Understanding 355/65x15 Tire Size
355/65x15 forklift tires are wide-profile metric tires commonly used on larger internal combustion lift trucks operating in heavy industrial and outdoor environments. The 355mm section width combined with a 65 series aspect ratio provides a broad contact patch for improved load distribution and lateral stability.
This size is frequently selected for higher-capacity forklifts requiring increased traction and stability under substantial lifting conditions.
Pneumatic Tube-Type (TTF) 355/65x15 Tires
355/65x15 pneumatic forklift tires are bias construction, air-filled tires requiring a tire, inner tube, and liner flap (TTF). These tires provide cushioning and shock absorption, allowing forklifts to operate effectively on gravel, asphalt, and mixed outdoor surfaces.
Ply rating (PR) varies depending on manufacturer and availability. Higher ply ratings generally provide increased durability and load-handling capability for demanding applications.
Because they are air-filled, pneumatic tires offer flexibility and ride comfort but remain susceptible to punctures in debris-heavy environments.
Resilient Solid (RS) 355/65x15 Tires
355/65x15 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 stable load support in heavy-duty operations.
Available compound options include:
-
Standard Black Rubber — Durable compound suited for heavy outdoor and industrial environments.
-
Non-Marking Rubber — Designed for clean warehouse environments where floor protection is required.
Resilient solid tires provide increased uptime and reduced maintenance, with a firmer ride compared to air-filled pneumatic tires.
Selecting the Right 355/65x15 Tire
Selecting the correct 355/65x15 forklift tire depends on load requirements, terrain conditions, floor marking considerations, and downtime tolerance. Review available ply ratings and compound options below to determine the best fit for your equipment.
