Care and Maintenance of Flat-Proof Tires

While it is true that flat-proof tires are practically indestructible, some common sense care and maintenance techniques can extend the life of your tires. Here are a few tips for care and maintenance of your flat-proof tires:

1. Make sure you order the right kind of semi-pneumatic tire for your machine and for the surface on which the machine will work.

2. Make sure you examine the tires as soon as you get them to check for manufacturer defects, incorrect sizing, shipping damage, or any other anomalies. Be sure to contact your dealer, distributor, or manufacturer immediately to report any issues.

3. Make sure you put the tires on the machine and try the tires out as soon as you get them to test for any sizing, fitment, and/or compatibility issues and to "get a feel" for how the tires perform- it may take you a while to get used to the tires.

4. Know the weight capacity of your tires- try not to overload the machine.

5. When operating the machine, limit the amount of skidding (doughnuts) as much as possible and try to avoid zero degree/zero radius turns- especially on concrete, pavement, asphalt, gravel, etc.

6. Keep tires clean in-between uses- wash off mud, debris, etc. (especially in aperture holes) and then pat dry. If tires come into contact with oil or petroleum products, wipe off with a rag as soon as possible.

7. Rotate tires periodically to even-out wear on lug (tread).

8. If not on the machine, store tires in a cool dry place- do not let tires sit unused in direct sunlight or in wet and/or damp areas.

9. Use manufacturer approved industrial strength protectant (not Armor-All).

10. Do not deliberately try to damage and/or destroy the tires to test them- you may injure yourself, the machine, and/or others and you will violate your tire warranty. Do not take the tires for granted- just because the tires can take abuse does not mean that you should not take care of them properly.

By following these simple care and maintenance techniques, you will sustain the quality and extend the life of your tires.
