The new standard in forest performance – Nokian Tyres launches the Forest King TRS 3 tire range with reliable traction and improved durability

The Nokian Tyres Forest King TRS 3 is the new generation of CTL traction tires, introducing 15 sizes across the full range. The tires have improved structural durability, while the tractive tread design with high tread depth delivers excellent traction and lateral grip.

This tire generation sets the new standard in forest performance with reinforced and thicker lugs, increased material thickness, and a redesigned shoulder structure. The strong diagonal structure with steel fortification offers excellent puncture protection. A wider lug design is supported by an extra terrace, while increased shoulder roundness and lug width improve durability in heavy-duty use.

Special attention has been given to forestry applications where tires are used with tracks and chains. The new shoulder and lug design enhances track-to-tire contact. Wide lugs, extra shoulder lift and optimized shoulder roundness give good performance with tracks and chains.

Developed for demanding forestry conditions

The new generation has been engineered on the basis of detailed knowledge of real forestry operating environments. Tires have been tested over several years in partnership with end users to validate improvements under practical working conditions.

“Our development work is based on listening to customers and observing tire performance in real forestry conditions. Long-term testing and direct customer feedback ensure that each improvement reflects practical field experience,” says Teemu Vainionpää, Senior Product Manager at Nokian Tyres.

Enhanced performance with a complete wheel

To fully utilize the performance upgrade available with the new tire, Nokian Tyres makes it available as a complete wheel with a matching heavy-duty wheel and inner tube. The complete wheel is engineered to complement the tire’s properties, supporting optimal performance in forestry applications.

Sizes and availability

he Nokian Tyres Forest King TRS 3 range is now available in a comprehensive selection of sizes for all CTL forestry machines. The new generation is fully compatible with its predecessor: wheels, tubes, tracks, and chains are interchangeable with the new TRS 3.

The expanded lineup introduces several key additions to meet evolving industry needs. The new 780/55-30.5 size brings a high-traction, high-load capacity option to the top end of the range, while the 650/60-26.5 provides a narrow option especially for harvesters. These additions significantly increase the options available to optimize equipment.

Made in Finland

Nokian Tyres’ heavy tires, retreads, and wheels have been awarded the Key Flag Symbol by the Association for Finnish Work, indicating that the products are made in Finland. They also carry the Design from Finland mark, highlighting their Finnish design.
