Alliance 390 radial flotation tires were fitted to a German team’s 11-metric-ton Mercedes truck that recently reached the world’s highest volcano: Ojos del Salados in the Chilean Andes, some 21,899 feet above sea level.
The world record climb included an expedition facing a wide variety of conditions, from rock to snow and ice, according to Alliance Tire Group, which added its Alliance 390 flotation radial tire was developed to excel both on the field and on the road, and is widely used around the world for heavy ag machinery, as well as for trucks carrying crops from harvest sites to distant storage or processing facilities.
ATG and Germany-based Bohnenkamp, a European marketer and wholesaler of agricultural tires, sponsored driver Martin Jeschke and his Extreme Events Team from Limburg, Germany, in their quest for the world record. ATG and Bohnenkamp supplied 560/60R22.5 Alliance 390 flotation radials to the team, which set the record last December.
