JK Tyre & Industries has launched four new off-the-road (OTR) tyre solutions at BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA 2026, targeting construction, material handling and mining applications. The new range includes tyres for self-loading concrete mixers (SLCMs), backhoe loaders, telehandlers and mining tippers.
The new products comprise the 12.5/80-18 MPT 45 16PR TL, 16/70-20 MPT117 14PR TL, 18-19.5 MPT117 18PR TL and 12.00R20 JDO XD OTR 22PR 156/153F TT. The first three are intended for construction and material-handling equipment, while the JDO XD is designed for mining tipper applications.
The MPT 45 pattern has been developed for SLCMs and backhoe loaders operating across mixed terrain, with a tread design intended to provide traction and stability while promoting even wear and longer service life. The MPT117 pattern is aimed at construction and material-handling operations involving SLCMs and telehandlers, using optimised tread geometry for grip, durability and manoeuvrability. The 18-19.5 MPT117 has been introduced specifically for SLCM applications.
The 12.00R20 JDO XD OTR has been developed for mining tippers, featuring heavy-duty construction and reinforced casing designed to improve resistance to cuts, chips and abrasions.
JK Tyre Director – Sales & Marketing Srinivasu Allaphan said the company’s OTR product development is focused on application-specific requirements and the operating conditions faced by construction, infrastructure and mining equipment. He added that the latest products are intended to improve equipment uptime and operational efficiency.
The launch forms part of JK Tyre’s expansion of its OTR business across construction, mining and specialised industrial segments, strengthening its OEM connectivity and presence in higher-value, performance-intensive applications.
