Why Use Aircraft Tires Vs. Truck or Car Tires?
Truck tires, and especially car tires, typically have lower ply ratings. Most range from 6 to 12 plies in the tread, with even fewer in the sidewalls. In contrast, aircraft tires are built with double, triple, or even quadruple the ply rating from bead to bead, delivering far greater strength and durability.
Car and truck tires are largely made from synthetic rubber compounds, which tend to weather quickly and can weaken structurally under high pressure.
Aircraft tires, on the other hand, are among the most robustly engineered tires available. Designed to withstand pressures up to 100 times greater than those handled by standard vehicle tires, they are constructed primarily from natural rubber, making them far more resistant to weathering. This results in a longer lifespan and extended protection for your equipment.
On average, aircraft tires last up to ten times longer than car or truck tires—significantly increasing the duration of protection.
In addition to their performance benefits, aircraft tires offer a clean, uniform appearance, unlike the varied tread patterns found on car and truck tires, giving your equipment a more polished look.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Ground use aircraft tires are for non-highway use only. Do not exceed 25 MPH / 40 KPH. Do not inflate more than 45 PSI. These tires are heavily plied; they are not designed for high speeds for any duration. Please note that all serial numbers and TSO certifications have been removed. Any and all warranties and liabilities by the original manufacturers/retreaders, Goodyear and others, are completely null and void.
