MAXAM Tire is expanding its off-the-road product line with the introduction of the 45/65R45 size in the MS406 series, tailored for heavy loader applications. The MS406 carries an E4/L4 rating, which means it is specifically designed for earthmoving and loader operations and features extra tread depth for improved durability in tough environments. This new size provides customers with a dependable option engineered for long-lasting performance, durability, and operational efficiency.
The MS406’s deep E4/L4 lug pattern enhances traction and provides strong resistance to wear and cuts, making it ideal for demanding work sites. This robust tread design maximises grip and helps fleets boost productivity, resulting in a lower cost-per-hour throughout the tyre’s lifecycle. The tyre also offers superior retreadability, which means it can be renewed for additional use, extending its lifespan and helping customers save on replacement costs. Its wider footprint improves stability, especially when carrying heavy loads. In a recent field test, operators reported a reduction in tyre-related downtime by 30%, and a construction fleet manager observed, “The MS406 tyres have outperformed our previous options, with fewer punctures and noticeably longer service intervals.”
Built with a deep undertread—a layer of rubber beneath the tread that increases puncture resistance—the MS406 is better equipped to withstand harsh, rocky conditions and maintain longevity. The high-quality casing supports excellent retreadability, allowing the tyre to be renewed for further use, which extends its life and improves overall value. Its wide, flat footprint further enhances stability, ensuring consistent performance and reliability under heavy loads.
“With the addition of the 45/65R45 size, we’re continuing to respond directly to market needs while expanding access to a proven loader tyre,” said Jimmy McDonnell, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at MAXAM Tire North America. “Our focus is always on delivering market-leading value and tyres that perform in real-world conditions while helping customers control operating costs.”
For construction companies and operators working in challenging environments—such as rocky terrain or demanding job sites—the MS406 helps reduce downtime and maintenance costs. By delivering higher durability and stability, the tyre minimises interruptions for repairs and replacements, enabling teams to stay productive and efficient. The ongoing engagement between MAXAM Tire and industry leaders ensures the brand continues to provide high-performance solutions that meet real customer needs.
