Why Warranties Matter When Choosing Farm Tires

There’s a lot to consider when buying new farm tires. For example, do you need the tires to help you achieve a goal like lowering soil compaction, improving roadability, or increasing traction? Or, will the tires operate in specific conditions, such as on hillsides or in muddy soil? Another characteristic to contemplate is the quality of a company’s warranty. A tire manufacturer’s warranty is an indicator of the confidence they have in their ag tires and provides purchasers with protection if a tire fails to meet a producer’s promised performance. 

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.
