Michelin launches agri tyre pressure calculator

Michelin has launched an optimum tyre pressure calculator for tractors, harvesters, sprayers and trailers, which is available at www.michelin-agricultural-tyres.co.uk. Michelin reports that it has developed the tool to help farm machinery operators get the maximum performance out of their tyres.

Mike Lawton, commercial director of Michelin’s Agricultural tyre division in the UK and Ireland, says: “Everywhere in Europe, farm machines must be adaptable. Throughout the crop cycle, they have to operate with different attachments and trailers under weights and conditions of use that differ considerably from one season to another. It is little wonder, therefore, that tyre pressures can vary significantly depending on the type of use or configuration.”
