As seen on video: Jumbo 63-inch OTR tires declared a huge on-the-job success

Titan Tire Corp. says its new 63-inch off-the-road (OTR) mining tire and wheel assemblies are continuing to perform well for customers. The company’s first shipment of “Big Daddy” tires are being used in mining applications in Canada’s oil sands.

Video footage of the tires running on a Caterpillar 797B haul truck with a 400-ton load is available at www.titantire.com under the “videos and photos” menu, or on YouTube at www.youtube.com/TheGrizzzly.

“Titan’s 63-inch giant tires continue to run with success,” says Chairman and CEO Maurice M. Taylor Jr. “These tires have surpassed each standard we’ve set for them, and we expect only the best from our products. Our OTR tires, with our new patent pending design and manufacturing technology, run cooler and stronger,” he adds.

“We continue to increase production every day on these Big Daddy 63-inch tires and plan to roll out 57-inch OTR tires this year. As the video taken in the oils sands shows, even with a load over 400 tons, the tires run great. The rumors of failed tires and performance that have been circulating are false,” Taylor notes.
