Meeting the needs of the latest generation of forwarders

Nokian Tyres is setting new standards in the CTL segment with a new size for the Forest King F2.

The new tyre size for the Forest King F2 tyre family meets the increasing demands of Cut to Length (CTL) forestry machines, particularly the larger, more powerful forwarders and harvesters now being deployed in the industry. Featuring a protective tread design with strong shoulders, it provides excellent functionality on tracks and chains, with a strong diagonal structure and steel fortification ensuring excellent puncture protection.

The introduction of the new 30.5” tyre size is an important advancement for the forestry industry. As the demand for more productive equipment grows, Nokian Tyres is at the forefront of innovation, providing solutions that meet the evolving needs of the market. The larger air volume of the new Forest King F2 tyre size enables a step forward in load capacity, while the increased wheel diameter improves tyre-wheel contact area, resulting in increased tolerance against rim slip. The design of the tyre, with its strong shoulders and protective tread, ensures excellent performance with tracks in terms of grip and support to track paws.

To fully utilize the performance upgrade available with the new tyre, Nokian Tyres makes it available as a complete wheel with a matching heavy-duty wheel (size AG26.00x30.5”) and inner tube (size 780/55-30.5”). Working as a perfect match, the complete wheel complements the tyre properties for the best possible forestry performance.

The new 30.5” size for the Nokian Tyres Forest King F2 tyre is available now, allowing forestry professionals to immediately benefit from its enhanced performance and capabilities. Nokian Tyres Forest King F2 in size 30.5” makes its first appearance at FinnMetko trade fair held in Jämsä, Finland. Source
