Mitas developed the CR-02 in response to the requirements of OEMs such as 718 Liebherr and 2123 Manitowoc who are looking to reduce the weight and thereby improve the fuel consumption of their mobile cranes. The  445/95R25 CR-02 is designed for speeds of up to 85 km/h, with a maximum operational load capacity at 80 km/h of 6,700 kg under 9 bar. The tyre has a symmetrical tread pattern and can be retreaded. The tyres can operate in winter conditions and mud.
