A customer of our recommended the SKZ tires to us a few years ago and we couldn't be happier. We were killing a set of "stock" tires every year-to the point of cords showing. These tires have been the best investment to date. Our nursery uses these tractors in different ways so you can be the judge on if they may work for you. The LS-180 is our mulch/soil loader it spends it's entire life on a smooth concrete pad 5 days a week. There are over 1,000 hrs on these tires with 60% tread remaining and no flats. The GHEL 7800 is our heavy lift machine for occasional deliveries. This machine is 90% off road--dirt, compacted crushed shell and 10% asphalt (i.e. deliveries). In the 700 hrs since installed 98% of the tread remains with only slight rounding of the cleats and no flats (several nails and screws just bent over). The third machine the LS-175 is our delivery machine with 75% of it's life spent on concrete / asphalt and 25% at the nursery on crushed shell. This machine has 1800 hrs on the tires and the tires still have 60% of the tread remaining with no flats. I know these have worked for us, hopefully I can help someone out there that was in the same bind as us. Good luck.
