Agricultural tyres, while often neglected, are a key part of your business equipment. Whether for working in the fields, transport by road or manoeuvres in the farm courtyard, their role is decisive in ensuring the smooth running of your operations. A puncture while working or a breakdown can rapidly transform your day into a nightmare: immobilisation of the tractor, loss of time and money or...

If you do multiple trips by tractor between field, farm and the cooperative, the reliability of your tyres is crucial. We tend to concentrate too often on tyre performance in the fields, yet it is just as important to look at how they handle on the road. Agricultural tyres face very specific types of strain during braking or cornering and their capacity to keep a good grip and maintain optimal...

Farm profitability can be boosted with a combination of small improvements at every level which, taken together, lead to real benefits. Among these improvements, the choice of rims for your agricultural machinery can lead to an increase in your profitability. The rim is the tyre’s essential ally. If you invest in high-tech tyres to improve traction, protect your soil or increase the load that...

Braking is a central element for the safety of your agricultural machines which travel by road, especially when you are at the wheel of a loaded tractor, pulling a full trailer or during harvesting. Whether you are in the middle of the countryside or coming up to an intersection, the braking capacity of your combination vehicle can make the difference between a completely safe stop and an...

You have chosen to apply good crop practices to protect yields on your land on a long-term basis, rather than resorting to intensive farming which depletes your soil. Sustainable farming takes greater account of all the aspects of your environment; earth, seeds, treatments, machines, fuel and tyres… When we talk of the environmental impact of agricultural tyres, we tend to think only of...

A perfect association between tyres and rims is crucial. You may have already invested in quality high-tech tyres to improve traction, soil preservation and your tractor’s load capacity. But have you considered the role that your rims could play in the equation? A premium rim could be the key to getting the most from the your tractor tyres. Low-cost rims, while functional, are often designed for...

Your soil is your main asset when it comes to obtaining good yields year after year. But maintaining this level of production requires special care, in particular by avoiding soil compaction during harvesting periods. Throughout the year you try to optimise tyre pressure when working on different agricultural campaigns. But when it comes to harvest time, you bring out the combine-harvesters that...

As the rim is the tyre’s vital ally, there is little point having a good tyre with a bad rim. Average rims are intended for average use, which is the heart of the problem. Looking for an average solution to be able to do everything; average pressure, average tyre, average rim, is quite the opposite of precision farming. If you have decided to opt for more high-tech wide tyres, you certainly have...

Your first thought is certainly that the tread is the main high-strain zone on your agricultural tyres because it is in direct contact with the ground, but this is not necessarily the case. In reality, the tread is certainly placed under a great deal of strain: traction, torque, wear, rubbing, heating, and must also be cut-resistant depending on the type of soil… but it’s also the most resistant...
