Companies introduce tires for agriculture

<p><strong>NEW TURF TIRES: </strong>Carlisle Brand Tires released three new sizes for its Versa Turf line. These radial tires have improved flotation for better traction with minimum turf disruption. The new 24x12.00R12 size will fit many popular zero-turn mowers. For compact tractors, buyers will find the 23x.50R12 and 12R16.5 sizes. The tires feature&nbsp;a directional tread pattern and engineer breaker bars for improved self-cleaning performance. The tire has a 60% deeper tread depth than standard R3 tire designs. Versa Turf tires are available in sizes ranging from 18.7 to 32.6 inches in diameter.

<p><strong>SPECIALTY TIRE LAUNCHED:</strong> Michelin is rolling out (pun intended) the new Trailxbib tire designed for spreaders, trailers and slurry wagons. Co-developed with farmers from several continents, the tire is air-system ready and designed with Michelin VF Ultraflex technology to help reduce soil compaction. The tire has a low-pressure impact in fields and is puncture and aggression resistant. The lug design also provides for improved self-cleaning, and the center rib provides improved road handling.

<p><strong>NEW COMPACT TRACTOR TIRE:</strong> The Galaxy Garden Pro XTD line is designed with extra tread depth, which is a key benefit of the new tire line extension from Alliance Tire Group. These radial turf tires have a bigger footprint, improved traction and more flotation. The company has refined the block tread pattern to provide the best aspects of&nbsp;lug-style R1 and R4 designs with the block design of R-3 tires. And they have a special, high-density compound for greater durability. They're available in a wide range of sizes for compact tractor use.

<p><strong>TOUGH FARM TIRES FOR FIELD, ROAD:</strong> Nokian Heavy Tyres Ltd. Introduces the Ground King tires series for agriculture. Six sizes are available now, with more sizes coming soon. Cory Trombley with the company says these tires are designed to deliver the best of both worlds — top, all-terrain performance in the field, yet long-lasting efficiency on the road. They feature an exclusive Hybri-lug design for good ground traction. Listen to Trombley describe the tire on the Farm Progress Virtual Experience at <a href="http://FPVExp.com" target="_blank">FPVExp.com</a><em>, </em>"trade show," exhibitor list, Nokian.

<p><strong>NEW TIRE, NEW WARRANTY FOR TIRES ON SCRAPERS:</strong> If you pull a soil scraper or operate a high-horsepower tractor on arid soils, check out this new tire. The Goodyear Optitorque LSW800/55R46 size expands the existing Optitorque R- line, notes Scott Sloan, ag products manager for Titan and Goodyear Farm Tires. He says it’s ideal for scrapers and is an option for flotation sprayers. It features Low Sidewall technology, which reduces soil compaction and dampens power hop.&nbsp; Titan also expanded the warranty for the Optitorque R1 line to include use on scrapers.

<p><strong>SUPER SINGLE LSWS ON BIG JOHN DEERE TRACTORS: </strong>You can now get Titan’s Low Sidewall technology straight from the factory for John Deere 2021 model 8R 340, 370 and 410 mechanical-front-wheel drive tractors equipped with Independent Link suspension. Scott Sloan, ag products manager for Titan and Goodyear Farm Tires says Goodyear Optitrac LSW 1000/40R32 front tires and LSW1100/45R46 rears make a great combination and have already been used in the aftermarket for years. If you’re not running your tractor between the rows after crops are up, Sloan says Super Singles help reduce soil compaction.

<p><strong>NONDIRECTIONAL IRRIGATION TIRE:</strong> You can run lower inflation pressure, get more flotation and less rutting with the new Hi-Dration lug irrigation tire from Titan. Mark Rankin with Titan says it’s the first radial nondirectional irrigation tire on the market. Radial construction allows for lower tire pressure, he notes. T &amp; L Irrigation immediately began offering this tire on nearly all its pivot and linear irrigation systems and became the first OEM to offer the Hi-Duration lug tire. Both companies worked together during development of the tire. Visit <a href="http://titan-intl.com" target="_blank">titan-intl.com</a><em>. </em>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
