What’s more, the new sizes for Nokian Forest King F2 and Nokian Forest King TRS 2 tyres make them available for a broader range of forestry machinery.
Avoiding damage to the soil has become more and more important in forestry work all around the world. At the same time, mechanized harvesting of timber must be carried out even on the more challenging terrain, making the use of chains or tracks more common.
The new Nokian Forest King TRS 2+ tyres are designed to provide the widest possible ground contact, providing good traction without tracks as well as improved support for chains and tracks.
“The new Nokian Forest King TRS 2+ tyre certainly looks new, and indeed it is a true next generation forestry tyre,” Teemu Vainionpää, Product Manager at Nokian Tyres said.
For harvesting operations, stability is an important feature for a tyre.
“Nokian Forest King TRS 2+ features a 24PR bias structure that’s very efficient in absorbing swings and shocks,” Mr Vainionpää said.
For long operating life, the Nokian Forest King TRS 2+ tyres have extra rubber on the shoulder area. The tread pattern itself is protected with steel reinforcements. These add to excellent cut and puncture resistance, making the tire a safe choice for the most demanding terrains.
When designing the Nokian Forest King TRS 2+, special attention was paid to best possible track support. The tyres deep tread pattern with track grooves and extra wing bars create an optimal surface for track contact, minimizing track slipping and tyre damage.
An important factor for both OEM and replacement tyre users is that the new Nokian Forest King TRS 2+ maintains backwards compatibility with Nokian Forest Rider components such as chains, tracks, tubes and rims.
