The India-based manufacturer says the new tyre's main distinguishing qualities are excellent stability and resistance to damaging attacks. The robust casing and the All Steel belts are designed to enable the EARTHMAX SR 412 to transport heavy loads while avoiding tears and punctures.

BKT adds that the tread has a unique design with an E-4 depth, guaranteeing exceptional traction and high heat resistance, while the square shoulder ensures EARTHMAX SR 412 has a solid grip on the ground, which gives the vehicle greater control and manoeuverability. EARTHMAX SR 412 is available in the 29.5 R 25 and 750/65 R 25 sizes.

The new product joins the EARTHMAX range of OTR radial tyres designed to operate in the most extreme and adverse situations.

Specifically designed for dump trucks, wheel loaders, dozers and graders, the tyres in this range are designed for tough operations and to guarantee these vehicles better load distribution on the ground and ensure comfort, safety and stability for end users.

Originally launched in 2008, EARTHMAX now numbers over twenty different product lines with numerous models and sizes. BKT says the 'all steel' structure which characterises all the tyres in this range makes the different EARTHMAX models especially suitable for operations on large worksites, in quarries and in mines, resisting puncture, penetration by foreign bodies and other damage to the casing.

The launch of the new product, which follows on just a few months after the announcement of the prototype of the gigantic EARTHMAX SR 468, the biggest tyre ever made by BKT. The company says this bears witness to the extraordinary work of the group's research & development team in always finding new solutions to help end users in their field operations.
