The 20.5R25 and 550/65R25 are available now for fitment on small wheel loaders and motor graders.

Engineered to thrive under extreme conditions, Maxam says the MS302 features a rugged E3/L3+ heavy-duty design for maximum traction in all off-road applications and delivers a high heat resistance. Designed with reinforced lugs to minimize vibration at haul speeds and provide the lowest cost-per-hour, the MS302 incorporates a durable cut and tear-resistant rubber compound that eliminates the constant threat of downtime due to tire damage, the company adds.

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."
