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](http://www.yokohama-oht.com).
The [Alliance Agriflex+ 881](https://atgtire.com/usa/product-detail/?product=404)—a new, all-steel VF (very high-flexion) radial tire for today's heaviest towed agricultural implements, rated for road speeds up to 40 mph—broadens the line of high-performance VF tires from Alliance Tire America. The Agriflex+ product line uses extremely flexible sidewall technology to improve the load-carrying capacity and reduce soil compaction. The VF tires designated as Alliance Agriflex+ radials can carry as much of a load as a conventional radial tire at 40 percent less inflation pressure, reducing soil compaction force by about 40 percent.

# Working in the Field
It’s hard to believe that we released our innovative [Alliance Agri Star II](https://atgtire.com/usa/product-detail/?product=396) tire just six months ago. Blending the fantastic performance and the low total cost of ownership we've developed a reputation for, it’s no wonder that we’re already seeing so many of these tires on the farm and in the field. Accompanying many of those tires is our sales team, helping dealers and customers alike to set up their equipment and maximize their return on Alliance tires.

# 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 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.
