Problem
Tires that Cost $7M Shouldn't Wear Out
Today's mining tires frequently overheat and explode. In addition to risking lives, it costs mining companies $7M over the lifetime of a single truck1.
Pollution
78% of the ocean’s plastic consists of particles from rubber tires2
Accidents
You're 11x more likely to die in the tire bay than anywhere else on the mining site.
Uneconomical
One 13,000 off-the-road (OTR) mining tire can cost over $75,000 and need to be replaced every 6 to 9 months3
SOLUTION
Wheels that Last the Lifetime of the Vehicle
Our unique Air Suspension Wheel (ASW) technology succeeds where others have failed, thanks to nitrogen-filled cylinders that connect the outer steel drum with the inner hub.

1 75,000 (per tire) * 6 tires per truck * 1.5 changes /year * 15 year life of the vehicle = USD 10mm per vehicle (+rim cost). The US$ 7mm is a very reasonable and conservative average of cost that any mine site would accept.
