Poly Drive Tire, 97-A X Groove
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the X Groove design provide?
A: The X Groove pattern is a cross-rib design that enhances lateral grip and directional control on drive tires. This tread pattern helps reduce slipping on smooth floors and improves maneuverability in tight warehouse spaces while maintaining the 97-A durometer base compound.
Q: Is the BJ 079160-XGROOVE compatible with the same equipment as the standard BJ 079160?
A: Yes, the X Groove variant is compatible with Big Joe electric pallet jacks and lift trucks that accept the standard BJ 079160 tire. Both share the same hub dimensions and mounting interface. Verify your equipment specifications before ordering.
Q: What materials make up the BJ 079160-XGROOVE tire?
A: The tire is constructed from polyurethane at 97-A durometer with cast-in X Groove tread pattern. The polyurethane compound resists abrasion, oils, and chemicals common in material handling facilities.
Q: When should I choose the X Groove version over the standard tire?
A: Choose the X Groove design if your facility has smooth concrete or polished floors where traction can be limited, or if you need improved maneuverability in congested warehouse areas. Standard tires work fine for textured or rougher floor surfaces.
Q: Does the X Groove pattern affect tire lifespan?
A: The X Groove pattern does not significantly reduce lifespan compared to standard tires. Both versions use the same 97-A polyurethane compound, so durability is comparable at 2 to 5 years depending on usage and load conditions.
