On-/off-road agri tyre: BKT Multimax MP 569

BKT has debuted a new on-/off-road tyre for trucks and mixed-use vehicles employed in agricultural applications, the Multimax MP 569. The tyre maker created the BKT Multimax MP 569 as a front axle fitment in size 445/65 R 22.5, to be employed in combination with the FL 633 Performa on the rear axle in size 600/50 R 22.5.

Multimax MP 569 features an all-steel casing that allows driving speeds of up to 100 km/h / 62 mph with a load capacity of 5,800 kg and load pressure of 9bar (130.5 psi). BKT has optimised the tread design for traction in the field and good self-cleaning properties, together with on-road ride comfort and stability, as well as low rolling resistance.

“Agro trucks normally have two different tread patterns on the rear drive axle and the front steer axle, depending on the work they have to do: the rear axle must guarantee more traction, while the front axle must have more directional ability,” comments Denis Piccolo, product manager at BKT. “The ideal equipment for these vehicles, according to our studies, is achieved by combining two BKT products, such as: the new Multimax MP 569 on the front axle which features shoulders that assist traction. It also has, in the central part of the tread, a design which guarantees both less rolling resistance and excellent ability to maintain direction. And on the rear axle FL 633 Performa, ultra-resistant, with exceptional load capacity and durability. It represents the future of Flotation tyres which are also ideal for agro trucks.”
