Watty superelastic tires

Hello everyone!

I am in talks with the company WATTS to buy some superelastic tires from them but I am not sure about the quality of tires compared to GUMASOL, SOLIDEAL or MARANGONI. I know they have three or more types of tires. What is the price/quality ration compared to other producers of tires mentioned above ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I think that shipping from England to Near Italy would be to expensive, don't you think ?

Well one of our customer had CONTINENTAL originally on LINDE forklift but didn't like it. It was a very bad tyre and he changed it to GUMASOL. It worked twice as long as CONTINENTAL. And I have heard from others the same. This was anyway a few years ago, don't know the quality today.

In my experience Watts are at least equal to these brands, if you need a real premium solis tyre for heaviest applications, try Continental.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
