The tread pattern angle varies from about 23° to 45°.
🟢 A closer angle (23°) provides greater traction on dry and hard ground.
🟢 A more open angle (45°) improves self-cleaning and riding comfort, making the tire suitable for wet or mixed terrain.

R-1 tires are designed for dry conditions and mostly field use.
The R-1Ws, on the other hand, have a deeper tread (approx. +20%) and more widely spaced lugs: this improves traction on compacted ground and increases durability even when traveling on the road.

As tractors are becoming more and more powerful and implements heavier and heavier, tires providing traction, stability, and comfort are needed.
Nowadays, a radial design with a continuous 45° tread pattern is one of the most popular solutions, since it offers balanced performance both in the fields and on the road.
