    New water tire from Interco-made for skid steer machines

    AquaTorque | Interco Tire

    Water tire? Made for skid steer machines? Will they swim? My tire experimentation days are over, I'll let some one else try these, but man do they look aggressive.

    You and probably a lot of other people on this forum who have tried mud tires that were designed for atv,s that did,nt swim very well. If you go to this website I posted and then click on the picture of this tire to enlarge it, you,ll notice small cup like shapes to scoop the water as the tire turns in the intended direction.

    Thats a pretty big tire though. I hope they make a smaller version. Most machines probably wont be able to use it. And 6 ply sounds pretty rough too. Buts its a good start in the right direction!

    WOW! Those new Interco skins look wicked!!! All I need now is some pricing info and I'll be set! Wohoo!!! They are listed as being made for a 9" rim! (as shown in the photo). Finally someone out there recognized the need for a quality amphib tire to fill the gap left by Goodyear's departure from the skidsteer club. I guess I need to contact Matt O. and order a set of 9" beadlock rims from him and get these badboys mated up for my Max IV!!!!!! Even thhough they're 6-ply I think they'd ride OK if I keep them aired down to around .05-1.5lb per tire. Best start planning to work some overtime to pay for these...

Would be even better if they were based off an 8" or 9" rim instead of a 12" - think of the sidewall flex! I wonder how harsh the ride will be on 12" rims, seeing as how they are 6-ply??? Hey, I shouldn't be complaining. At least someone out there recognized the need for a quality amphib tire to fill the gap left by Goodyear's departure from the skidsteer club.
    Harry, they are made for a 9" rim 25x12x9: 25 inches tall, 12 inches wide, 9 inch rim.
    If you buy a set please let EVERYONE know how they perform.

    They are for a 9" wheel.

    edit: Dan beat me to it while I was drooling over the tire.

    I think you misread it, they are 25-12-9...for 9" rims.

    edit: Lol Mike, I did the same thing.....

    Any chance that these would fit under my 950's tub??? Maybe with 1-2" spacers? If I can get my hands on some reasonably priced 9" rims(and these will fit under my tub....) I'll try a set and see how they do.
