Nokian introduces new straddle carrier tyre

The multi-layer tyre body features an ultra-durable textile structure that maximises the stiffness of the body to provide stability, even at high speeds. The first size in the new product family is 16.00R25, the most common tyre size of 8-wheeled straddle carriers.

Improved wear resistance and durability of the HTS Straddle is in a special rubber compound particularly tailored for use on even, as well as uneven or rough surfaces in a maritime terminal environment.

The winding shape of the main grooves in the tread enlarges the cooling area to reduce heat generation that accelerates tyre wear. Moreover, the winding groove design increases lateral stability in the shoulder area, an important factor when driving heavy loads.
