Its separate lugs are tapered for
greater traction and self cleaning,
resulting in an easier drive through
heavy dirt and mud.
FG
BIAS - L2/G2
Tyre developed for machines
employed in snow clearance work.
It has excellent traction as well as
excellent cornering and braking
performance, especially on icy,
packed or soft snow surfaces. It also
provides all season services.
VSW
L2/G2
Suitable on wet, soft and
muddy surfaces with excellent
manoeuvrability, traction and
flotation. It offers a comfortable
ride due to its superb stability.
VLT
L3/E3
Offers great productivity value
thanks to its low vibration level,
high stability and good soil traction.
It meets the needs of the tough
working conditions required by
today’s quarrying and construction
industries.
VJT
L3
This new generation of tyre offers
an exceptional stability with its
wider contact surface, a superior
driving comfort, an optimum
traction and selfcleaning.
VTS
L3
4
Deep tread tyre suitable for tough
quarry, mining or handling sites. It
provides optimum traction without
compromising the tread life and
the riding comfort.
VSNT D
L4/E4 BIAS
Particulary suitable for rocky and
abrasive conditions with superior
traction, even in muddy conditions.
It also offers good handling and
comfort on hard packed surfaces. It
has a long tread life and an excellent
cut resistance.
VLTS VM
L4/E4 E
Extra deep tyre, excellent for most
severe quarry face operations where
traction is of utmost importance. It
maintains a high traction level even
when it is 75% worn. Designed to
optimise traction and reduce tread
and sidewall cuts, resulting in a
longer tyre life.
VSDT VM
L5 E
Extra deep tread designed for severe
and rocky surfaces guarantees good
traction, stability and a comfortable
ride. The VSDL is perfect for
heavyduty operations in open pits,
quarries and underground mines.
The sidewall provides extended
protection from cutting.
VSDL VR
L5 E
Smooth extra deep tread tyre (L5S)
designed for operations on severe
rocky surfaces and in underground
mines, open pits and quarries.
Its special compound ensures a
maximum resistance to cutting and
wearing.
