Mitas tyres exploring frozen Lake Baikal 

Mitas in partnership with Russian agricultural equipment company, Rostselmash, organized an initiative aimed at raising awareness of the unique ecosystem of Lake Baikal in Russia. In March 2017, in collaboration with National Geographic Magazine, a photo and video session was held at the frozen Baikal Lake. The extreme conditions of -25 °C demanded top of the range equipment such as Versatile 2375 tractor with a double mounting of Mitas 520/85R42 AC85 tyres.

Jozef Rúček, managing director for Mitas in Russia, says: “Through this project we want to highlight that Mitas tyres can work reliably and efficiently in all conditions. At Lake Baikal this was pushed towards the extreme but it is good to know that even in such demanding conditions Mitas tyres are a partner that farmers can rely on.”
