BKT’s new off-highway tyre size

Tyre manufacturer BKT is offering a new size for its EARTHMAX SR 51 tyre.
January 5, 2022 Read time: 1 min

The 875/65 R 29 L-5 is already available and features an extra deep L-5 tread that is said to offer high cut and puncture protection and longer wear life for wheeled loaders working in aggressive applications.

The new 65 series tyre line comes with extra sidewall protection that helps boost traction and durability. Its strong all-steel structure and cut resistant compounds help increase productivity and operating hours, reducing the risk of downtime from tyre damage.

The low-profile design and reinforced beads offer stability and help to boost life while the square-shaped shoulder laterally ejects gravel and reduces the risk of punctures.

The new 875/65 R 29 L-5 size adds to the existing 17.5 R 25, 20.5 R 25, 23.5 R 25, 29.5 R 29, 35/65 R 29 and 35/65 R 33. All of these tyres are available with the special L-5 class tread and cut resistant compound. The firm says that these are popular sizes for all loading applications.
