Our verdict

A rugged industrial tire with a reinforced sidewall and rim protector for carts and equipment. It is not a turf tire, so it can mark soft lawns.

Overview

Rolling industrial carts and equipment across mixed surfaces is the job for the Carlisle Trac Chief. Its rugged lug pattern adds grip and steering control, while a reinforced sidewall resists cuts and shields the rim.

A reinforced sidewall and rim protector cut downtime from punctures and bent rims on rough sites. The aggressive lugs are a poor match for delicate turf.

Who it's for

Warehouses, yards and job sites with mixed paving and gravel suit it. Lawn care owners should look at a turf-pattern tire instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Reinforced, cut-resistant sidewall
  • Rim protector design
  • All-weather lug pattern
  • Listed tread depth
Cons
  • Rim not included
  • Aggressive tread marks turf
  • Low load capacity for heavy loads

Performance notes

Lug detail increases road contact, which helps steering response and stability. The thicker sidewall takes the hits from curbs and debris that would otherwise cut the casing or bend the rim.
