Deflection refers to the tireโs ability to flex under load and torque, and it can be observed as a sidewall bulge near the tireโs base. In particular, especially when it comes to radial tires, some deflection is essential to ensure good contact with the ground,...
How does reducing air pressure for field application impact footprint? a. It grows footprint primarily longer, slightly wider. i. Show Road Pressure vs Field Pressure Footprints It is important to use the correct air pressure to support the weight of the equipment in...
Ever wondered what those little pieces of rubber coming from the sidewall or tread of the tire are? Many people call them โtire whiskers.โ The technical term for them is "vent spews," a byproduct of the tire manufacturing process. Vent holes in the tire molds create...
When optimized on your Ag tires, traction and flotation bring out the best in your tractors, sprayers, and harvesters. Here's three key optimization tips to minimize soil compaction and boost performance: Check tire pressure - depending on load and field conditions,...
