Rubber Press-On Tire Details

The 14x4.5x8 rubber press-on tire is a solid press-on style tire designed to mount on a press-on type 8-inch wheel. This rubber style is often referred to as a cushion tire because it provides more built-in cushioning than a harder polyurethane press-on tire.

Typical size reference for this tire style is approximately 14 inches tall by 4-1/2 inches wide, bonded to a steel press-on ring for installation on the correct industrial wheel.
