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.

Having driven in a cooler of a big box store, yeah those things will slide forever on wet concrete. Super fun when you’re rushing to get work done for the day.
Happened to me. I rammed the forks into the open back of the semi and pierced a little into the cardboard boxes. No damages but the 5secone of sliding when I tried to break with wet tires felt insane.

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
I thought tyre was European. I usually see tire in north America.
