The milling machine includes a frame, a plurality of wheels supporting and propelling the machine over the paved surface and a cutting assembly rotatably mounted to the frame for removing an upper layer of paving material from a paved surface. In a typical arrangement, the milling machine has two front wheels and one rear wheel. Both front wheels and the rear wheel are typical equipped with tires made of solid rubber having a durometer rating in the range of 45 to 60. Typically, the front wheels are adapted to be turned through a 45-degree range and the rear wheel has a turning range of about 90 degrees.
