From June 16th to 20th, TNR technicians and service staff, together with our local dealer visited several mine sites in Mongolia to closely monitor and report on tire usage, meanwhile to provide technical training and service support to customers.
We supply over 80% of all the tire needs by these two mines, with the most popular sizes 14.00R25 for wide-body dump truck tires.
The performance of our tires are great. After 5-6 months of service, the pattern is evenly worn with RTD below 10mm. The tires are highly praised by the miners.
The sizes we supply here are 16.00R25, 27.00R49, and 35/65R33.
All three types of tires supplied on this mine site proved to be an ideal match for the site’s conditions compared to competitve other brands. On this mine site, our 27.00R49 tire operates for 18-20 hours per day and offers service life of 50,000km until the inspection time(RTD: around 20mm), showing its great durability performance.
Meanwhile, we also understand that there is room for further improvement on our tires, the total service life of Michelin brand XD MINEWORKS 27.00R49 is 800,000 to 100,000km. After achieving these useful information about the road condition and tire performance, our technician recommend the compound with lower TKPH to deliver better wear resistance to maximize the service life.
On this mine site, mainly bigger tires are used—- 24.00R35 and 27.00R49. For size 24.00R35, our tires’ service mileage can reach 80,000km, only some small defect on the tire bead’s appearance(which does not influence the service life), while, our technician has worked out the solution on this defect immediately after this visit, as we are always on the road to continuous improvement and perfection.
