Eight further sizes have joined the GRI agricultural and construction tyre portfolios, with new dimensions available in the Green XLR Earth 70, Green XLR 85 and Green XLR 70 tractor radial and XPT+ Skid Steer construction ranges.
For GRI, one of the most notable additions to the portfolio is the Green XLR Earth 70, which is now available in the 480/70R34 size with a 149A8/B load index. This radial agricultural tyre is made with 37.5 per cent sustainable material, and GRI notes that it thus provides an ”eco-friendly solution for farmers and construction workers.” Its use of high-dispersible silica in the tread compound also provides longer tyre life and lowers rolling resistance, resulting in increased fuel efficiency and reduced energy consumption. The tyre’s wide footprint and rounded tread lugs minimise soil damage and compaction, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
The Green XLR 85 series, made with stubble compound, is now available in five new sizes: 520/85R42, 520/85R46, 480/80R46, 480/80R50 & 480/80R50. With an optimum 45-degree lug angle, this radial agriculture tyre provides traction for on-road and off-road applications and increases productivity during long working hours. The new tie bar design also prevents centre lug cracks under high loads.
The Green XLR 70, specialised for both on and off-road use, is now available in the 480/70R34 size with a 155D load index. Its flexible sidewall provides higher rider comfort, less fatigue and minimum soil compaction in the field. The reinforced tread buttress maximises tread depth, providing more support at the base for heavy-duty applications such as soil preparation and road transport.
The XPT+ Skid Steer construction range has one new size, 31×15.5-15 with 10PR, making it more versatile for different types of machinery. Its three-step lug design provides higher lug stability, strength, and traction, while the self-cleaning terrace keeps the tyre clean and the machine energy efficient in all working conditions. The reinforced sidewall with high-ply construction also improves side impact protection.
Dedication to innovation & excellence
“We are excited to add eight new sizes to our agriculture and construction tyre ranges, providing our customers with more options to choose from,” says Dr Mahesha Ranasoma, chief executive officer of GRI. “At GRI, we are committed to providing eco-friendly tyre solutions that increase productivity and reduce costs for our customers. These new tyre sizes are a testament to our continued dedication to innovation and excellence.”
With this latest expansion, GRI states an expectation of strengthening its position “as a leading provider of specialty tyres globally.” sg
