AgriBrink introduces an auto-inflation system

Aftermarket system allows for auto tire inflation from the cab

That big, new aircart that recently arrived on the farm has the widest available radial tires on it, so there’s no need to think about soil compaction, right? Wrong. Choosing the right rubber is only the first step in ensuring equipment does the least possible damage to soil. “Big tires are great, but they’re useless […] Read more

Michelin’s new EvoBIB “transforming tire (front) has gaps in the tread bars that allow the sidealls to “hinge” down and increase the width of its footprint at low inflation pressures.

Michelin EvoBIB is a “two-in-one” tire

New radial offers two effective footprint widths based on air pressure

We call this the transforming tire,” said Michelin Tire’s Mike Pantaleo, as he stood beside his company’s display of new tire technology during the Ag in Motion farm show near Saskatoon in July. “It’s a brand new tire and it’s brand new technology.

These new low sidewall tires have 1.4 metre tread width

Radial tire technology has greatly reduced the amount of soil compaction that happens underneath today’s large farm equipment. Building on those refinements, Titan Tire intends to offer producers another tire choice that offers more than reduced compaction, the LSW 1400/30R46. These tires offer advantages in other aspects of field and road performance as well. Aside […] Read more

Michelin’s Ultraflex ag tires

The brand showed off the benefits of its IF and VF radials during an event in France

Today’s ag tires may not be able to exactly match the reduced levels of compaction and floatation tracks offer, but Increased Flexion (IF) and Very High Flexion (VF) radial tires have narrowed the performance gap between tracks and tires considerably. IF tires are capable at operating at up to 20 per cent reduced air pressures […] Read more
