Alliance Tire Group (ATG) is launching the LHD 500 SDS solid tyre for extreme working conditions. The company says SDS stands for Severe Duty Solid and it has designed the tyre for the most demanding applications such as scrap metal recycling.

The special tread compounds from which the tyre is made protect against cuts, but also ensure wear is even and low with minimal heat build-up. In addition, their high lug-to-void ratio provides excellent machine stability and increases the life of the product, claims the company. A single row of apertures around the side of the tyre provides some riding comfort and also helps minimise heat build up. The tyre is built for drop-down rim operation, with three sizes currently available: tyre size 14.00-24 for rim 10.00-24, tyre size 14.00-25 for rim 10.00-25, and tyre size 17.5-25 for rim 14.00-25.
