OTR Tires
for the Toughest Jobs
New OTR tires. Foam fill. Toolbox cost-per-ton reporting. One of the largest OTR service fleets on the East Coast — dispatched to your quarry, mine, or job site.
Off-the-Road Tires:
Built for Extreme Conditions
Off-the-road (OTR) tires are purpose-built for heavy equipment that operates on construction sites, open-pit mines, aggregate quarries, ports, and industrial facilities — terrain where standard commercial truck tires would fail within hours. McCarthy Tire Service has supplied OTR tires and on-site OTR service to quarry, construction, and material-handling customers across the East Coast since 1926.
Our knowledgeable OTR team helps you choose the right construction — bias or radial — and the right fill type — pneumatic, foam fill, or solid — for your specific application, surface conditions, and load requirements. All OTR tires in our inventory are manufactured from high-quality natural rubber compound engineered for extended wear life and superior resistance to cuts, cracks, and punctures.
We also manage ongoing tire performance with Toolbox, a Bridgestone-developed software reporting platform that delivers cost-per-ton analysis so you can benchmark and optimize tire spend across your entire fleet — not just individual units.

800-724-3506Tread Patterns for Every Surface
Matching the tread design to your operating surface is the single most impactful decision affecting tire life and cost-per-ton performance. Our OTR specialists will recommend the right pattern for your conditions.
Rock Pattern
Deep, aggressive lugs engineered for hard, abrasive rock surfaces. Maximizes traction in blasting areas and rocky excavation sites while resisting cuts and impact damage from sharp stone.
Mining • QuarryBlock Pattern
Versatile block tread designed for mixed-surface construction environments — soft ground, gravel haul roads, and compacted fill. Excellent self-cleaning in muddy conditions and stable on variable terrain.
Construction • EarthmovingRib Pattern
Continuous circumferential ribs deliver stability and low rolling resistance on hard-packed surfaces, paved haul roads, and port terminals. The preferred choice for RTG cranes and straddle carriers.
Port • Terminal • Hard RoadSmooth / Solid Pattern
Slick or smooth tread engineered for indoor warehouse and factory floors. Eliminates rubber debris and marking while delivering maximum load capacity per square inch. Available in pneumatic and solid configurations.
Warehouse • IndustrialBias vs. Radial OTR Construction: Which Is Right for Your Operation?
| Attribute | Bias OTR Tire | Radial OTR Tire |
|---|---|---|
| Cut & Impact Resistance | Excellent — ideal for rocky terrain | Good |
| Heat Dissipation | Fair | Excellent — better for sustained speeds |
| Tread Life (hard surface) | Good | Excellent |
| Load Capacity per PSI | Excellent | Good |
| Best Application | Rock/cut environments, short hauls | Long haul, high-speed surface ops, ports |
Wherever Heavy Equipment Works
McCarthy Tire's OTR division serves every industry that runs heavy off-road equipment — from open-pit mines to port terminals to indoor manufacturing facilities.
Mining & Aggregates
Haul trucks, wheel loaders, graders, and scrapers in open-pit and underground environments. Toolbox reporting to benchmark and optimize tire spend across your high-cost equipment fleet.
Construction
Earthmovers, compactors, graders, and scrapers on active construction sites. On-site tire service and boom-truck dispatch across our East Coast territory — so your equipment stays on production.
Port & Terminal
RTG cranes, straddle carriers, terminal tractors, and reach stackers. Smooth and rib tread patterns for hard terminal surfaces; foam fill for puncture immunity in high-traffic areas.
Material Handling & Warehouse
Large-format forklifts, tow tractors, and lift equipment for industrial facilities. Smooth solid and foam-fill solutions eliminate flat-tire downtime entirely in indoor environments.
Forestry
Skidders, feller bunchers, forwarders, and harvesters on soft, muddy terrain. Deep lug patterns and high-float designs prevent soil compaction and keep equipment productive in demanding conditions.
Government & Infrastructure
DOT-compliant OTR supply and service for government construction, road-building, and infrastructure programs across the East Coast McCarthy service territory.
Foam Fill OTR Tires: Zero Flat Downtime
Foam-filled OTR tires are permanently filled with polyurethane foam, eliminating the possibility of a flat entirely. Ideal for waste-handling facilities, scrap yards, demolition sites, recycling operations, and any application where puncture risk is extreme and downtime is unacceptable. McCarthy performs foam fill in our service bays.

The Service You Need to Run Your Fleet
We use TreadStat, a unique software reporting system, to make sure that you are getting the most out of your tires. These reports include a tire cost per ton analysis to benchmark your usage per carry ton.
We know that downtime is lost time. We run one of the largest service fleets on the east coast so we can install and service your tires onsite.
New tires are expensive. Repairing and/or retreading your tires can give them new life without any loss of performance. We offer three different types of retreading for OTR tires – mold cure, computer cut, and continuum.
