Exmile is a value-focused industrial tire brand we stock for two very different jobs: cured-on (mold-on) solid tire-and-wheel assemblies for scissor lifts and aerial work platforms, and a broad range of pneumatic (air) forklift tires. This guide explains exactly what an Exmile cured-on / mold-on tire is, how it differs from press-on and pneumatic tires, what equipment it fits, and how to order the right Exmile tire the first time.

The Exmile lineup at a glance
Exmile's catalog centers on two families. Knowing which one your machine needs is the single biggest step toward ordering correctly.
| Family | Construction | Best for | Key trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cured-on / mold-on (CON-Series) | Solid rubber cured onto a steel wheel; complete assembly | Scissor lifts, aerial and boom lifts, select equipment | Non-marking, bolt-on, flat-proof |
| Pneumatic (air) | Air-filled tire mounted on a rim | Forklifts working outdoors or on rough surfaces | Wide size range, cushioned ride |
Looking for solid pneumatic (resilient) options that fit pneumatic rims and resist punctures? See resilient solids and pneumatics or check current Exmile inventory.
Cured-on vs mold-on vs press-on vs pneumatic - the difference that matters
These terms get used loosely, but they describe genuinely different parts. Ordering the wrong construction is the most common - and most expensive - replacement mistake.
| Construction | How it mounts | Tire + wheel together? | Typical equipment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cured-on / mold-on | Rubber cured onto its own steel wheel; bolt the complete assembly on | Yes - one complete unit | Scissor lifts, aerial / boom lifts |
| Press-on band (cushion) | Rubber on a steel band, hydraulically pressed onto the machine's wheel | No - band only; needs a press | Cushion-tire forklifts (indoor) |
| Resilient solid | Solid rubber in a pneumatic profile; mounts on a pneumatic rim | No - tire only | Forklifts in puncture-prone yards |
| Pneumatic (air) | Air-filled tire seated on a rim, like a car tire | No - tire only | Outdoor / rough-terrain forklifts |
Exmile cured-on / mold-on solid tires (CON-Series)
The Exmile CON-Series is the brand's cured-on / mold-on line for scissor lifts and aerial work platforms. The tire is built and cured directly onto its steel wheel, so it arrives as a finished, ready-to-bolt-on assembly.
- Non-marking compound with a high percentage of natural rubber - extended wear life, low rolling resistance, and no marks on finished floors.
- Cured directly onto the steel wheel for a permanent bond - the tire and wheel ship as one complete assembly.
- Straight bolt-on installation - remove the old assembly and bolt on the new one. No tire press required.
- OEM-approved by Genie, Manitou, Airo and Dingli.
- Commonly used on certain Genie, JLG, Skyjack and Snorkel scissor lifts, plus select Genie boom lifts and vertical mast lifts. Always verify fitment before ordering.
Exmile pneumatic forklift tires
Beyond mold-on assemblies, Exmile makes a wide range of pneumatic (air-filled) forklift tires for trucks that work outdoors or on rough, uneven surfaces. They mount on standard pneumatic rims, like a passenger or truck tire, and deliver a cushioned ride with good outdoor traction.
- Available across a broad size range - common sizes run from 15x4.5-8 up through 32x12.1-15 and more.
- Mount on standard pneumatic forklift rims.
- Black tread compound built for outdoor and rough-surface duty.
Browse pneumatic forklift tires for the category, or see current Exmile sizes and pricing. For flat-proof outdoor duty, compare resilient solids.
Exmile wheels and assemblies - how sizing works
With cured-on / mold-on tires, the wheel is part of the tire - you order a complete assembly, not a bare tire. That makes sizing simple once you know how to read it.
Need a bare wheel or a different assembly? See wheels and assemblies, or match by equipment with the forklift tire sizes by make and model guide.
How to order the right Exmile tire the first time
- Identify the job. Scissor or aerial lift means cured-on / mold-on (CON-Series). A forklift usually means pneumatic.
- For mold-on: read Outside Diameter x Width x Bore from the current assembly, and confirm brake vs non-brake position if your machine uses both.
- For pneumatic: read the size off the sidewall, for example 7.00x12.
- Match to your equipment make and model using the make and model size guide.
- When in doubt, verify fitment with us before you order - it is the fastest way to avoid a wrong-part return.
