The Maxam MS406 is an off road and underground mining tire. It finds its use on articulated dump trucks. It basically has everything that such a tire needs, so you can drive and accomplish your job.
Firstly, the wide footprint creates a large area of contact between the Maxam MS406 and the ground. When the model has a flat surface, more of it touches the ground at once. This increased contact area is important because it allows the model to spread the weight of the heavy mining vehicle more evenly. By distributing the weight across a larger area, the Maxam MS406 reduces the pressure on any one spot. This helps prevent the model from sinking into the ground, especially in soft or loose terrain, which is often encountered in mining environments. Also, the open shoulders withstand massive loads of up to 132,300 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. And, the shoulders increase control, especially when turning too.
Secondly, the deep undertread extends the Maxam MS406's lifespan. Mining tires withstand heavy loads and tough terrain, which causes wear and tear over time. A deeper undertread means there is more material available to wear down before the model becomes too thin to be effective. This extended wear life allows it to be used for longer periods before replacing, which is important for reducing the costs and downtime associated with frequent changes. Equally important, the tubeless build handles varying air pressures. Tubeless options run at lower air pressures without the risk of pinching an inner tube between the Maxam MS406 and the rim, which can happen in traditional models. Finally, the available sizes on the US market start with 25'' and go up to 45'' rim diameter options.
