JK Tyre launched its all-new ‘Shresth Plus’ premium farm tyre. This new tyre further expands JK Tyre’s farm tyre portfolio and reinforces the company’s commitment to advancing innovation for modern agricultural applications in India.

“Indian agriculture is rapidly embracing mechanization and higher horsepower tractors”, says JK Tyre’s sales & marketing director Srinivasu Allaphan. “We are focused on bringing advanced, high-performance solutions to the farm segment. ‘Shresth Plus’ reflects this direction, combining superior traction, durability, and stability to meet the evolving needs of modern farming. The product will help farmers and fleet operators achieve better efficiency, reliability, and consistent performance across varied agricultural applications.”

‘Shresth Plus’ has been developed for the evolving realities of modern farming, where higher horsepower tractors, longer working hours, and varied soil conditions demand tyres that deliver consistent performance. With high “Non-Skid Depth (NSD)”, broader lug design, and optimized land distribution, the tyre offers better traction, longer mileage, and improved roadability, according to the company. Its angular step lug pattern and tie bar between lugs enhance stability and reduce tread movement in tough field conditions, while the “Eagle Eye” design, strong nylon body, and improved buttress ensure better protection, higher load-carrying capacity, and greater resistance to sidewall damage across both field and on-road use.
