New sizes extend tyre ranges

The 882 range of Alliance tyres from Yokohama Off-Highway Tires has been extended by three new sizes while two new sizes have been added to the 885 range.Both ranges are steel-belted flotation tires for spreaders, trailers, balers and fertiliser spreaders. They have a large footprint and rounded shoulders to protect crops and soil and are designed and built for high loads at high speeds. A 10-year warranty is standard.New for the 882 range are sizes 710/35R22.5, 600/60R30,5 and 710/50R30.5 while 850/50R30.5 and 710/40R22.5 sizes have been added to the 885 range.Both ranges have a “D” speed rating (65 km/h) and a large footprint. This is said to give stability and a high load-carrying capacity during road transport for the 882 tyres while for then 885 tyres it should lead to less soil damage.The directional tread design helps give good traction while thelarge, central lugs improve handling characteristics and reduce rolling resistance on the road.For more up-to-date farming news click here and subscribe now to profi for just £3.99 an issue. by jonathantheobald More From This Author
