# How Radial Tires Can Improve the Performance of Your Construction Equipment
Compact construction equipment like backhoes, telehandlers, industrial tractors, and skid steers have traditionally been fitted with bias-ply tires, due in large part to their lower up-front cost. However, just because a tire costs less at the dealer, doesn’t mean it’s the most affordable option over the long haul. Radial tires have numerous advantages over their bias counterparts which allow them to last longer and perform better—reducing the tire’s expense over its lifetime and earning you more.

# A Guide for Matching Skid Steer Tires to Application
Whether pushing, lifting, or carrying a load, traction is critical to maximizing the performance of your skid steer and is one of the[primary advantages](http://atablogs.atgtire.com/10-reasons-to-choose-a-skid-steer-over-a-compact-track-loader) they have over compact track loaders. Unlike CTLs that are limited to a few types of tracks, skid steer tires are available in a broad spectrum of tread patterns and constructions—allowing operators to choose a tire specifically tailored to their application.

# A Farmer's Guide to Speed and Load Index
Shrinking profit margins and the need to feed a growing population are just a couple of reasons why farm equipment continues to get larger and more powerful. Coinciding with the growing size and power of farm machines is an increase in the speed at which they travel. As tractors evolve to meet the demands of today’s farmers, so must the tires those machines ride on. One such adaptation in response to farmers’ need for speed is the production of more ag tires with high-speed ratings.

# The Heroes of America's Supply Chain
COVID-19 has turned the lives of millions of Americans upside down. While offices and schools across the country are transitioning to remote work and online learning, farm operations are simultaneously ramping up in preparation for spring planting. Obviously, it’s imperative that steps be taken on the farm to [minimize exposure risk for yourself and your workers](https://vegetablegrowersnews.com/news/steps-farms-can-take-to-fight-coronavirus-shared-by-cornell/), but given our nation’s need for food it’s more important than ever for pre-planting fieldwork to get done and for seed to get into the ground on time.
