thanks to its low vibration level,
high stability and good soil traction.
It meets the needs of the tough
working conditions required by
todays quarrying and construction
industries.
VTS
L3
This new generation of tyre offers
an exceptional stability with its
wider contact surface, a superior
driving comfort, an optimum
traction and selfcleaning.
VSNT
