Meeting the demands of large wheel loaders in mining environments.

DANVERS, MA – Maxam Tire, a global leader in specialty tire manufacturing, is expanding its MS501 MineXtra lineup with the introduction of the new 50/65R51 size. Designed for large wheel loaders operating in demanding mining environments, the new addition extends the MS501 family to support customers requiring exceptional durability in severe L5 applications.

Engineered for the industry’s toughest operating conditions, the MS501 features an extra-deep open L5 tread design with staggered tread blocks that deliver outstanding wear life, traction and damage resistance. A reinforced bead, shoulder and sidewall package, combined with Maxam’s cut and tear resistant compound, helps reduce downtime while providing the stability and durability operators demand in high-impact loading applications. These design characteristics make the tire well suited for surface mining, hard rock quarries and other severe-service operations where maximizing productivity is critical.

“The addition of the 50/65R51 further strengthens the MS501 product line and our dedication to supporting customers across an even broader range of mining and quarry applications,” said Matt Fagan, Director of R&D at Maxam Tire North America. “As equipment continues to grow in size and productivity demands increase, we’re focused on delivering tire solutions that help operators maximize uptime, reduce operating costs and get the most from their equipment.”
