Tractor Tyres and Farm Trailer Tyres

Tractor Tyres

Tractor Tyres are responsible for transmitting the power of a vehicle to the field. Tyres that are not properly optimised can result in higher fuel expenses.

Types of Tyres

High Pressure
In years gone by, high pressure tyres were used for both cars and trucks. Nowadays, they are only used for trucks. High pressure tyres cannot absorb road shock, deeming low pressure tyres as the more comfortable alternative for cars.

Extra Low Pressure Tyres
Often referred to as balloon tyres, extra low pressure tyres demonstrate a wider finished product. Commonly used in sandy or wet environments, they are ideally suited to racing cars.

Tyre Tread types
There are five main tyre tread designs: R1, R1W, R2, R3 and R4.

R3 and R4

• Typically known as ‘turf' and ‘industrial' tyres
• R3 tyres have a very non-aggressive pattern
• R4 is usually used for industrial and construction applications
• R3 is a good choice for golf courses

R1, R1W and R2

• Known as ‘agricultural' tyres
• Provide the best traction for field conditions
• R2 tyres are used for field work in wet conditions 
• R1 tyres are best for some soil types
• R1W tyres are suitable in wet and sticky soil conditions

Basic Functions of Tractor Tyres

• Carry the load of agricultural machines
• Easily absorb shock
• Decrease the vibrations when driving
• Easy grip on the soil because of the tread
