2.00-8 Forklift Tires

Understanding 2.00-8 Tire Options

2.00-8 forklift tires are compact pneumatic-type tires used on smaller internal combustion lift trucks and specialty material handling equipment. This size is typically installed in light-duty applications where maneuverability and compact equipment design are priorities.

Proper selection of this size depends on load requirements, rim compatibility, and operating surface conditions.

Pneumatic Tube-Type (TTF) 2.00-8 Tires

2.00-8 pneumatic forklift tires are bias construction, air-filled tires requiring a tire, inner tube, and liner flap (TTF). These tires provide cushioning and flexibility, allowing equipment to absorb shock and operate across concrete, asphalt, and light outdoor surfaces.

Ply rating (PR) varies depending on manufacturer and availability. Higher ply ratings generally provide increased durability and improved load-handling capability within the limits of this compact size.

Because they are air-filled, pneumatic tires offer versatile performance but remain susceptible to punctures in debris-heavy environments.

Resilient Solid (RS) 2.00-8 Tires

2.00-8 resilient solid forklift tires are flat-proof alternatives to pneumatic tube-type tires. Constructed entirely of solid rubber in a full pneumatic profile, RS tires eliminate flats while maintaining consistent stability and reduced maintenance requirements.

Resilient solid tires are available in:

• Standard Black Rubber — Durable compound suited for industrial and light outdoor environments.

• Non-Marking Rubber — Grey, white, or cream compounds designed for clean warehouse environments and regulated operations.

Resilient solid tires provide increased uptime compared to air-filled pneumatic tires, with a firmer ride profile.

Selecting the Right 2.00-8 Tire

Choosing the correct 2.00-8 forklift tire depends on load capacity, operating surface conditions, floor marking considerations, and tolerance for downtime. Review available ply ratings and compound options below to determine the best configuration for your equipment.
