MAHINDRA 8560 TIRES
The Mahindra 8560 offers versatility with various tire configurations tailored to enhance traction and stability in different applications, such as agriculture or industrial use. The 2WD setup is lighter and more fuel-efficient but may struggle on uneven terrain compared to the 4WD variants, which provide improved grip and handling. For those requiring multifunctionality, the industrial tire options are beneficial for loading and material handling operations, though they compromise some agricultural performance.
