Tyre manufacturers place all the important information about the tyre on the sidewall. In addition to the exact tread name, it also contains the key size information such as tyre width, rim diameter and the ratio of sidewall height to tyre width. The load and speed indices are also listed below the specifications. It indicates the maximum speed for which a tyre is designed and the maximum load that the tread can safely carry.

The Sailun Regio Pro STR 2 MAX is now available from us - initially in size 205/65 R 17.5, with other sizes to follow. This extremely resilient tyre was developed for low-loader trailers and impresses with its price and (running) performance.

COVEX brand truck rims have successfully established themselves in Bohnenkamp's product range. One year after the sales launch, demand for the stainless steel rims has exceeded expectations and shows that quality and price are in a very good relationship. The brand was able to acquire new customers not only in the replacement business, but also among well-known original equipment manufacturers.

Diagonal or radial - every commercial tyre can be assigned to one of these two types.

In our workshop tip, we look back at the history of development, explain both types of construction and list their advantages and disadvantages.

By looking at the shared history of Bohnenkamp and BKT, a lot can be revealed about our own development, our reliability towards customers and partners, and our continually fresh ideas for a successful, partnership-based future. We spoke with our Chairman of the Board Gregor Rüth and the Head of Overall Sales Thomas Pott about the previous, very dynamic years and future perspectives.

The Indian tyre manufacturer BKT has grown significantly over the past ten years. The company with headquarters in Mumbai, India, has opened two production facilities as well as its own industrial waste production plant. The expansion of production capacity and the growth-promoting investments in research and development have positioned BKT well to serve the sectors OTR, agriculture and industry worldwide with tyres. We spoke to BKT Chairman Arvind Poddar during the anniversary celebrations.

BKT brand tyres have been part of our company's standard product range for 25 years. We celebrated the partnership that has connected us ever since with a joint event in Osnabrück to mark the anniversary. Time to look back - and set the course for the future.

With the Alliance 590, the manufacturer Yokohama Off-Highway Tires launched a flotation tyre specifically for use in agriculture and the construction industry last year. The tread has been available at Bohnenkamp since this year.

For safe use on the construction site, we have equipped a rear tipper, a low loader, and a tipping semi-trailer unit each with a complete set of sample tyres. The pinpoint selection shows the breadth and depth of our range for construction site trucks in every application scenario.

There's no cheaper way to ballast a tractor than with water in the tyres. However, for a safe ride with water-filled tyres, workshops and users must observe a few basic rules - also because some tyre manufacturers expressly advise against water ballast. Our workshop tip on water-filled tyres shows what practitioners need to pay attention to.
