In 2018, Nokian Tyres launched a whole new type of tractor tyre combining the strength of an earthmoving tyre with a new kind of lug pattern, the Nokian Tractor King which pushed the boundaries of tractor work in demanding forestry, earthmoving and road maintenance applications.

In 2019 eight new tyre sizes were launched, and from April 2020 onwards a brand-new size will be introduced.

In 2018, Nokian Tractor King tire was first made available in seven sizes:

540/65R28, 540/70R30, 600/65R34, 600/70R34, 650/65R38, 650/75R38, 710/75R42.

To make the tyre compatible with even wider range of machinery, eight new sizes were launched in the beginning of 2019:

500/65R28,600/60R28, 540/65R30, 600/70R30, 620/75R30, 600/65R38, 650/85R38, 710/70R42.

Now the range of machinery has developed even further so from April 2020 there will be a new size: 650/65R42.
