Polyurethane Tires are solid tires with the polyurethane vulcanized directly on to the wheel rim. Polyurethane is an artificial rubber but with a much higher compression factor. The carrying capacity of a polyurethane tire compared with an equal diameter rubber tire is about twice as high. Polyurethane Tires are non marking tires. The high compression factor allows the use of smaller diameter tires in certain narrow-aisle trucks.  .

Disadvantages:

• less shock absorption because of smaller wheel diameters.
• less driving comfort.
