Which excavator tyres work best on gravel, rock, and mixed ground?

Choose excavator tyres with high puncture resistance and durable tread compounds for crushed rock and gravel. Mitas excavator tyres are designed for tough sites while still handling sand, loam, and road transfers when needed.

Non directional vs traction tread: which is better for excavators?

Non directional tread patterns support universal use and frequent maneuvering with stable road behavior. Traction focused patterns add bite and self-cleaning for mud and soft ground. Pick based on your main surface and slip risk.

Which Mitas excavator lines match common jobs?

EM 22 is a new generation tyre for modern excavators, while EM 23 focuses on higher puncture and wear resistance. NB 38 is a classic universal pattern with traction and self-cleaning, and NB 38 EXTRA ML adds a wider tread area for improved stability. EX 01 is designed for wheeled excavators.

How should I set pressure for excavator tyres?

Set cold pressure using the manufacturer load and speed tables for your working weight, then recheck with temperature and road runs. For charts and technical guidance, you can use our dedicated Tyre Pressure Calculator.

How do I reduce punctures and extend excavator tyre life?

Keep pressure correct, avoid overloads, and reduce sharp rock contact where possible. Inspect daily for cuts and embedded debris, keep tread clean for self-cleaning performance, and replace tyres when deep damage, bulges, or exposed cords appear.
