The company is the pioneer of manufacturing India’s largest tyre size- 40.00-57, 12 ft in diameter, weighing approximately 3400 kgs. The company has also achieved a remarkable feat by entering the prestigious Limca Book of Records for the largest off-the-road tyre — the VEM 045 measuring 12 feet in height and weighing approx 3.4 tons. Catering to the diverse requirements of industrial and mining use, the company offers a comprehensive range of robust products. 

Speaking at the event, Anuj Kathuria, President, JK Tyre & Industries said, “JK Tyre has been at the helm of introducing several cutting-edge and technologically advanced products. Our strong position in the Off-the-Road tyre segment resonates with our commitment to innovation and to making products that maximize performance and durability even on the most challenging Indian terrains. We are sure the three new tyres are ‘category defining’ breakthrough products which will further strengthen our position in the OTR tyre market.”

The 26.5-25 Loader Champ 28PR E4/L4 TL is a premium heavy-duty product designed for wheel loaders and articulated dumpers having a high-depth tyre with a specially engineered tread pattern to offer great traction, mileage, and cut resistance under arduous mining operating conditions.  

In addition to the aforementioned, two new tyre variants for skid steer loaders viz. 23X8.50-12 JET TRAX ULTIMA and 23X5.7-12 JET TRAX SUPER II were also launched, targeted for international markets. The tyres are designed for material handling equipment and other types of construction equipment for “Non-Highway services (NHS)”. The SILICA based tread compound in the tyres provides better resistance to wear and tear. The tyres also feature a robust wide wall & rim guard design that provides additional resistance to external damages and greater protection against wheel damage in the rim flange area.
