Breaking traction when driving through a puddle.
I assumed they are super heavy and would stick to the ground, nope.
The tyres are essentially treadless drift-tyres, and any water on a polished concrete surface will allow some sliding.
This was without load and no crash ensued, just a momentary boost in adrenaline as 1.5 tons is moving a different direction as expected.
Example:

But yes, indoor forklifts are very, very heavy and have smooth AF tires. You can practically drift certain forklifts if you know what you're doing.
'Tyre' is the american ~~bastardisation~~ spelling, so maybe he is from the USA.
Edit: the opposite is true. I am dumb.
I thought tyre was European. I usually see tire in north America.
You are correct, i had this back to front. I need more sleep.
You could say i was too tired.
Haha. Nice one (pun). No worries.
