Titan International (Titan) introduced the company’s first steel-belted skid-steer tire. The Carlstar branded Ultra Guard Steel tire line is the latest innovation solidifying Titan’s guarantee to become a true full-service provider for all tire sizes and applications.
The Ultra Guard Steel line meets the increasing demand in the marketplace for a high-performance, steel-belted option for tough environments like construction sites and areas with high-puncture hazards.
“We listened to our customers and studied competitor offerings to engineer a tire that raises the bar for durability and rider comfort,” said Travis Little, general manager of ag, construction and industrial products for the Carlstar and Carlisle brands.
The Ultra Guard Steel is built for operators pushing the limits of their machines in high-intensity and demanding environments while delivering a more forgiving ride, helping improve machine performance and operator comfort.
Key benefits include:
- Heavy-duty steel-belt construction: Over 150% increase in puncture resistance compared to a traditional bias tire.
- Ultra durable design: Larger lug design enhances load distribution by boosting overall endurance.
- Flexible sidewall: improves rideability through better shock absorption.
- Increased tread-to-surface contact and deeper tread depth: allows for better grip, traction and strength in tough conditions.
- Built-in robust rim guard: Provides added rim protection, preventing damage and reducing repair costs.
The Ultra Guard Steel is made to serve a wide range of industries while delivering premium performance and greater operator confidence on the job, reinforcing Titan’s commitment to providing customers with a complete tire lineup. It’s now available to pre-order, with product availability expected in February 2026.
