Titan Introduces New Hybrid Wheel Loader Tire

The HK 458 is initially available in two sizes, 20.5-25 and 23.5-25. It is suited to fit a range of mid-sized wheel loaders from every OEM, says Titan.

Titan International, Inc. has introduced the new Titan HK 458, a crossover wheel loader tire suited for the most extreme loader applications that require aggressive traction and self-cleaning. The E-4/L-4 dual-rated bias tire combines the tread design of a forestry tire, a wheel loader tire and an ATV tire all in one — making it suited for both muddy, challenging construction sites and agriculture applications, according to the company.

Titan says the open forestry tread pattern molded with its premium forestry compound decreases wear rates and is complemented with multiple layers of high-elongation steel belts underneath it providing puncture resistance.
