Titan debuts both tallest and widest farm tires at Commodity Classic
New Goodyear sizes reduce soil compaction in any application
DES MOINES, IOWA — Titan International is pleased to announce that an expanded lineup of Goodyear tires will be on display at Commodity Classic to include some of the industry’s widest and tallest farm tires on the market. These new sizes are in response to increasing demand from growers to minimize soil compaction in all applications.
“We know that about 37 percent of growers have a need to frequently run between the rows post emergence — and those growers are good candidates for running tall, narrow duals on their tractors,” explains Scott Sloan, agricultural product manager for Titan and Goodyear Farm Tires. “But for those who don’t run between the rows, Goodyear Extreme Flotation™ sizes optimize performance and significantly reduce soil compaction. Titan is committed to helping our customers alleviate issues related to ground disturbance, regardless of application or tillage habits, and these additional sizes are the answer.”
The new tires will be on display in the Titan booth (2621) at Commodity Classic this year:
Goodyear OPTITRAC LSW 1250/35R46
- Runs on large 4WD tractors or front position on combine
- Low Sidewall Technology™ (LSW®) provides the same weight load capacity as standard tires, but at 40 percent lower inflation pressures
- LSW alternative to standard 1250/50R32, provides greater stability, resulting in reduced power hop and road lope
- Most popular and proven Goodyear tread design, which is 25 percent deeper than conventional R-1 tires for increased traction
- Latest addition to Goodyear 1250-sized offering, which also includes the MuckMaster line for grain carts and the Custom Flo Grip line, with a deep R-2 tread for combines and large 4WD tractors
Goodyear OPTITRAC 320/125R54
- Designed to run on the rear position of MFWD tractors in duals or triples
- Acts as taller alternative to standard factory options, such as a 320/105R54
- 22% percent lower inflation pressures and a whopping 28 percent larger footprint compared to standard 320/105R54 on a dual configuration MFWD tractor application
- Drastically reduces soil compaction while still allowing the tractor to run between the narrowest of rows
Goodyear UltraSprayer 320/125R54
- Flagship sprayer line from Goodyear
- 7 percent lower inflation pressures carrying 5 percent more load and offers nearly 5 percent larger footprint compared to standard 320/105R54 on a sprayer application
- Drastically reduces soil compaction while still allowing the tractor to run between the narrowest of rows
- Improves ride comfort for the operator
