These
centrifugally-molded polyurethane tires are the optimal solution for
large-wheeled combat robots. BattleTreads are a solid, one piece tire
- no air to leak out, no tube, not a heavy foam-filled rubber tire.
This means that the tire is amazingly lightweight and nearly indestructible.
These
tires have been used with great success on many of your favorite robots...
Toro, T-Minus, The Matador, Nightmare, The Judge, Mechavore, Vladiator,
Vlad the Impaler II and many more.

*
CareFree tires can be machined or cored out to achieve any size, profile,
or weight. You can even drill holes all the way through if you wish.
* Carefree
tires do not delaminate and jam up in your robot when cut apart like
foam filled tires. They are also far lighter than foam-filled tires.
They are even non-marking and oil resistant.
* There
are many hub solutions avaliable for these tires as they are all made
as replacements of commercially available air filled tires. Azusa,
Douglas and
Skyway
all make very good rims. These are readily available from most Go
Kart retailers.* All
tires are shipped directly from CareFree to you. If the tires are in
stock they ship in 1-2 days otherwise they have to make them and they
take up to 2 weeks (but usually sooner). Note that these tires are all
specially designed for robot combat related applications, you can not
order them directly from Carefree. We are one of the only authorized
distributors of these robot tires.* For
highest traction, we recommend removing the outter slick layer of the
tire. This can be done on a lathe or by turning the tire on the robot
and using a grinder or sander. There are also foam tire traction compounds that help.
* Please
note that the "OD" or Outside Diamter specification in the
charts above, is a maximum number after being mounted on rims. As different
rims cause the tires to expand different amounts, this number may vary
by as much as .25".
* Carefree
Tires are Made in the U.S.A.
