Genie model numbers encode platform height and deck width. For example, GS-2646 = 26′ platform height with a 46″ wide deck. The first two digits are the height; the second two are the width in inches. Wider-deck models (46″) carry higher platform capacities than narrow-deck models (32″) at the same height.
15x5x11 — Integrated Hub vs. 5-Hole Wheel: The 15x5x11 tires listed on this page use the integrated hub configuration. A 5-hole bolt pattern version is also available but not currently listed online. If your Genie model requires the 5-hole wheel, contact us or call 1 (866) 313-2180 with your model number and we will get you the correct version.
10x3 — 5-Hole Wheel Also Available: The 10x3 tire listed on this page for the GR-12 uses the standard wheel configuration. A 5-hole bolt pattern version is also available but not always in stock. If your machine requires the 5-hole wheel, contact us or call 1 (866) 313-2180 and we will confirm availability.
Z-Series Boom Lift Wheel Configurations
Genie Z-30/20N, Z-30/20N RJ, Z-33/18, and Z-34/22N boom lifts use two different wheel bolt patterns — one for each axle position. One axle takes an 8-hole wheel and the other takes a 9-hole wheel. The two patterns are not interchangeable.
| Configuration | What You Get |
|---|---|
| 22x7 Pair — 8-Hole | 2 tires on 8-hole wheels (one axle position) |
| 22x7 Pair — 9-Hole | 2 tires on 9-hole wheels (other axle position) |
| 22x7 Complete Set (4X) | 2 tires on 9-hole wheels + 2 tires on 8-hole wheels |
The complete set (4X) is pre-configured with the correct wheel mix for the Z-30/20N, Z-30/20N RJ, Z-33/18, and Z-34/22N.
Understanding Genie Tire Size Notation
Genie scissor lift tires use mold-on solid sizing, which reads differently from standard forklift tire sizes:
| Size | Format | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 10x3 | OD x Width | 10″ outside diameter, 3″ tread width |
| 12x4.5x8 | OD x Width x Hub ID | 12″ outside diameter, 4.5″ tread width, 8″ hub bore |
| 14x4.5 | OD x Width | 14″ outside diameter, 4.5″ tread width |
| 15x5x11 | OD x Width x Hub ID | 15″ outside diameter, 5″ tread width, 11″ hub bore |
| 22x7 | OD x Width | 22″ outside diameter, 7″ tread width |
When confirming your replacement size, check the markings on your current tire sidewall or the machine data plate — not just the Genie model number, as specifications can vary by serial number range within the same model.
Exmile CON-Series — Mold-On Solid Construction
Every Genie replacement tire in this section is an Exmile CON-Series mold-on (cured-on) solid tire. During manufacturing, a non-marking rubber compound with a high percentage of natural rubber is heated and cured directly onto the steel wheel, creating a permanent molecular bond between the compound and the steel. Each unit ships as a single, complete tire-and-wheel assembly.
The Exmile CON-Series is OEM-approved by Genie (along with Manitou, Airo, and Dingli) and is engineered for low rolling resistance — which supports longer battery life on electric scissor lifts and lower fuel consumption on engine-powered units. The high natural rubber content in the tread compound contributes to extended wear life and a lower cost per operating hour compared to generic aftermarket alternatives.
There is no separate tire and wheel to mount. Installation is a straight bolt-on swap — remove the old tire-and-wheel assembly from the hub, bolt on the new one. No hydraulic press, no tire mounting equipment, no special tooling required.
Tire Specifications
Specifications from the Exmile CON-Series catalog for the five Genie tire sizes carried in this section:
| Size | Metric | Tread Width | OD | Tread Pattern | Load @ 6 km/h | Static Load |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10x3 | 254 x 76 | 3″ | 10″ | RIB2 | 1,455 lb | 1,863 lb |
| 12x4.5x8 | 305 x 114 | 4″ | 12″ | LUG4 | 2,390 lb | 2,679 lb |
| 14x4.5 | 356 x 114 | 4″ | 14″ | RIB1 | 2,789 lb | 3,935 lb |
| 15x5x11 | 381 x 127 | 5″ | 15″ | LUG1 / LUG4 | 3,197 lb | 3,560 lb |
| 22x7 | 559 x 178 | 7″ | 22″ | LUG3 | 6,823 lb | 8,664 lb |
Load ratings are from the Exmile CON-Series catalog. The 6 km/h rating reflects typical scissor lift travel speed; static load is the maximum at standstill. Actual load per tire should not exceed the rated capacity for your operating speed.
Why Non-Marking Rubber
Every Genie tire in this section uses non-marking gray rubber compound. Standard black rubber tires contain carbon black filler, which transfers dark scuff marks to floors during normal operation. Non-marking rubber replaces carbon black with silica-based fillers, producing a lighter-colored compound that does not leave black marks on concrete, coated floors, or sealed surfaces.
Non-marking tires are the standard specification for indoor Genie scissor lifts and boom lifts. They are commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, food processing facilities, pharmaceutical plants, and any environment where floor marking is not acceptable. There is no black rubber option for these machines — non-marking is the correct compound.
When to Replace Scissor Lift Tires
Mold-on solid tires do not go flat, but they do wear. Replacement is needed when:
- Tread is worn smooth — reduced traction can cause the machine to slide on smooth or slightly wet surfaces, especially at turning points
- Flat spots have developed — from extended parking in one position or drag-steering; flat spots cause vibration and uneven platform ride at height
- Rubber is chunking or cracking — exposure to chemicals, UV, or excessive heat can degrade the compound over time
- Machine fails level inspection — uneven tire wear across the four corners can cause the platform to exceed tilt limits set by the machine’s pothole protection system
Most rental fleets and facility maintenance teams inspect scissor lift tires on a regular cycle and replace based on visible condition rather than a fixed mileage or hour interval.
Why Tires Are Sold in Pairs — and Why We Recommend Replacing All Four
Genie scissor lift tires are sold as pairs (2X), not as individual tires. Scissor lifts rely on all four tires having consistent diameter and tread condition to maintain a level platform at height. Mismatched tire wear between axles can cause the machine to tilt beyond the limits of its pothole protection system, triggering a fault or creating a stability concern. This is the primary reason single tires are not offered — replacing one tire at a time increases the risk of an uneven machine.
We recommend replacing all four tires (2 pairs) at the same time whenever possible. This ensures uniform tread height across all four corners, consistent traction during steering, and a level platform at full extension.
| Consideration | One Pair (2X) | Two Pairs (4 tires) — Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| When to Choose | One axle noticeably worse; opposite pair still serviceable | All four tires worn, or you want uniform tread height for level stability |
| Wear Consistency | Mixed — new pair vs. existing pair | Uniform — all four tires start fresh |
| Discount | No automatic discount (1 pair = 1 item) | 7.5% automatic discount (2 pairs = 2 items) |
| Best For | Targeted replacement when only one axle needs it | Full-machine refresh for best stability and level platform |
Tip: Each pair counts as one item in the cart. Ordering 2 pairs (one full machine) qualifies for the 7.5% discount automatically. Consolidating 4+ pairs across multiple machines in a single order reaches the 15% tier.
Installation
Mold-on solid tires bolt directly onto the machine hub. The general process is:
- Secure the machine — park on level ground, lower the platform, engage the parking brake, and chock the opposite wheels
- Raise the axle — use a floor jack under the chassis at the designated jack point to lift the tire off the ground
- Remove the old assembly — remove the wheel nuts, slide the old tire-and-wheel assembly off the hub studs
- Install the new assembly — slide the new mold-on tire-and-wheel onto the hub studs, hand-thread the wheel nuts, and torque to the value specified in your Genie service manual
- Repeat — lower the jack, move to the next wheel position if replacing additional tires
No hydraulic press or tire mounting equipment is needed. Standard hand tools and a floor jack are sufficient for the entire job.
Safety Notice: Scissor lift tire replacement involves lifting and supporting equipment that weighs several thousand pounds. Always follow the jack point locations and support procedures in your Genie service manual. Use rated jack stands — never work under a machine supported only by a floor jack. If you are not trained or equipped for this work, have a qualified service technician perform the installation.
The installation steps above are provided as a general overview only and do not replace the procedures in your equipment manufacturer’s service manual.
Before Ordering
Genie brand alone does not confirm fitment. Before placing your order, verify:
- Current tire size — check the sidewall markings on your existing tire or the machine data plate
- Genie model number and serial number — wheel specifications can vary by serial range within the same model designation
- Wheel configuration — especially for Z-series boom lifts (8-hole vs. 9-hole on different axle positions)
- Quantity needed — we recommend two pairs (all four tires) for consistent stability; one pair if only one axle needs replacement
Verify exact tire size and fitment before ordering.
Brand Note: The primary brand for this product line is Exmile CON-Series. If the Exmile CON-Series is temporarily out of stock, an equivalent replacement brand may be substituted. Any substitute is guaranteed to fit the same Genie models and wheel configurations listed on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of tires do Genie scissor lifts use?
Genie indoor scissor lifts use mold-on solid tires made from non-marking rubber. The rubber is cured directly onto the steel wheel during manufacturing, so each tire ships as a complete assembly that bolts directly onto the machine. No separate mounting or pressing is required.
How do I find the right tire size for my Genie model?
Check the sidewall markings on your current tires or the data plate on your machine. Compact GS-series models (GS-1530, GS-1532, GS-1930, GS-1932) use 12x4.5x8 tires. Wider-deck and higher-reach GS models (GS-2032, GS-2632, GS-3232, GS-2046, GS-2646, GS-3246, GS-4047) use 15x5x11 tires. Z-series boom lifts use 22x7 tires. Always confirm by serial number, as specifications can change across production runs.
What is the difference between the 8-hole and 9-hole boom lift wheels?
Genie Z-30/20N, Z-30/20N RJ, Z-33/18, and Z-34/22N boom lifts use two different wheel bolt patterns — one axle takes an 8-hole wheel and the other takes a 9-hole wheel. The two patterns are not interchangeable. If replacing all four tires, the complete set (4X) includes the correct mix of 2 tires on 9-hole wheels and 2 tires on 8-hole wheels.
Why are Genie tires non-marking?
Genie scissor lifts and indoor boom lifts are designed primarily for indoor use on finished concrete, coated floors, and sealed surfaces. Non-marking rubber uses silica-based fillers instead of carbon black, producing a lighter compound that does not leave dark scuff marks. Non-marking is the standard specification for these machines — there is no black rubber option.
How are mold-on solid tires installed?
Mold-on solid tires bolt directly onto the machine hub — no hydraulic press or tire mounting equipment is needed. Remove the wheel nuts, slide the old tire-and-wheel assembly off the hub studs, slide the new assembly on, and torque the wheel nuts to the value specified in your Genie service manual. Standard hand tools and a floor jack are sufficient.
How do I know when my Genie scissor lift tires need replacing?
Replace mold-on tires when the tread is worn smooth, flat spots have developed from drag-steering or extended parking, the rubber is chunking or cracking, or the machine fails a level inspection due to uneven tire wear. There is no fixed mileage interval — replacement is condition-based.
Can I replace just two tires instead of all four?
Genie tires are sold as pairs (2X), not as individual tires — single-tire replacement is not offered because mismatched tread heights between tires can affect platform stability. We recommend replacing all four tires (2 pairs) at the same time for consistent tread height and level platform performance. If only one axle is noticeably worn, a single pair can be ordered, but replacing all four is the preferred approach. Ordering 2 pairs qualifies for the 7.5% automatic discount in cart.
Do these tires fit other scissor lift brands like JLG or Skyjack?
No. The tires in this section are mold-on assemblies manufactured with wheel bolt patterns and hub dimensions specific to Genie models. Even if the tire size matches, the wheel configuration may differ. JLG, Skyjack, and Snorkel each have their own dedicated tire sections on this site.
