When the operation requires strong traction along with high load capacity, you should choose your tires carefully. We present the BKT Flotation 558 - a perfect choice for baling, hay harvesting, and haulage applications. Thanks to its versatile build, this model is suitable for trailers, balers, hay harvesters, and tankers.
For starters, the unique tread pattern of the BKT Flotation 558 provides the best traction and surface contact. The overlapping blocks create many biting edges that improve the handling ability and grip of the tire, ensuring maximum productivity. Moreover, a continuous center rib binds the lugs together to combat deformation under load pressure. Next, the rounded open shoulders apply a soft touch on the ground, thus protecting the crops and soil from crushing. An optimized void ratio boosts the self cleaning ability by evacuating mud and other ground parts from the footprint. This reduces the risks of skidding or clogging in harsh conditions.
What's more, the BKT Flotation 558 comes with robust sidewalls that provide rim protection against lateral impacts. They also elevate the maximum load capacity, allowing weights of up to 13,120 lbs per single tire, depending on size and pressure. A tubeless build fights off air leaks by securing a tight rim fit. Adding to that, it promotes high flotation and higher load capacity at lower inflation pressure. Thanks to the tire's new rubber formula, the rolling resistance is reduced and so is fuel usage. The tough materials extend the service life by resisting constant wear and tear. Finally, this model is available on the US market in popular sizes with a rim diameter of 22.5". It is important to mention that some sizes are "Aramid belted" for higher durability.
