TheAgro-Forest “Seventy” series in size 480/70-28 has been developed to meet therequirements of modern agricultural tractors working in forests and fields. TheF-370 tyre enables this combined work without any changes in inflationpressure. The tyre’s structure, says Alliance, enables flotation on the field,high traction and low soil compaction. At the same time, the tread compound,combined with strong steel breakers, provides effective puncture resistance,enabling safe and efficient work in the forest.
New in theagro-industrial sector is the R-4 radial, pattern 580. This 500/70R 24 (19.5LR24) size tyre is based upon an optimisation of the company’s existing 570 seriesproduct. According to Alliance, the new tyre’s 580 tread pattern enables stronggrip and high traction performances on soft surfaces, as well as efficient andcomfortable operation on hard surfaces. A polyester/steel carcass constructionincreases vehicle stability, especially when working on sloping terrains, andalso protects against punctures. Alliance states that the tyre competes againstthe Michelin XMCL, Goodyear IT 520, Dunlop SP19 and Continental AC 70 G series,its main application being compact earthmover equipment, small loaders,telescopic loaders and backhoe loaders.
