A new tractor tyre has been launched by CEAT Kelani Holdings in time for the harvest phase of the Maha cultivation season.

The new tyre is compatible with popular tractor brands, making it a versatile choice for diverse agricultural needs. Featuring a higher non-skid depth (NSD)in its tread, the new tyre is designed for incomparable performance during puddling operations. Its wide and angular lugs provide exceptional traction in muddy or wet conditions, while a higher lug overlap and tie bar contribute to improved stability during operation.Deep and open shoulders allow for better self-cleaning, ensuring consistent performance, and reinforced carcass construction delivers a longer service life, maximising value for users.
This is the sixth tractor tyre variant developed and manufactured in Sri Lanka by CEAT Kelani Holdings.
The largest domestic manufacturer of cross-ply and radial tyres in Sri Lanka, CEAT’s emergence as the top brand in the country’s tyre sector is the result of substantial investments over several years that have seen not just exponential increases in volumes but expansion of the product range, the deployment of new technology and quantum improvements in quality.
The company’s manufacturing operations encompass pneumatic tyres in the radial (passenger cars, vans and SUVs), commercial (Bias-ply and radial), motorcycle, three-wheeler and agricultural vehicle segments.
