Thombert Press-On Tire 13.5 x 4.5 x 8 – 10368-B

Thombert makes this press-on polyurethane tire at a 13.5 inch outside diameter on a 4.5 inch width, with an 8 inch inside diameter that presses onto the wheel. Polyurethane press-on construction gives the tire the load capacity and non-marking tread a solid tire needs on an electric truck, bonded to a steel band that grips the wheel under a hydraulic press. The 13.5 inch diameter and 4.5 inch width set the footprint the truck was engineered around, and the 8 inch inside diameter governs how the tire presses and seats onto the wheel.

Thombert's cross-reference documents this tire to fit Crown and Linde/Baker lift trucks at this size. As a press-on tire it carries no bearings and presses directly onto the truck's existing wheel.

Before pressing the tire on, match the 8 inch inside diameter to the wheel it mounts to, since a press-on tire seats true only when the band diameter and the wheel agree.
