Conquer Soft Terrain with TARMAC Bar-Lug Skid Steer Tyres
When working on sand, clay, or loose mud, standard tread patterns often fall short. This is where TARMAC bar-lug skid steer tyres come in—designed specifically for soft terrains, these directional tread tyres deliver maximum traction and stability in environments where flotation matters more than sheer grip.
Whether you're building roads in coastal Peru or landscaping muddy plots in Nigeria, TARMAC’s L2 directional tyres offer unmatched reliability, resistance to clogging, and smooth forward motion. These tyres are widely trusted by contractors in Colombia, Morocco, Vietnam, Kenya, and South Africa for their aggressive bar-lug design and excellent load handling.
🌍 Engineered for International Terrain Challenges
In contrast to block or industrial tread, the bar-lug pattern enables tyres to “cut through” soil while maintaining surface contact. As a result, machines fitted with TARMAC directional tyres are able to work longer without getting stuck, even in marshy or plowed lands.
These tyres are especially preferred in agricultural regions, irrigation zones, and coastal projects where sand or clay conditions can lead to frequent slippage. By maintaining directional stability, they reduce operator fatigue and increase on-site productivity.
🧱 Technical Benefits That Matter
TARMAC bar-lug tyres are available in sizes like 10-16.5, 12-16.5, and 14-17.5. They come with PR ratings up to 14, ensuring high load capacity and carcass durability. The deeper, spaced-out lugs offer superior traction while helping expel mud, reducing the chances of tyre “balling.”
With wide contact areas and reinforced nylon casing, these tyres also exhibit excellent lateral stability, a crucial feature during lifting or turning on uneven surfaces. Furthermore, our advanced tread compound resists premature wear even when exposed to abrasive dirt and gravel.
🔧 Ideal Applications for Bar-Lug Tread
- Sand mining and transport
- Clay excavation and leveling
- Coastal road development
- Agricultural land shaping and plowing
- Wetland construction zones
This makes the bar-lug design a smart choice for not only contractors but also farmers, landscapers, and civil engineering teams working in humid and soft terrains.
