Petlas Tire Corporation has added a new super-single size to its truck and bus radial (TBR) range. The Turkish tyre manufacturer upgraded the compounds of its NZ300 pattern at the end of 2023 in order to “increase mileage performance, setting a new standard in tyre efficiency”.
Will the agricultural market shift towards wheeled 4WD tractors over their tracked counterparts in the years to come? Titan International believes so. It bases this projection upon feedback from US agricultural equipment dealers and their customers, as well as from testing the tyre maker carried out in North America together with dealer group Van Wall Equipment. This showed that super single tyres offer comparable field performance and reduced soil compaction at a much lower cost than tracks.
Singapore-based brand Firenza is purportedly striving for a position in the mid-range UK and European truck tyre markets by offering a “versatile” commercial vehicle tyre option in a “variety of sizes for all current TBR vehicle applications”.
Firenza range features include a solid shoulder construction plus a zero angled steel band designed to significantly reduce irregular wear. In addition, a special tread groove is designed to further eliminate stone retention and casing damage.
