KIRKBY TYRES OFFERS THEIR WIDEST RANGE OF TURF TYRES AT SALTEX

Kirkby Tyres Ltd, from Speke, Liverpool will be showing a comprehensive display of Alliance and BKT tyres at Saltex 2011 (Stand No. R 27 A). The  combined ranges of tyres and wheels for the turf and amenity markets makes Kirkby Tyres one of the largest suppliers of specialist tyres to the industry and one of the most competitive in the marketplace.

Kirkby Tyres have been the sole UK & Ireland agents for the extensive range of Alliance tyres for many years and have a proven record of performance and reliability in the amenity, agricultural and earthmover markets. A wide representative sample of amenity and turf tyres from Alliance will be exhibited at Saltex including the  new 381 Flotmaster - a steel belted radial developed to serve the needs of specific niche applications on sensitive surfaces which require optimised soil and plant protection. The 381 has a unique rib pattern with more aggressive lugs on the shoulder maximising the tyre footprint with the lowest ground pressure possible. With a low rolling resistance, the 381 is designed for use with trailers, spreaders, soil preparation and cultivation equipment.  The popular Alliance 380 and  390  hi-speed steel belted radial flotation tyres, for on and off road use, combine the best of a flotation tyre with the best of radial construction characteristics will also be on show including two new sizes 620/75R26 for turf applications and 560/60R22.5 for trailers. The  A390 has  a  block pattern with a   flat  profile especially  suited to turf and  road use.

  Also on show will be the A328 tubeless flotation tyre with good self cleaning characteristics suitable for on and off the road use for  trailers, tractors,  and large implements.  The A328 has a high load capacity at  low inflation pressures preventing damage to turf and crops.
Also from Alliance is the Farm PRO series – initially eight new radial tyres with new modern patterns. The Farm PRO  traction tyre has a multi–angle lug with a steep central angle for a smooth ride, long wear and mud clearing properties and a shallow angle at the shoulder for exceptional traction and hillside stability.  The Farm PRO Imp   high flotation tyre has a strong Bias ply with a new pattern, central rib and shoulder lug design. It has excellent self  cleaning properties, good sideways stability and offers a comfortable ride. Because of  its low  soil compaction characteristics  and low rolling resistance it can also be used safely on tender grassland.    

The latest tyre to be introduced by Alliance is the 885 – a budget priced, all fabric, flotation radial tyre for light duty applications. With a strong nylon and polyester casing the 388 has a directional tread pattern, rounded shoulders and robust lugs – giving good grip and self cleaning characteristics.
BKT is one of the premier manufacturers of ‘Off Highway’ tyres, offering a wide range which covers turf care, ATV, agricultural, industrial and  earthmover applications. A wide selection of BKT tyres for ATV’s and turf care can be seen on the Kirkby stand  - the  W207, AT108, AT109 and AT112 patterned tyres are for tough ‘all terrain’ use and have 2, 4 or 6 ply rating nylon casing for increased puncture resistance. They have a  proven deep tread design and the natural rubber compound increases puncture resistance and extends tread life. All BKT tyres have a low rolling resistance and give  enhanced ride and handling characteristics. BKT tyres are available in all the popular sizes

BKT can supply  ‘Armaturf’ tyres with “ARAMID”  belts which are puncture resistant. Armaturf tyres allow a flatter tyre tread with a wider tread contact area giving a long life and reduced turf damage.

Kirkby Tyres also offer a full range of tyres, wheels and wheel assemblies for any fitment in the truck, rowcrop, trailer, wide-flotation, hi-speed, low ground  pressure, agricultural, amenity, earthmover and industrial markets.  All wheels can be  supplied   to customer specification, in the colour of your choice and can be manufactured in small batch runs or in high volumes.
GKN one of the World’s leading manufacturers of off highway and agricultural wheels has chosen Kirkby Tyres as one of their UK partners for the O/E and replacement market in the UK and Ireland. Their product spectrum ranges from 12 – 16 inches. GKN is well known as a supplier to major OEM’s including JCB and many other market leading trailer and implement manufacturers worldwide.
