Apollo Tyres has bolstered its Vredestein agricultural tyre range with a further six sizes of the Traxion Optimall VF. The new additions focus on bringing the tyre to powerful tractors of 160hp and above. The Traxion Optimall series boasts good self-cleaning properties, grip, comfort and a long tyre life, the manufacturer states. The six new sizes are: VF750/70R44, VF900/50R42, VF650/65R38, VF650/60R38, VF710/55R30 and VF540/65R28.

The Vredestein tractor tyre range now targets the premium tractor segment (300-420 hp) via the VF 750/70R44; a size suitable for fitment on the Fendt 900, Claas 900, and John Deere 7R and 8R series. The tyre’s outer diameter of 2.20 meters offers advantages in traction and footprint length compared to 2.15m sizes, such as 710/75R42 and 900/60R42. The incorporation of Vredestein Traxion Optimall VF technologies mean the tyre can be used at a very low tyre pressure to ensure soil preservation and good traction. Furthermore, the combination of a 44” rim size with Vredestein F+ technology boosts stability for transport activities at high speed.

The VF 900/50R42 and VF 710/55R30 sizes target increased soil preservation, a vital element in boosting farm productivity. Apollo describes this combination as the “widest premium tyre combination for tractors from 160 hp to 250hp.” It notes the growing demand for these VF tyres, especially among soil-conscious arable farmers.

Vredestein offers the Traxion Optimall VF in this size combination when low inflation pressure is required. Together with an extra high load capacity, this offers clear benefits for arable tasks like seeding to activities for large farmers and contractors working on grassland, like slurry injection by drag-hose.

The Traxion Optimall VF has more rubber in the centre of the tread in the driving direction, providing continuous road contact, which increases driving comfort. The F+ technology also keeps the tyre stable at low pressure during transport activities at high speed. Apollo claims its Vredestein Traxion Optimall last “up to 30 per cent longer” than competitor products due to the large contact area on the road and well-chosen rubber compound.
