L-5 size for BKT Earthmax SR 51 tyre
BKT has recently launched a new size for its Earthmax SR 51 tyre: 875/65 R 29 L-5. The new 65 series tyre line is specially designed for wheel loaders working in challenging applications, in highly abrasive rock quarries and landfills. This is possible thanks to the cut resistance extra deep L-5 tread, that offers excellent cut and puncture protection and longer wear life.
BKT’s Earthmax SR 51 also features an extra sidewall protection. Its strong All Steel structure and cut resistant compounds are said to help increase productivity and operating hours, preventing downtime due to tyre damage. BKT says the low-profile design and reinforced beads offer excellent stability and lead to a longer 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 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 them are featuring the special L-5 class tread with cut resistant compound and are very popular sizes for all loading applications, meeting the demanding needs of OTR equipment applications globally.
