Belshina Continues Tyre Line-Up Modernisation

Belarusian tyre manufacturer, Belshina, is in the process of modernising its truck tyre line-up. According to company reports, there are three new patterns of tubeless, all-steel radial truck tyres out on the market that have been manufactured with new tyre building machines supplied by Matador Machinery.

Belshina produces over 180 tyre sizes for cars, trucks, mining trucks, road-building machines, electrical vehicles, tractors and farm machines and over 90 per cent of its tyres are radial.
