BKT tires is displaying in three different locations at this year’s SEMA Show, showcasing its products from the Earthmax lineup for the OTR sector as well as a selection of farming and industrial tires.

For the first time, BKT is also displaying its SR713 tire, a brand-new VF and all steel product specific for implements. At its main booth (located in the lower south hall, booth #41137) the brand-new SR-713 tire is being unveiled. Shown in size VF 445/65 R 22.5, the tire provides reduced soil compaction with a larger footprint and has improved speed levels on paved roads. The steel body, steel belts and multi-rib pattern are specially designed for low rolling resistance and uniform tread wear, BKT says.

BKT’s Earthmax lineup is also on display with its Earthmax SR48, engineered for rigid haul trucks and ideal for heavy loads thanks to its tread resistance, and Earthmax SR55, designed for loaders in quarry and mining operations. The SR51 for loaders and dozers is also on display and provides users with traction, sidewall protection and cut-resistance.

From BKT’s OTR side, its Portmax PM93 for intermodal transport for straddle carriers in port container handling operations is also on display at its booth.

Outside the south hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, BKT is also exhibiting in two outdoor lots. The first, #61017, hosts the Monster Jam Experience: a large semi-trailer with a Grave Digger Monster Jam Truck inside. Visitors can sit inside the truck for a photo opportunity and be entertained with its interactive video games, giveaways and tires on display.

The second outdoor location, #V506, is where the company’s BKT Monster Truck is on display. In its multiple locations at the show, Monster Jam trucks make a big presence, since BKT is the official and exclusive tire manufacturer of Monster Jam. At its booth, the BKT Yamaha ATV vehicle and the Brodozer Monster Jam Truck are not to be missed.

BKT is also hosting celebrity Monster Truck drivers at its locations at the show who will sign autographs for fans each day from 10 a.m. to noon.
