Q |
|
 |
| A |
Marathon Tires are made
of amazing micro-cellular polyurethane foam that is comprised of trillions
of tiny air pockets. This material eliminates flats, while creating
the bounce and load handling characteristics of conventional air -
filled tires. Marathon tires also have a dense outer skin for exceptional
abrasion and chemical resistance. |
|
|
Q |
|
|
| A |
Polyurethane foam is two
times stronger than rubber, so it is extremely difficult to wear through
the surface. Our solid tire is most dense at the outer surface, but
is strong throughout the tire. Therefore, even if the outer surface
is worn through, the tire will still perform exceptionally well. |
|
|
Q |
|
|
| A |
Marathon tires are nearly
as light as air - filled tires. Most solid tire alternative are 2
- 3 times heaver than air - filled tires. Our 8" wheelbarrow tire
weighs only 2 pounds more than the average air - filled wheelbarrow
tire. |
|
|
Q |
|
|
| A |
Polyurethane is similar
to rubber in regards to chemical resistance. However, unlike rubber,
the tire is not affected by damaging UV sun rays. Marathon Tires will
not dry out and crack like rubber tires. |
|
|
Q |
|
|
| A |
No! Unlike rubber tires,
polyurethane is non-marking. Marathon tires are great for indoor use
because the will not mark floors. This is the perfect tire for the
delivery business and indoor tasks. |
|
|
Q |
|
|
| A |
Marathon tires look and
feel like air - filled tires and can handle the same load capacity.
Because they are designed to mimic air - filled tires, Marathon tires
provide superior performance in the flat-free tire market. Most flat-free
alternatives are much heavier and offer less bounce than the Marathon
tire. |
