In the heart of winter, the performance of municipal vehicles equipped with the right tires becomes a critical factor in preserving community safety. For example, the BKT RideMax IT 697 M+S is a winter tire designed for tractors involved in transport and municipality tasks. Thanks to its optimized structure, it ensures a great grip on snowy roads without the need for snow chains.
Firstly, the BKT RideMax IT 697 M+S has a lugged tread pattern that offers superb traction in harsh weather conditions. The directional design with a zig zag center rib provides stability and control when driving on slippery roads. Moreover, the high void ratio boosts the self cleaning ability by channeling water and snow away from the patch. This reduces the risks of skidding or aquaplaning, ensuring a safe and cozy ride. Besides, the smart placement of sipes adds extra biting edges that improve grip and handling response, keeping you in control of the tractor at all times.
Secondly, the new rubber compound of the BKT RideMax IT 697 M+S resists high and low temperatures without impacting performance. Thus, it remains flexible during cold winters to ensure the best traction and grip. The tough materials also reduce wear and tear for a longer service life. An open shoulder design adds more stability and improves the cornering accuracy, making it easier to take sharp turns. Its durable sidewalls protect the rim from impacts and upgrade the load capacity, allowing a single tire to carry up to 20,400 lbs. At last, this model is available on the US market in a wide range of sizes from 24" to 42" rim diameters.
