How to choose the right underground mining tires? 

From narrow tunnels to extreme loading conditions, our tires for underground mining ensure your operations remain productive, safe, and efficient. Consider these factors when evaluating your options: 

• Load capacity: Ensure the tire’s load index matches the weight of your machinery and the density of the material being moved. 
• Machine compatibility: Nokian Tyres offers specialized solutions for LHD loaders, drill rigs, and other mining machines to ensure optimal performance. 
• Tread depth and pattern: Choose mining tires with optimized tread patterns for low contact pressure and groove depth indicators for monitoring the condition of the tire.  
• Materials and heat resistance: Mining-specific rubber compounds are engineered to dissipate heat while remaining highly resistant to cuts and abrasions.
