Manufacturers jointly launch Agro Tyre Pressure app

Six well-known tyre manufacturers have teamed up to provide their customers with easier access to agricultural tyre pressure indications. Information from Apollo Tyres, Bridgestone, Continental, Michelin, Nokian Tyres and Trelleborg Wheel Systems is now available in a single app, Agro Tyre Pressure. Swiss firm Anura Associates developed the app for the tyre makers.

The app is currently available in English, French, German and Polish for Android and iOS. Introducing Agro Tyre Pressure, Continental shares that it combines each of the manufacturers’ databases to provide values such as pressure, load and speed tables.

“In agriculture, the variety of vehicles, applications and implements require regular and appropriate adaptation of tyre pressures to ensure their service life and other key performances like traction, fuel savings and soil protection,” Continental elaborates. “Usually, after identifying the axle loads and speed of use, the farmer should refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to define the right pressure. If the farmer has multiple brands of tyres on the fleet of agricultural vehicles, this gets even more complicated. The main challenge for the farmer: where to find all relevant information? The new smartphone application provides easy and quick access to correct tyre pressure data. By selecting load, speed, size and the tyre brand, this new app truly supports farmers and dealers in their daily work.”
