At the recent Farm Progress Show, Case IH displayed its high-power Case Magnum 315 tractor featuring Mitas AC tires.
The size 480/80R50 and 380/80R38 Mitas AC tires will be produced at the new Mitas Tires North America Inc. plant currently under construction in Charles City, Iowa.
“Mitas ACs are radial tires based on the existing proven AC 85 series,” said Neil Rayson, president of Mitas North America. “As was the case with Continental AC 85, Mitas AC 85 will become the primary tire intended for the North American market.”
Currently, Mitas is approaching OEMs and tire dealers to explain the brand strategy and to convert them to Mitas AC.
