The latest novelty by BKT is an agro-industrial tire for trailers in construction and farming transport applications. It specifically withstands tough conditions.


Within a company’s fleet, trailers play an essential role. Their task is to carry heavy loads on different terrains on, or off the road. Definitely not to be considered “second-rate” compared to a tractor, since a great deal of productivity depends on the trailer. Choosing the specific tires to fit trailers in a way that enhances the latter’s performance increasing production efficiency is hence a crucial factor.  The new BKT FL 695 has been designed for trailers employed in the toughest transport applications.

The new tire  is an agro-industrial product specifically designed for trailers in construction and farming transport applications. This radial tire is resistant and durable thanks to a strong casing with multi-ply steel layers providing protection against punctures. In addition, it is made of a special compound that contributes to increased cut resistance.

The FL 695 can be distinguished by its tread design with an exclusive center-block pattern that stands for stability and resistance in all conditions even with heavy loads. Besides, its deep tread ensures optimal self-cleaning during on-and-off-the-road usage in addition to a long product life-cycle.

All these features make the FL 695 an ally for tough transport operations. Currently the tire is available in size 650/55 R 26.5.
