Obo Tyres agricultural/industrial tyre concept

Obo Tyres BV has launched the new 24R20.5 Transport Heavy Duty (HD), which – according to the company – focuses on both performance and durability.  24R20.5 was reportedly selected because of demand in the market and the requirement for both comfort and mobility.

Research and development of the casing, the tread design and materials was done in cooperation with Pelmar Engineering Ltd. The tyre is Obo’s first self-made product for the agricultural and transport market. New profiles and sizes are now in the process of being developed.

“The new 24R 20.5 casing was developed for transport, has the highest capacity in its class (178D/7500 kg) and is a heavy duty “all-rounder”, which is suitable for many applications,” Frederik Zandmann, technical manager at Obo commented.

Retreadability

As Obo has been one of the largest retreaders in Europe for the last 55 years, the new tyre has been designed with repeatable retreadability in mind. Therefore Obo says it can guarantee two to four lives depending on usage.

Obo is the exclusive representative of Techking Tires for the full range of EM, OTR and Agri tyres in Germany and three other European countries. Company representatives report that the new development has allowed Obo to proceed with a system that enables it to guarantee customers ability to retread the tyre sold in Europe.

All Obo’s tyre services and tyres are now offered online via a new online shop – all current items can be found on the internet at shop.obo.nl.
