Mining vehicle tyres last longer with OKO

The OKO Mining Xtra Heavy Duty product being installed: it transforms tyre life on mining and construction sites.

Norilsk Nickel were looking for a tyre sealant that would stop punctures, make tyres last longer by slowing down the loss of air through the tread, and cool them down due to the liquid inside the tyre. It had to work in some of the worst conditions in Earth. The company tested OKO in its mining vehicles, with no interference or involvement from OKO or its distributor, and it passed every test. Norilsk then wrote a document authorising the use of OKO in any of the Group's vehicle tyres.
Based upon independent testing, users can expect 20% average tyre life extension from using OKO tyre sealant liquid, even if it does not have to seal any punctures - which it will do in the tread area. Thus the payback from tyre costs and the loss of downtime from stoppages is termendous.

If you have this much invested in tyres, you need OKO to keep your costs under control and keep your fleet in use.
