DO NOT BUY SOLIDEAL TIRES. (TRIGGER WARNING)

warrendeere · Dec 21, 2021

I will never, ever, ever buy another product made by Camso/Camoplast/Solideal. The Solideal Tires are truly terrible. When i First got tires for my tractor i got solideal tires, under the impression that they would save me about $300 and be just as good. Boy, was i just wrong. These tires have to be the worst brand of tires ever. They are already cracking and dryrotting after about 1 1/2 years of standard use, total of 75HRS. These are kept at normal inflation temperatures. The front tires are already bald, and i don't even go on concrete all that often. they are at a high PSI for the front like the manual says for loaders, and even what solideal tires website says. Don't buy these cheap tires. They are truly horrible. Never will i ever buy solideal tires again.

Maybe you could let us know where you got them so we could avoid it.

Off-the-road (OTR) tire maker Camoplast Solideal, Magog, Quebec, Canada, has announced a company name change to Camso. The company says the new brand “represents the best of” predecessor brands Camoplast and Solideal.

“The launch of Camso highlights the success our company has achieved in just a few years,” says Camso chairman and CEO Pierre Marcouiller. “We have become the world’s second-largest specialized player in the manufacturing of tires, tracks and track systems for off-the-road vehicles.”

Camso’s sales in the sector went from $95 million to more than $1 billion in seven years, according to the company, which serves four markets: material handling, construction, agriculture and off-road sports.

Marcouiller says Camso puts 100 percent of its effort on the 11 percent of the global tire and track market that comprises the OTR market.

“One might think that producing on-road and off-road tires are one and the same, but this simply isn't the case,” says Marcouiller. “This has driven Camso to constantly reinvent itself. Our people take the time to understand the multitude of constraints and challenges that machine operators experience,” he adds.

Marcouiller says the company has developed a unique culture for the Camso team in which “road free” means achieving its commitments, being industrious and acting authentically in its relations with its customers and suppliers.

Camso designs, manufactures and distributes tires, wheels, tracks and track systems and works with OEMs including Toyota, Caterpillar and John Deere, as well as several distribution networks. The company has more than 7,500 employees, four R&D centers and 24 manufacturing plants in 27 countries. It also operates an international distribution network in more than 100 countries.
