all terrain solid bobcat tires to last up to three times longer than standard solid bobcat tires and pneumatic bobcat tires. Eliminating flats and downtime mean huge cost savings.
Conclusion
When looking at replacing your bobcat tires it’s likely that solid bobcat tires will be the best choice to save you time and money. Both of which are KEY for any company. Solid bobcat tires, whether hard surface or all terrain tread pattern, will ensure that you have a heavy-duty tire that you won't burn through or replace prematurely. This is going to save you a considerable amount of time and money. You can also considerably reduce downtime because you’re not fixing or replacing flat tires.
Buying bobcat tires shouldn't be a costly enterprise. You shouldn't have to sideline your bobcat because you are waiting to repair or replace a flat tire. If you find yourself spending too much time and money changing and replacing out the tires, there is a better solution. Getting rid of pneumatic bobcat tires and switching to solid bobcat tires will be the best decisions that you make to solve flat tires and decrease your costs.
