Yokohama Off-Highway Tires Inc. has upgraded its Alliance 885 line of agri-transport tires with new, high-load 850/50R30.5 and 710/40R22.5 configurations.
These sizes are popular for modern manure tankers, spreaders and sprayers.
The 850/50R30.5 Alliance 885 has a 182D load index and is capable of carrying up to 18,700 pounds up to 40 miles per hour.
“The flexible sidewall and steel-belted construction of the Alliance 885 floatation radial creates a bigger, more even contact patch for greater traction, more surface area to spread the load and slow, even wear,” says Blaine Cox, national product manager for agriculture, golf and turf for Yokohama Off-Highway.
“The new Alliance 885 provides the perfect opportunity for farmers, manure managers, custom harvesters and others who haul heavy loads at high speeds to switch from bias-ply to radial tire technology.”
The Alliance 885 features a curved-lug tread pattern with traction for the field, self-cleaning, rounded shoulders to minimize crop damage and a dense centerline for stability on the road.
“A top-quality agri-transport tire has to be just as good on the road as it is in the field,” continues Cox.
“It has to resist wear and damage to deliver a great return on investment. And it must have a minimal impact on social health – low compaction in the soil profile and the lightest traces possible on the surface – so crops can approach their highest yield potential.”
Along with the new 850/50R30.5 Alliance 885 tire, Yokohama Off-Highway also introduced the Alliance 885 floatation radial in 710/40R22.5 with a 165D load index capable of carrying up to 11,400 pounds up to 40 miles per hour.
