Specialized mining tires offer superior traction, which is essential for navigating slippery or unstable surfaces commonly found in mining sites. With this in mind, we present the BKT MINE STAR - a great companion for underground mining vehicles. Thanks to its optimized design and robust build, this model ensures the best performance in heavy duty jobs.
To begin, the BKT MINE STAR has a non directional tread pattern with large blocks. This improves traction by creating plenty of biting edges with the surface. In addition, the optimized shape of the lugs enhances grip and control, giving you crisp control over the vehicle. What's more, the large grooves throw mud and debris away from the footprint, thus reducing the risk of slipping or clogging. Special bars connect the lugs together to prevent deformation under higher load stress. Equally important, an open shoulder design adds more lateral grip, helping you take sharp turns without worries.
Also, the open shoulders combat heat buildup during long work hours, leading to a longer service life. The resilient sidewalls of the BKT MINE STAR withstand heavy loads without problems. Hence, a single tire can support up to 38,100 lbs, depending on size, PSI, and speed. Moreover, this model is available in both tubed and tubeless structure options to meet more individual demands. A robust rubber compound minimizes wear and tear, promising longevity. Besides, it lowers the rolling resistance, maximizing fuel efficiency. Finally, this model is available on the market in many popular sizes with rim diameters between 15" and 34".
