Investing in durable, long lasting tires can lower overall operational costs by reducing the frequency of tire replacements and repairs. With the BKT SM 55 L5S, you can forget about safety and durability issues. This new mining tire fits low profile dump trucks and other mining vehicles.
Primarily, the slick tread design of the BKT SM 55 L5S raises surface contact, giving you full control of the vehicle at all times. The wide patch evenly spreads load stress across the surface to increase the weight capacity and overall stability of the truck. Thanks to its robust build and tough sidewalls, a single tire can safely support massive weights of up to 110,000 lbs, depending on size and inflation pressure. Equally important, this model is available in both tubed and tubeless build options to meet more individual demands. Each type of structure offers various benefits in different conditions.
What's more, the modern rubber compound that the BKT SM 55 L5S has boasts high resistance to chip and cut damage. This raises the service life and reduces the risk of downtime. Moreover, it lowers the rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel efficiency for the truck. Its closed shoulders improve stability and cornering precision. Also, the durable sidewalls shield the rim from impacts to avoid costly repairs. This model is available in a steel belted version as well, suitable for more demanding tasks. Finally, it is accessible on the market in plenty of popular sizes ranging between 12" and 45" rim diameters.
