Techking debuts tubeless mining tyre

Techking has introduced its first tubeless mining tyre. The Chinese manufacturer says it has released a size 12.00R24 mining pattern; advantages it reports over comparable tube-type tyres are higher air retention from the high-grade butyl liner compared with that of an inner tube, less heat generation and better heat release, a lighter overall weight and more convenient mounting and dismounting.

The manufacturer also offers its new 12.00R24 tubeless tyre as part of a combined tyre/rim package, and it says a “green subsidy” is on offer for operators undertaking a first time conversion from tube type tyres to tubeless.
