Outfitting a Customer with Alliance AgriFlex Tires 

Collaboration is a big part of what we do, as we work closely with our dealers to outfit customers with the best possible—and most cost-effective—tires to meet their specific needs. As such, it’s particularly satisfying when we hear stories about our dealers working to solve a customer’s issue.

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. The Alliance, Galaxy and Primex brands and product names remain unchanged. Product information is available at www.yokohama-oht.com.

With growing farm sizes and an ongoing quest for larger yields, large, high-clearance, self-propelled sprayers have gone from being a niche product aimed only at custom applicators to a vital piece of farm equipment owned by individuals and applicators alike. Like most machinery on the farm, self-propelled sprayers are ballooning in size to accommodate the needs of today’s ag operations and help farmers maximize operational productivity and increase efficiency.

Alliance Tire Americas, Inc., has introduced a new VF (very high flexion) tire for the largest class of high-clearance sprayers. With wide steel radial belts, stubble-resistant rubber compounds, sidewalls engineered for extra flexibility, and a large air chamber to support the weight of today's big machinery, the Alliance Agriflex+ 354 tire in the 420/95R50 size can handle loads of more than 15,000 pounds per wheel. The new Alliance tire is one of only two sprayer tires that size on the market.

In the difficult ag economy, any advantage you can acquire—no matter how small—can be the difference between making a profit and taking a loss. Even modest improvements to a large operation such as a farm can add up, resulting in an impactful change (and more dollars) at the end of the season. Helping farmers combat decreasing farm profits are tires like the Alliance 363 IF/VF.

Applications-Specific Tires Provide Farm Solutions 

Our focus is on making application-specific tires that solve the real-world issues facing our customers. We also want our innovative products to be within reach of the average farmer, construction business owner, and fleet manager, which is why we strive to deliver a technologically advanced tire with a low total cost of ownership. Because of this, we get especially excited when our distributors find a solution to a customer’s problem using one of our tires.
