Key Highlights
- The ForestEDGE line is tailored for skidders, feller bunchers and other forestry machinery, enhancing traction and stability in tough environments.

Titan International Inc. (Titan) is launching the new ForestEDGE tire line "engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of modern forestry operations."
Expanding on the company's forestry product offerings and complimenting the Goodyear Logger Lug line, the ForestEDGE portfolio aims to be "a reliable, high‑value and cost-conscious solution," say Titan officials. The tire line is specifically for skidders, feller bunchers and other forestry machinery and is created to improve traction and stability.
“Forestry environments are often extreme,” says Matt Werstein, product and engineering R&D manager for OTR at Titan. “With the Titan ForestEDGE, we set out to provide a tire that not only stands up to some of the worst conditions but also helps boost productivity and lower total operating costs. After extensive field testing, we're confident that the ForestEDGE line delivers the durability and value operators need to keep their machines moving.”
"The Titan ForestEDGE line is designed to deliver proven forestry performance at a more accessible price point, exceeding the needs of loggers, timber operators and equipment owners who demand dependability and durability," according to officials.
Features of the ForestEDGE line include a "heavy-duty steel-belt package" for durability and an effective rubber compound for "consistent wear and prolonged tire life," among other benefits.
“Forestry work is demanding, not just on people, but also on equipment and tires,” says Andrew Hogan, director of pricing and product strategy at Titan. “We worked closely with customers and dealers to understand where current solutions were falling short. The ForestEDGE is the result: a tire line that’s tough, dependable and built around the realities of modern forestry work.”
The Titan ForestEDGE is available to order in the following sizes through Titan’s authorized dealer network: 30.5L-32 and DH35.5L-32. The 24.5-32 is available for pre-orders with anticipated delivery in Q3.
