CEAT Specialty is introducing a VF version of its Torquemax Ag radial range.

The company says the VF technology provides 40% higher load-carrying capacity than a standard radial. Alternately, the tires can carry the same load at 40% lesser pressure, CEAT says.

“The Torquemax range has been developed to complement the growing performance requirements of the latest high-power tractors – both on roads and in fields,” said Vijay Gambhire, chief executive of CEAT Specialty. “The new product line is a testament to our growing technical prowess, and we are especially excited to be offering VF technology to our North American customers.”

CEAT says key elements of the Torquemax design include:

• Stepped lug design to provide superior grip
• Wider tread width for lower soil compaction
• Longer and wider lugs that provide higher contact area
• Tilted lug tips for lower vibration at higher speed.
