The spotlight was on the JK Tyre 18.00?25 40PR Port Champion Plus, a Next-Gen Port Tyre specifically designed for Reach Stackers in container handling. This tyre boasts excellent durability, mileage, and steering ability, thanks to its deep tread and precise pattern with heavy rubber in the centre.
