The firm offers its conventional PAC MASTER, which is said to ensure stability and a long working life in pneumatic asphalt compaction applications.

Made with a special compound, it offers strength and is able to dissipate the heat from the high temperature of the road surface. This solution is available on the market in numerous sizes: 7.50 - 15, 8.5/90 - 15 K, 9.5/65 - 15, 190/60 - 15, 205/60 - 15, 7.50 - 16, 10.5/80 - 16, 9.00 - 20, 11.00 - 20 and 14/70 - 20.

The same features can be found in PAC MASTER PLUS, which offers a wider contact area to offer more stability. Heat resistance and durability are also distinctive features of this tyre which is available in two different sizes: 7.50 - 15 and 9.00 - 20.

There are three models for soil compactors. TR 387 is available in various versions, including the Dual Bead, which is particularly suitable for industrial tractors thanks to its double bead. The tyre stands out for being durable, as well as for its great resistance to cuts and tears and its propensity for heavy-duty work. Among the many sizes available, the perfect one for compactors is 23.1 - 26.

The TR 390 also offers high load capacity and increased durability and is available in the Dual Bead HD versions, with a double HD bead in the 23.1 - 26 and 28L - 26 sizes and Dual Bead HD Special, with a special double HD bead, only in the 23.1 - 26 size.

There is also the TR 391 compactor range, for both transport and compaction operations. Available in the 14.9 – 24 size.
