Kevin Burke Tyres Ltd (KBT) will showcase its extensive Alliance agricultural tyre range, alongside its specialist wheel-manufacturing capabilities.
Among the highlights will be the popular Alliance Agristar II, a premium radial tractor tyre featuring Stratified Layer Technology (SLT), designed to maintain traction and performance throughout the tyre’s working life.
The Alliance VF 372 and VF 373 patterns will also feature, demonstrating Very High Flexion technology (VF).
VF tyres are designed to handle heavier loads at lower inflation pressures compared to conventional tyres. KBT says that VF tyres distribute the weight of the machinery more evenly, reducing the pressure exerted on the soil, to help preserve soil structure.
Running at lower pressures means the tyres offer better traction due to their larger footprint and increased flexibility. The Alliance 354 Row Crop range will also be showcased.
KBT will present its radial flotation range, including the Alliance 882, 885 and 590 patterns, suitable for agricultural trailers and slurry tankers, etc. A particular highlight will be the introduction of the Alliance 390 radial flotation tyre, offering higher load ratings to meet the increasing demands of modern agricultural machinery.
Wheel manufacturing solutions
Alongside its tyre range, KBT will highlight its specialist wheel manufacturing capabilities. The company can manufacture and supply complete tyre and wheel assemblies for agricultural and specialist machinery applications.
KBT also reconditions rims, cleaning them down to bare metal by sand blasting. Any damage is then repaired before being oven heated, powder coated with an undercoat, before being baked, powder coated with the colour specified and baked again.
