Here, a monstrous haulage truck tire is on display, near the Copper Mine's visitor center


The Bingham Canyon Mine, or Kennecott Copper Mine, is one of the worlds largest copper mines, and the second highest copper producer in the USA. At 2 and 3/4 miles across and 3/4 miles deep, it is enormous and impressive, producing hundreds of millions of tons of copper yearly, as well as substantial amounts of other products such as gold and silver. No other single private sector operation has generated more production, exports, income, and employment for as many years in Utah. Here, a monstrous haulage truck tire is on display, near the Copper Mine's visitor center, along with a copper plaque engraved with very amazing and impressive facts of these remarkable very heavy duty tires.
