Aeolus is further expanding its range of OTR tyres
Aeolus has recently introduced a number of new OTR tyres. Aeolus will also come up with a number of new product releases in the last quarter of this year and the first quarter of 2025. This concerns tyres for wheel loaders, dump trucks as well as for mobile excavators and MPT tyres, which will of course also be available via Heuver Tyres.
Tyres for wheel loaders
Aeolus AL35 (L3T)
In Q2 of 2024, Aeolus introduced the AL35 in size 23.5R25. This L3 tyre with a new and deeper pattern design replaces the current AL36 and AL37. The AL35 is ideal for smooth and flat surfaces, such as asphalt and concrete, reduces the number of vibrations and offers extra traction thanks to the extra tread depth. The AL35 will soon also be available in sizes 20.5R25 and 26.5R25.
Aeolus AL419 (L4T)
Aeolus also launched a completely new L4 tyre for 'load & carry' applications in Q2 of 2024 (first in 26.5R25 and 29.5R25); the AL419. This tyre is comparable in pattern to the Bridgestone VSNT and Michelin XLD D1A. The 150% deep pattern offers enormous traction and comfort. In addition to the sizes 23.5R25 (following in Q4 of 2024), 26.5R25 and 29.5R25, the AL419 will also be marketed in 20.5R25 from Q4/2024, which is quite unique, as this type of tyre is hardly available in this size at other tyre manufacturers.
Aeolus AL519 (L5T)
The new AL519 will replace the current AL59 (non-directional pattern) and AL58 (directional pattern). The updated pattern is the same as that of the new AL419, only in the variant with the extra deep L5 pattern (250%). The improved block design keeps vibrations to a minimum. In addition, the AL519 gets a fender on the sidewall of the tyre; something that the AL58 and AL59 did not have so far. Aeolus will offer the AL519 in sizes 20.5R25, 23.5R25, 26.5R25, 29.5R25 and 35/65R33. The forecast is that the first tyres will roll out of the factory from Q1/2025.
Aeolus AS50 (L5S)
The Aeolus AS50 has been part of the wheel loader tyre range for many years, which can be used for the most demanding conditions. Thanks to the slick tread design, this tyre is ideal for applications such as glass recycling and underground mining. The AS50 has always been available in sizes 17.5R25, 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25. Recently, the size 20.5R25 was added with a *3 star casing, which can withstand the heaviest loads. The AS50 will also soon be launched on the market in 26.5R25 with a *3 star casing.
Aeolus AL513 (L5R)
The AL513 is a completely new design and will be the successor to the current AL53. The AL513 - initially only for sizes 20.5R25 and 23.5R25 - has an extra strong *3 star casing, which ensures a higher load capacity so that it can continue to function well on increasingly powerful machines. Because the AL513 will be available as a 15.5R25 variant, Aeolus captures a real niche market, as there are only few other suppliers of this. In addition, the AL513 will also be marketed as a 20.5R25 and 23.5R25 version and it is likely that sizes such as 17.5R25, 26.5R25, 29.5R25 and 35/65R33 will eventually follow.
Tyres for articulated and rigid dump trucks
Aeolus AE415 (E4R)
The 24.00R35 Aeolus AE415 has been available since the end of last year. This tyre for rigid dumpers has a closed pattern and is therefore suitable for extreme applications where the risk of collisions is high. During various tests, this tyre has shown excellent results compared to comparable tyres from other manufacturers. Currently available as a variant with a *2 star casing, Aeolus will soon also come with a *3 star casing version.
Aeolus AE417 (E4T)
The new AE417 replaces the existing AE47. This tyre is suitable for articulated dumpers and, compared to its predecessor, the size range has been expanded with the larger sizes. The AE417 is not only available in 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25, but also as 875/65R29 and 33.25R29. The pattern is similar to the Bridgestone VLTS. In size 875/65R29, the AE417 is already mounted on the Develon/Hyundai DA45-7 / HA45-7 in the original equipment market (OEM). Because this is officially an E4/L4 tyre, the AE417 can - in addition to dumpers - also be mounted on wheel loaders; a trend that we are increasingly seeing within the OTR tyre segment.
Aeolus AE419 (E4T)
The new AEOLUS AE419 for rigid dumpers is the replacement for the AE45 and AE46. Compared to its predecessors, the AE419 has more tread depth, which provides improved traction. This tyre has also shown good results in initial tests and is already available in size 24.00R35 with a *2 star casing. The AE419 will also be launched on the market with an extra strong *3 star casing in sizes 24.00R35 and 27.00R49.
Tyres for mobile excavators & MPT tyres
Aeolus AX-1 EXCAVATOR
Already in 2022, Aeolus successfully introduced the AX-1 EXCAVATOR for mobile excavators. The AX-1 EXCAVATOR is available as 315/70R22.5 for dual mounting, without the use of spacers and with a reinforced sidewall for extra protection against impacts. In combination with its open pattern, this tyre offers a lot of traction and stability.
Aeolus AX-2 EXCAVATOR
At the beginning of 2025, Aeolus will also launch the AX-2 EXCAVATOR on the market to supplement its range of tyres for mobile excavators. Just like the AX-1 EXCAVATOR, this tyre will be offered in size 315/70R22.5 and is suitable for dual mounting, without the use of spacers and with a reinforced sidewall. Thanks to its robust pattern, the AX-2 EXCAVATOR offers a high degree of traction and extra protection against impacts and is therefore extremely suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Aeolus AEX-5 EXCAVATOR
In Q4 of 2024, Aeolus will launch the new AEX-5 EXCAVATOR in size 290/90-20 for the European market, after having first extensively tested this tyre in its factory. This is a new cross-ply tyre for dual mounting, without the use of spacers. The cross-ply casing construction of the tyre gives the machine even more stability during work. In addition, it will become a real counterpart to the tyres that are already offered by competing brands in 290/90-20.
Aeolus AMP213
As a renowned manufacturer of Off-Highway Tyres (OHT), MPT tyres should not be missing from the Aeolus range. That is why it is launching a completely new line of tyres for small compact wheel loaders in the form of the AMP213. The AMP213 has an open block pattern, which provides a lot of traction and at the same time has good self-cleaning ability. The AMP213 will initially be available as a 405/70R18 and a 405/70R20 version. In the long term, the range will be supplemented with the sizes 335/80R18, 335/80R20, 365/70R18 and 365/80R20.
