Maxam adds mold-on skid steer tire

LAS VEGAS—Industrial and OTR tire marketer Maxam Tire North America Inc. has expanded its MS705 solid skid-steer product line.

The latest addition to the tire line is a single piece mold-on configuration, the MS705 XD, which the company said features the same extra-wide footprint and tread depth of its solid press-on tire but is manufactured with Maxam's cut-resistant natural rubber compound bonded to carbon steel wheels.

Maxam is exhibiting the tire at Booth #5303 at the 2016 Waste Expo, which is running June 7-9 in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“The MS705 XD provides all the benefits of a solid skid-steer tire, with the convenience of a bolt on assembly that requires no specialized equipment for mounting,” said Tim Good, Maxam's OTR sales manager. “The MS705 XD has been designed to fit most standard skid-steer makes and models.”

The company said it plans to offer both a standard non-aperture design of the MS705 XD as well as a design with aperture for improved driver comfort.

Maxam also is exhibiting at Waste Expo its recently introduced MS708 Solid OTR tire in aperture and non-aperture designs along with the MS405 E4/L4 radial OTR tire for loader and articulated dump truck applications. The MS708 and MS405 are currently available to order from Maxam's Long Beach, Calif., and Memphis, Tenn., distribution centers — with the new MS705 XD available in July.

Danvers, Mass.-based Maxam is a subsidiary of Maxam Tire International Ltd. of Birmingham, England, a supplier of industrial and OTR tires engineered in Europe and produced in Asia.
