The potential market of solid tires

To industrial trucks, tires play a pivotal role. The selection of tires depends on the model, scale, weight of vehicles, as well as the ground roughness, temperature and transportation condition. Solid industrial tire is a special tire, which is mainly used in hijacking vehicles, armor cash carrier, anti-terrorism car, engineering vehicle and other special vehicles. Currently, the application of solid tires is not widespread, while its developing prospect is very good, which is a good condition for those solid tires manufacturers. In recent years, some famous tires businesses also turn their sights to the market of solid tires. Take Michelin as an example, it has already produced solid tires a few years ago, but it didn't run a mass production. Instead, Michelin just brought it to those high-end models, such as Rolls-Royce. I think it is probably because of the high cost of production.

Not only those traditional businesses, but also some American defense industry enterprises also set their foot on solid tires. By report, they have invested $27 million in this field. The most prominent characteristic of solid tires is good wear and puncture resistance, and anti-explosion. It is mainly used in military vehicles. For example, the US army did use such tires in the Iraq War.
There are also some Chinese tire manufacturers that are trying to produce solid tires, but mostly for engineering vehicles. Personally speaking, businesses should pay more attention on anticipating customer demands, so that solid tires can be brought to the market successfully.
