The Nokian Forest Rider forestry tyre range, offering superior traction and driving comfort, will expand with two newcomers tailored for CTL (cut-to-length) machinery. The new size, 600/50R24.5, is especially well suited as a bogey for smaller machines, while the bigger size, 710/70R34, is designed, among other things, for six-wheeled harvesters and forwarders. The size range will expand in the latter part of the year to improve the availability of this radial tyre, which represents top technology in the field.

“The sturdy radial structure can be felt and seen as a large contact area that gives the tyre impressive grip and a sensitive, comfortable driving response. The traction and moving capacity of Nokian Forest Rider is 12 per cent better, and the rolling resistance 5 per cent lower, than those of a traditional cross-ply tyre. Thanks to the low rolling resistance, the tyre also preserves the environment and saves fuel costs,” says Martti Päivinen, Product Development Manager at Nokian Heavy Tyres.
