ATG showing 380 VF agri tyre at SIMA
The Alliance 380, shown here, is now available as a VF tyre
At its press conference at the SIMA agricultural show in Paris on Friday, ATG (Alliance Tire Group) will present, amongst other new additions for 2015, its new 380 VF very high flexion radial tyre. ATG says it decided to introduce VF technology into its 380 pattern as logistics are becoming ever more important in modern agriculture, and agricultural sector operators seek tyres suited to low soil compaction field work and on-road use.
This new 380 VF product will be launched in size 650/55R26.5. ATG reports that the tyre can either carry up to 40 per cent more load compared to its standard flotation variant with the same air pressure or carry the same load as a conventional 380 tyre with a 30 per cent lower inflation pressure. As a result, reduced ground pressure allows for markedly better soil conservation.
Alliance is also extending its IF and VF tyre range with a new size in Alliance 372 Agriflex (IF) design. The new size 710/70R42 addition is a key dimension for high HP tractors. The tyre is designed to carry 20 per cent more load with standard air pressure when compared to conventional radials or carry the same load with 20 per cent lower air pressure.
“Soil protection is an important objective – and that is true far beyond the year 2015 which has been proclaimed the “International Year of Soils” by the United Nations. That is why our engineers continuously work on even further improving our already leading range of flotation tyres,” emphasises Yogesh Mahansaria, founder and chief executive of Alliance Tire Group.
In addition to tyres for harvesters, tractors, sprayers and agri-transport vehicles, the ATG display at SIMA 2015 will also include the Galaxy brand’s range of garden and turf ‘specialists’. Thirteen different tyres will be on display including high-speed narrow radial tyres for sprayers and row crop tractors.
“With the launch of new and innovative products at SIMA 2015, ATG reinforces its commitment to provide its customers with the right product, for the right application with high quality and excellent service,” adds Angelo Noronha, ATG’s chief of sales and marketing for aftermarket in Europe.
