Mitas to announce PneuTrac plans, receives award for tyre/track ‘hybrid’

,

Although only a concept at present and “still some way off” from its commercial release, Mitas holds high hopes for the PneuTrac, a product it says combines the best of both worlds in traditional pneumatic tyres and rubber tracks. The Czech Republic-based tyre maker is carrying out intensive tests on a prototype PneuTrac fitted to an 18-inch rim, has begun dynamic testing using a 38-inch fitment and is planning to test a new, third size. Mitas says it will announce its plans for PneuTrac at the EIMA agricultural exhibition in Bologna, Italy at a press conference scheduled for 13 November.

Mitas supersizes its agricultural range with a hefty 555kg tyre

Although tyres made for the mining sector are by far the world’s largest, the latest release from Mitas is certainly no runt by agricultural standards: This month the company is releasing a new 1250/50R32 SFT tyre intended for use on grain carts and combine harvesters. The 1250/50R32 SFT 188A8/185B is produced at Mitas’ North American plant in Charles City, Iowa and weighs 555 kilogrammes, making it the heaviest tyre in the manufacturer’s product portfolio. It has a diameter of 2.02 metres and a volume of 2.3 m³, and it contains 76.5 m² of cord. The tyre is capable of carrying loads of up to 16 tonnes (10 km/h cyclic).

European launch for Mitas SFT tyre line

Another sign that Mitas is looking ahead to the day when it relinquishes the license agreement for Continental-brand agricultural tyres can be seen in the Czech Republic-based tyre maker’s decision to solely market its newest Super Flexion Tyre (SFT) range in Europe under the Mitas brand name. The six Mitas SFT sizes previewed at last November’s Agritechnica show – 900/60R42, 710/60R34, 650/60R34, 710/65R46, 750/65R26, 580/85R42 – go on sale this month and three further dimensions – 620/75R26, 1050/50R25, 1250/50R32 – will enter the market later in 2014.
