Outfitting Older Tractors With Today's Tires

It was interesting to discover an article in the Star Tribune—Minnesota’s largest newspaper—about the resurgence in popularity of tractors from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Our beliefs are simple. It’s not performance if our customers can’t profit from it. It’s not top of the line if it doesn’t add to the bottom line. And customers run more than just their equipment on our tires, they run their businesses. Because of this, we take enormous pride in the fact that our Alliance, Galaxy, and Primex brand tires deliver superior performance, last longer, and provide a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than our big-name competitors. More simply stated: our tires are a better value.

As of Jan 1, 2021, Alliance Tire Group and Alliance Tire Americas, Inc. changed their names to Yokohama Off-Highway Tires and Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc respectively.

Celebrating an Excellent 2019 

For many of the sectors we serve, 2019 was tough. Wild weather and trade disputes made for a challenging year in ag, a tight labor market and increasing material costs put construction customers to the test, and changes in exporting recyclable materials and massive forest fires affected those working in material handling and forestry. However, despite the numerous obstacles to overcome, 2019 was a year of successes for us. Here are just a few highlights from the last year.

Stop Stubble Damage From Haunting Your Tires
