8.25-15 and 825x15 Are the Same Size Class

Both 8.25-15 and 825x15 refer to the same forklift tire size class. The way the size is written can vary by manufacturer, listing format, and product type.

8.25-15 is the standard industrial size format, while 825x15 is a shorthand version commonly used in search and catalog references.

Always verify the exact size printed on your current tire sidewall and confirm wheel specifications before ordering.

Common Drive Tire Applications

8.25-15 is commonly used in the front drive position on heavier internal combustion forklifts where additional load support, traction, and stability are needed.

Compared with narrower 15-inch rim options, this size offers a wider section width that can help support medium-to-heavy lifting applications in demanding environments.

Depending on forklift capacity, axle setup, and wheel configuration, 8.25-15 may be paired with steer sizes such as 7.00-12, 300x15, or other matched configurations.

Shop 8.25-15 by Construction Type

8.25-15 forklift tires are commonly available in the following constructions:

Pneumatic Tube-Type (TTF) — Air-filled bias forklift tires that use a tire, inner tube, and liner flap. These are commonly selected for mixed indoor and outdoor environments where ride cushioning and impact absorption are important. Ply ratings can vary by manufacturer and application, with higher ply ratings often used for heavier-duty service.

Solid Resilient (RS) — Flat-proof, pneumatic-shaped solid rubber forklift tires designed to reduce downtime caused by punctures while maintaining dependable load stability. These are commonly chosen for demanding industrial applications where uptime is a priority.

Black Rubber and Non-Marking Options

8.25-15 solid resilient forklift tires are commonly available in both standard black rubber and non-marking compounds.

• Standard Black Rubber — Common for heavy industrial and outdoor use where floor marking is not a primary concern.
• Non-Marking Rubber — Common for clean warehouse and regulated environments where reducing floor marks is important.

Mounted Assemblies and Wheel Fitment

Depending on the product selected, 8.25-15 may also be available as a mounted tire and wheel assembly for faster installation and simpler ordering.

Because bolt pattern, center bore, wheel width, and offset can vary by forklift model, always verify your wheel specifications before ordering wheels or mounted assemblies.

Why Buyers Choose 8.25-15

8.25-15 forklift tires are commonly selected when a forklift application calls for a wider 15-inch drive tire with dependable traction, strong load support, and durable performance across industrial surfaces.

For operations where flats create costly downtime, solid resilient options can be attractive. For applications where ride cushioning and shock absorption matter more, pneumatic tube-type options may be preferred.

Choosing the Right 8.25-15 Forklift Tire

The right 8.25-15 / 825x15 forklift tire depends on load demands, operating surface, wheel type, floor marking requirements, and tolerance for flat-related downtime.
