GRI has launched the Gripex LT122, designed for heavy-duty loader applications.

The company says its sturdy and robust nylon casing provides impact and shock resistance and the tread compound helps resist against wear and cuts. GRI says the inter-lug design of the Gripex LT122 is unique, adding the tire has great puncture resistance and durability for less downtime in operations.

The Gripex LT122 is currently available in size 14.9-24, with more sizes to be released soon. The Gripex LT100 in size 12.5/80-18 and Gripex LT300 in size 9.00-16 are also available in this tire range for loader applications.

Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America has released a new design for irrigation tires with a Y-shaped center block for the Alliance 778 irrigation tire. The overlapping Y shapes in the centerline of the zero-degree lug pattern improve both traction and durability compared to traditional lug patterns, Yokohama Off-Highway said.

"You are guaranteed to be operating in wet conditions with an irrigation tire, so you absolutely need great traction," said James Crouch, Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America national segment manager—agriculture and forestry. "But you also want to minimize rutting and make sure every tire on every tower keeps itself clean, no matter which direction the tire is operating in. We completely redesigned the Alliance 778 irrigation tire to meet the very specific needs of farmers under irrigation."
