At the forefront of technological evolution, JK Tyre, India’s premier tyre manufacturer, today launched 11 new Off-the-Road (OTR) tyres at the 12th edition of South Asia’s largest construction equipment trade fair, CII EXCON 2023, in Bangalore. The new addition to the company’s product portfolio reaffirms the brand’s commitment to propelling innovation in the industry.
Introduced at the exhibition, the all-new JK Tyre 18.00–25 40PR Port Champion Plus is JK Tyre’s Next-Gen Port Tyre, designed specifically for Reach Stackers (container handling equipment). The tyre provides excellent durability, mileage, and steering ability during the operation owing to its deep tread and accurate pattern with heavy rubber in the center.
