MAXAM Tire has released the MS501 MineXtra in a new 45/65R45 size for L5 wheel loaders and heavy-duty mining machinery. Designed for harsh aggregate and mining environments, the 45/65R45 MS501 targets off-the-road (OTR) applications, MAXAMsaid.
The MAXAM MS501 MineXtra uses an extra-deep, open L5 offset lug pattern with staggered tread blocks for wear and damage resistance in off-road conditions, MAXAM said. A square shoulder design and wide footprint improve stability and ride comfort for large equipment.
To increase cut resistance, MAXAM said it engineered the tyre with reinforced bead, shoulder, and sidewall construction. A cut- and tear-resistant compound helps minimise downtime, extending tire life and improving performance in abrasive environments, it said.
“We aim to amplify operational productivity,” said Matt Fagan, Director of R&D at MAXAM Tire North America. “The 45/65R45 MS501 addition is another indication of MAXAM’s pledge to design only the most capable solutions for the industry.”
