40.00R 57 EARTHMAX SR 468
is an All-Steel radial tire specially designed for rigid haul trucks. Its
unique tread design with special tread compounds makes it perfect for hard,
rocky, and tough mining conditions. Its
tread lug blocks with circumferential grooves and intertwined blocks ensure
effective heat dissipation. Also, the sturdy square shoulder assists in
ejecting loose stones to protect the tire from injury. EARTHMAX SR 468 is
developed using BKT's cutting-edge technology to carry heavy loads, deliver
longer service life, and provide resistance to rock cuts and punctures.
50/65R51 EARTHMAX SR 53 is an All-Steel radial
tire specially designed for loaders, dozers, and low profile dump trucks (LPDT)
operating in severe rocky conditions, including underground operations and
scrap yards. The deep L-5 tread and the cut-resistant compound provide an
extended wear life in addition to excellent traction and stability.
16.00R25 EARTHMAX SR 34 is
an All Steel radial tire specially engineered and designed for rigid dump
trucks working in several operations like mining, quarry, logging and haulage.
The non-directional block tread pattern provides excellent traction and
stability on any type of terrain. EARTHMAX SR 34 is ideal for handling heavy
loads. The strong All Steel casing features excellent wear and resistance to
any snag and punctures. Its reinforced bead and the shoulder design contribute
to an extended tire life-cycle even under the most heavy-duty service
conditions.
