The Bridgestone benefit: OTR Tyres for Underground Mining

Modern underground mining takes place in extreme environments with a unique set of operating conditions.

Underground vehicle tyres exposed to such conditions must be capable of handling heavy loads, extreme rim-pull and high average speeds while negotiating narrow drives with harsh underfoot conditions. All these factors combined can result in high potential for cut damage.

Bridgestone’s premium lineup of off-the-road underground mining tyres is specifically designed to handle it, using unique patterns that provide superior cut protection, ride comfort and optimal traction.

Heavy-duty, highly durable radial casing minimises sidewall cutting, while Bridgestone’s industry-leading rubber compounds provide the perfect balance between cut protection and heat generation.
