The New MULTIUSE 550 Series

MULTIUSE 550 series has been developed for specific applications on Industrial tractors, Backhoe loaders, Municipality and Industrial tractors, Tractors dealing mostly with transport on hard surfaces and Compact construction machinery

Specific blocks tread design enables high performances on snow-covered terrains, as well as on sandy terrains. Basic directional lugs design, divided by separated blocks, provides a good grip on soft surfaces.

High number of blocks and rubber to void tread ratio, enable long tread wear life and low rolling resistances during transport operation on hard surfaces.

Uniform ground pressure distribution and tread wear are provided by steel belted carcass structure. In addition, steel belts shield provides the most efficient puncture protection.

Selected Pattern Characteristics

Traditional Alliance “S” Benefits on hard surfaces

Block Type PatternBenefits on snow and ice covered terrains

Directional Tread DesignHigh traction in the travel direction, good steering

High void to rubber ration provides large effective footprint and high tread-wear life

Number of grooves provides efficient self-cleaning on soft surface

Number of small blocks provide high penetration pressure for snow covered terrain

Main Structure Characteristics

Specific tread compound enables high wear resistance

Steel belts shield enables effective puncture protection

Specific sidewalls construction provides high vehicles tilt angle

Main Applications

Industrial Tractors Advantage of tread’s compounds and pattern enable high life time on

hard surfaces Steel belts shield enable effective puncture protection

Municipality Tractors & Compact Machines Advantage of treads compound and pattern enable high life time on

hard surfaces High tilt angel provides stabile machine work on slopes

Work on Snow and Ice Covered Terrain Small blocks pattern enables good penetration and high “spot”

ground pressures Low compounds “TG” point enables work under low temperatures

Construction Machinery “80” series sizes enable mounting on backhoe loaders for specific

applications High tilt angle provides stable machine work on slopes

Main Applications (Cont.)

The MULTIUSE 550 Foot Print’s Advantage

Benefits of the larger footprint area: The lower average ground pressure eliminates the

problems faced by tractor tires while driving on

softer terrains.

Enhances the vehicle’s overall stability and

enables it to work efficiently on slopes which is

important for machines like municipality tractors

and construction machineries. Contributes to

lower and uniform tread wear which results into

longer tire life.

Benefits of the rectangular footprint area:

The Radial tire construction provides all key

benefits like higher traction, longer tread life,

higher machine productivity as well as lower

soil compaction.

Uniform distribution of ground pressure.

Provides better pattern continuity and higher

comfort characteristics such as reduced

vibration and lower noise levels.
