A single tire failure on a haul truck can cost thousands of dollars in downtime, lost output, and emergency repairs. That’s why mining companies worldwide are turning to premium industrial tires designed specifically for extreme loads, abrasive terrains, and high heat.

At GTT, we understand that every hour counts. Our mining tires feature extra-deep treads, reinforced sidewalls, and advanced heat-resistant compounds that perform even under continuous operation. With tires you can trust, your fleet doesn’t just keep moving—it keeps producing.

For mining, tire quality is not just about rubber. It’s about safety, efficiency, and protecting your bottom line.
