BKT talks about the best of its tires designed and engineered for the complex index needs of highly challenging sectors in terms of operations, such as OTR and industrial sectors. The leading company in the Off-Highway tire manufacturing industry offers a broad selection of high-performance solutions that ensure both safety and efficiency in mining, loading, levelling and earthmoving applications.

The BKT tire range is designed to provide better load distribution on the ground, so that dump trucks, wheel loaders, dozers, graders and some multi-purpose vehicles can tackle any job while offering traction, stability and comfort, withstanding all the hazards that one can find in these rough and rocky environments.

All company’s tires are the result of BKT’s most advanced technology. Among these, for operators and professionals operating in the construction industry, BKT proposes EARTHMAX SR 468, an All-Steel radial tire available up to 57'' - the largest tire ever made by BKT. It has been designed for rigid dump trucks operating in the harshest conditions. This tire stands out by extraordinary puncture resistance due its All Steel construction, making it suitable even for rough terrains. In addition, the unique E4-marked tread pattern and design along with a specifically developed compound ensures effective heat dissipation and exceptional wear resistance under demanding operating conditions.

EARTHMAX SR 53, an All-Steel radial tire for loaders and low-profile dump trucks (LPDTs) which is suitable for operations at underground mines and demolition sites. Marked L-5, it features a deep tread made of a durable compound providing great protection against cuts and wear under tough operating conditions. The reinforced shoulder provides greater lateral stability resulting in optimal vehicle control on uneven surfaces, while the radial structure confers a uniform contact pressure optimizing traction and reducing fuel consumption.
