When we had a "tired" skid steer, we found out our best life was to put on tires from Bobcat. It was a Bobcat and when we went to another brand (supposed to be just as good), we did not get near the life out of them as the Bobcat tires. Used it pretty much the same as you are talking about. Yes, they cost more but in the long fun, did not give us as much trouble and were pretty well the same cost since we got longer life out of them.

Years ago when I was in the tire business Titan HD2000's were good, Any Firestone was also good. We bought semi loads of these and left them sit for up to 6 months. By doing this they hardened up and lasted longer.

When I worked at a bobcat dealer I put on many tires. The ones that wore the best was the Bobcat branded heavy duty tires. The next best was Bobcat standard duty and Firestone. We sold some galaxy tiers and they didn't seam to last. The Goodyears they sold always had a problem with ply separation in the side wall. I would put on bobcat heavy or standard duty or Firestone.
