JK Tyre has expanded its off-the-road tyre portfolio with four new products aimed at construction, material-handling and mining equipment.
JK Tyre & Industries has introduced four new off-the-road (OTR) tyre solutions at BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA 2026 in Greater Noida. The new products are aimed at machines that operate in demanding environments, including self-loading concrete mixers (SLCMs), backhoe loaders, telehandlers and mining tippers.
The new range comprises 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. While the first three tyres are intended for construction and material-handling applications, the JDO XD is positioned for mining tipper operations.
According to JK Tyre, the products have been developed with Indian operating conditions in mind, with an emphasis on traction, durability, load-carrying capability and service life. These characteristics are particularly important for heavy equipment, where tyre performance can influence productivity, operating costs and machine uptime.
JK Tyre Expands OTR Tyre Portfolio
The four new products cover several equipment categories used across construction sites, infrastructure projects and mining operations. Their introduction gives JK Tyre a broader offering for machines that regularly encounter uneven surfaces, heavy loads and abrasive working conditions.
MPT 45 Tyre Targets SLCMs and Backhoe Loaders
The 12.5/80-18 MPT 45 16PR TL has been developed for self-loading concrete mixers and backhoe loaders operating across mixed terrain. Its tread pattern is designed to provide traction and stability while supporting more even wear and longer service life.
For construction equipment that moves between roads, work sites and rough surfaces, a balance of grip, stability and durability is important. The MPT 45 is therefore aimed at applications where tyres need to cope with changing terrain without compromising machine manoeuvrability.
MPT117 Range Developed for SLCMs and Telehandlers
JK Tyre has also introduced two MPT117 products: the 16/70-20 MPT117 14PR TL and 18-19.5 MPT117 18PR TL. The range is intended for construction and material-handling applications involving equipment such as self-loading concrete mixers and telehandlers.
JK Tyre says the MPT117 tread geometry has been optimised to deliver grip, durability and manoeuvrability in challenging operating conditions. The 18-19.5 MPT117 18PR TL has been introduced specifically for self-loading concrete mixer applications.
JDO XD OTR Tyre Designed for Mining Tippers
The 12.00R20 JDO XD OTR 22PR 156/153F TT is the mining-focused product in the new range. It has been developed for mining tippers, where tyres are exposed to heavy loads, abrasive surfaces and the risk of cuts and impact damage.
The tyre features a heavy-duty construction and reinforced casing intended to improve resistance to cuts, chips and abrasion. Its load-oriented construction is designed for demanding mining environments where durability and uptime are critical.
Focus on Durability and Machine Uptime
OTR tyres play a direct role in the productivity of construction and mining equipment. A tyre that withstands demanding conditions for longer can reduce downtime associated with replacements and help equipment remain operational.
With these four products, JK Tyre is targeting applications where traction, load capacity, damage resistance and service life are important considerations. The company is also positioning the range around the specific requirements of Indian operating conditions.
AutoLob Take: Why These New OTR Tyres Matter
JK Tyre’s latest OTR additions show how tyre manufacturers are increasingly developing application-specific products for India’s expanding construction, infrastructure and mining sectors. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all approach, the new range covers different machine categories and operating requirements.
The MPT 45 and MPT117 products are focused on construction and material-handling equipment, while the JDO XD takes a more heavy-duty approach for mining tippers. For fleet operators, the practical benefit will ultimately depend on tyre life, resistance to site damage, traction and operating cost under real-world conditions.
