Skid Steer, Bobcat & Construction Tires in Algonquin, IL
Construction Equipment Tires Built for Algonquin Job Sites
Queens Auto Services provides skid steer tires, Bobcat tires, backhoe tires, and mini-excavator tires for construction crews working across Algonquin, Hoffman Estates, and the I-90 industrial corridor. If your equipment is sitting idle because of a blown tire, that's money bleeding on the job site. Call us at (847) 429-2374 for immediate availability, or bring your machine to 2401 E Algonquin Rd, Algonquin.
We understand that construction timelines don't wait for tire deliveries. That's why we stock popular skid steer and OTR (Off-The-Road) sizes from Michelin Commercial, Goodyear, Bridgestone, and Carlisle, and can source specialty sizes within 24-48 hours. Our technicians have the heavy-duty equipment and technical expertise to handle everything from 10x16.5 skid steer tires to large backhoe rears.
Skid Steer & Bobcat Tire Options
Skid steer tire selection directly impacts productivity, operating cost, and operator comfort. We supply and install three main categories:
- Pneumatic (air-filled) tires — Standard rubber tires offering the best ride quality and traction on varied terrain. Ideal for landscaping, grading, and light demolition. Available in directional and non-directional tread patterns.
- Solid (flat-proof) tires — Puncture-proof rubber tires that eliminate downtime from flats on demolition sites, scrap yards, and areas with debris. Heavier than pneumatics, which adds stability for lifting but reduces top speed.
- Foam-filled tires — Standard pneumatic casings filled with polyurethane foam for a middle ground between ride comfort and flat protection. Popular with Algonquin-area contractors working on mixed-surface sites.
We mount all three types and help you choose based on your primary application, surface conditions, and load capacity requirements. A demolition crew clearing a building off Dundee Ave has completely different tire needs than a landscaping outfit grading a subdivision in South Algonquin.
Solid vs. Pneumatic: Choosing the Right Tire for Your Jobsite
The decision between solid and pneumatic skid steer tires comes down to your jobsite conditions:
| Factor | Pneumatic | Solid/Flat-Proof |
|---|---|---|
| Ride comfort | Excellent | Firmer |
| Flat risk | Yes | Zero |
| Traction (dirt/mud) | Superior | Good |
| Debris resistance | Low | Excellent |
| Operating cost | Lower upfront | Lower long-term |
| Best for | Grading, landscaping, mixed | Demo, scrap, construction debris |
Our technicians evaluate your equipment model, typical jobsite conditions, and budget to make the right recommendation. We've outfitted crews working on projects from the Grand Victoria Casino area down to the Hoffman Estates industrial parks.
Backhoe, Mini-Excavator & Telehandler Tires
Beyond skid steers, we service the full range of construction equipment tires common on Algonquin-area job sites:
- Backhoe tires — Front and rear, including industrial R-4 tread patterns built for loading and digging on hard surfaces.
- Mini-excavator rubber tracks and tires — For wheeled mini-excavators, we supply tires rated for the offset loads and tight turning typical of trench work.
- Telehandler and reach forklift tires — High-load-capacity tires with rim protection for material handling on construction sites.
- Compact track loader (CTL) rubber tracks — Replacement tracks for Bobcat, Case, CAT, and other CTL brands.
Every tire we install includes a full rim inspection for corrosion and damage, proper bead seating, and inflation or torque to the equipment manufacturer's specifications. We treat your $60,000 Bobcat with the same precision we'd give our own equipment.
Fast Turnaround for Algonquin-Area Contractors
Time is money on a construction site. A skid steer with a flat tire isn't just an inconvenience—it can hold up an entire crew and push back project deadlines. Our shop at 2401 E Algonquin Rd is strategically located for contractors working across Algonquin, South Algonquin, Hoffman Estates, Carpentersville, Streamwood, and Bartlett.
We prioritize contractor equipment because we understand the urgency. If we have your tire in stock, most skid steer tire swaps are completed the same day. For solid tire installations (which require a hydraulic press), we schedule dedicated time to get your machine back to the jobsite as fast as possible.
Every hour your skid steer or backhoe sits on flat tires is an hour your crew isn't producing. Queens Auto Services is built for the pace of construction—fast turnaround, honest pricing, and the technical expertise to match the right tire to your jobsite. Whether you need a set of flat-proof solids for a demolition project or pneumatics for finish grading, we've got you covered. Call (847) 429-2374 or stop by 2401 E Algonquin Rd in Algonquin. Let's get your equipment back on the dirt.

Basics like tire installation and alignments are often completed the same day. For diagnostics or larger repairs, we'll give you a clear time estimate before we start any work.

Absolutely. We never perform repairs without your approval. We'll explain what's needed, why it's needed, and exactly what it costs—no surprises.
