Titan HD 2000 II for Skid Steers
The Titan HD 2000 II, the premier bias design lineup for skid steer tires from Titan International, offers deep lugs, a heavy sidewall and a large rim guard for excellent durability. The lower profile and increased wheel size of the Low Sidewall Technology (LSW) design improves stability and reduces recoil and bouncing associated with the larger sidewall of standard tires. This provides more stability for construction equipment. The result is a smoother ride, less material spilling and improved handling — to name a few. There are two LSW sizes: 10-19.5 and 12-19.5. The full line is also available in standard sizes ranging from 10-16.5 up to 14-17.5. For more info, visit titan-intl.com.
