WESTLAKE: Built for heavy-duty construction and mining

Among the launches, the WESTLAKE 29.5R25 CB740 tyre has been developed specifically for articulated dump trucks. It features:▪ A block tread design for greater ground contact and stability
▪ 17% deeper tread than the TRA E-4 standard to increase service life
▪ A multi-compound structure for better adaptability across conditions
▪ Upgraded sidewalls, delivering 10% better puncture resistance and 15% reduced crack propagation

WESTLAKE also displayed two additional OTR products:▪ The 35/65R33 CB398, engineered for underground mining trucks
▪ The 290/90-20 EL08, developed for wheel excavators

These additions reflect WESTLAKE’s continued focus on robust tyres for high-load, high-wear industrial environments.

TIANLI: Forestry and agriculture in focus

TIANLI introduced the 800/45-30.5 FOREST GRIP, a tyre designed for forestry machinery. The open tread pattern helps improve self-cleaning, while also supporting:▪ Balanced power distribution to reduce slippage
▪ Improved traction and flotation in muddy or loose terrains
▪ Suitability for use on articulated dump trucks in harsh off-road conditions

In agriculture, the 460/70R24 BACKTRACK RADIAL SUPREME was presented. This tyre is aimed at backhoes and telehandlers, with a design that prioritises:▪ Strong traction and wear resistance
▪ Reinforced shoulders for added puncture protection
▪ Stability across rough agricultural landscapes
