Agrigear was awarded special recognition for its input into the development and testing of the Agrimax tyre. Agrigear was the first ever customer of BKT for AGRIMAX radial tyres. The very first batch of Agrimax tyres manufactured by BKT was shipped to Ireland to Agrigear in May 2004. A commemorative plaque was presented to Fred by Rajiv Poddar, Joint Managing Director of BKT. |

That has changed the dynamics of the European agricultural industry with its best in class, value for money products. BKT-AGRIMAX Radial Tractor tyres have completed a decade of its launch.

TYRE LIFE is influenced by several factors:
Generally on a front-wheel-drive car you'd hope for a minimum of 20,000 miles for front tyres, and double that for those on the rear. The legal minimum limit for tyre tread depth in Ireland is 1.6mm. This is because, tyre performance, particularly in wet weather gets worse as the tread wears down. The greater the wear to your tyres the worse its wet weather grip will be. Tread depth should be checked more frequently once it reaches 3mm. Tyres should be replaced before their tread depth wears below 2mm. This is especially important if heading into autumn and winter months. TYRE AGE: Age is a separate issue to wear. Tyres deteriorate naturally through exposure to heat, sunlight (Ultraviolet/UV) light and rain.Degradation depends on the amount of exposure and the severity of the weather. This is a more common problem for caravans, trailers and vehicles which are often only used occasionally. In everyday vehicles, tyres almost certainly will wear out before they degrade to such an extent they're unserviceable. UV cracking tends to occur in tyres that are four or five years old. Tyres should be replaced irrespective of age if cracking becomes severe |
