How to decide on the best Tyre for your forklift

Most often when a company or an individual confronts the need to change a forklift tyre, they never think twice: they check with their operator / mechanic / friend, on which source can they have a deal: price, performance & pay-later (PPP).

People don't see Forklift Tyres as on Insurance for their expensive forklift. A good forklifit tyre, besides working for long hours, saves you fuel/energy, acts as a jogging-shoe for your forklift and protects the equipment against Mechanical & Electronic faults.
