Three new sizes in Nokian tyres for tractors

The Nokian Tyres Tractor King tyre family is designed for forestry, earthmoving and road construction jobs. A wide range of available sizes ensures the best match with the machine and the job at hand. This is why the Nokian Tyres Tractor King family is expanded with three new sizes, 600/65R28 for front axle as well as 710/70R38 and 800/70R38 for rear axle. Source: Timberbiz

When the Nokian Tyres Tractor King Tyre family was released in 2018, it was especially welcomed by the people doing heavy tractor work in harsh terrains. Its all-new tread pattern with more tractive edges provides excellent grip while the fortified carcass and special forestry compound add reliability. With the three new sizes, even more tractors can benefit from these properties.

Big machinery, heavy loads and powerful work attachments call for high load-bearing capacity from a tyre. The biggest of the new rear tyre options, 800/70R38, raises the load-bearing capacity to a new level.

“The new tyre boasts the highest load carrying capacity in the Nokian Tyres Tractor King product family with a Load Index (LI) of 183,” said Teemu Vainionpää. “The wider rear tyres offer increased traction and durability, particularly beneficial for high horsepower earthmoving pulling tasks.”

The Tractor King family has proven its worth in countless sites around the world. In Spain, Juan Vicente, working for Nivelanciones Hnos Cabanillas, is impressed with the tyre’s durability, traction and load capacity.

“We have tested countless tyres on the market and without a doubt the hourly performance and high reliability provided by Nokian Tyres Tractor King, makes our work more profitable and safer,” Juan Vicente said.

Juan Vicente also welcomes the new sizes.

“They give us the opportunity to install Nokian Tyres Tractor King on all machines we have in the company,” he said.

The three new sizes of Tractor King – 600/65R28, 710/70R38, and 800/70R38 – are available for order.
