Oh really, I guess all things relative.
Thanks chaps,appreciated.
All in jest dont worry about that.
ps, we drive on the correct side you know
You will also need to install a static strap of some type on the truck running betwwen the truck and the ground if you install nonmarking tires or you'll be back with complaints of operators that keep getting shocked everytime they touch that truck, once you've had the experience you'll never forget it.
1. Don't have any specific data, but your tire supplier should be able to give you written documentation as to the durometer ratings of each tire type.
2. White non marking tire have ~15% lower durometer rating (hardness) than black tires due to the lack of carbon black found in black tires as you say.. Therefore they will wear out faster -~ 15% faster.
3. Being softer they are subject to more cuts which leads to increased chunking.
4. The benefit is in cleanliness of the floor (tire marks elimination) plus being softer they will have more traction, important if water is present. - on ramps outside yards, etc.
Hope this helps and also excuse the spelling of tire instead of tyre - give my apologize to the Queen. See we American butchered the Queens English once we cancelled the contracts with our former landlord. We speak Americanese. Just a friendly jest. Plus, we drive on the other side of the road.
