Goodyear Offers Agri Benefits at Cereals

The Goodyear Farm team is publicising its presence at the annual Cereals show in Royston on 9 and 10 June. According to the company, the team will be highlighting the Optitrac range on its stand, while educating visitors on tyre technology and maintenance.

Goodyear representatives say the new DT818 High Speed (HS) will be at the forefront of the stand. The DT818HS is part of the Optitrac radial drive farm tyre range which comes in 13 popular sizes. High Speed means that the tyres are D speed rated and can operate at speeds up to 44mph (70kph) or at inflation pressures as low as 9psi. At lower operating speeds and for tractors that have a top speed of 25mph (45kph) or 30mph (50kph) these tyres reportedly provide performance advantages being able to carry up to 9.5 per cent more load at same inflation versus the conventional DT818 tyre. Furthermore, DT818 HS can carry the same loads as DT818 at lower inflation pressure thereby, elongating the footprint generating more traction and pull.

However, the Goodyear Farm also announced that they will be promoting a number of other “benefits.” The leading tyre manufacturer will also be looking to sign up farmers to their popular AGRI Club. The club offers members regular e-mail and postal newsletters as well as tyre offers and opportunities to join the Goodyear team at farming shows across the country. This month AGRI Club members have received a £150 voucher off the cost of a set of four DT818HS tyres – representative of the kind of benefit available to AGRI Club members.

Phil Stanton, Goodyear Farm Manager said: “It is always a pleasure to be present at the Cereals show. We hope to sign up more members to our already 350 strong AGRI Club. Not only will new registrations make themselves available to offers such as the £150 voucher off a set of four DT818HS tyres they will also be entered into a draw to win £2000 worth of Optitrac radial farm tyres which will be drawn at the British Ploughing Championships later this year.”
