Combine and Grain Cart Tires: A Quick Guide to Alliance’s Harvest Tires

We’re dedicated to making application-specific tires that meet the real-world challenges our customers face. With harvest fast approaching, we’re reminded that our ag customers have a variety of needs, face unique issues, and operate within different budgets—after all, a farmer with 500 acres has different demands than one with 5,000. This is why we have a combine and grain cart tire for every customer.

Because there are so many components of the business farmers can’t manage, it’s critical to take control of what they can. Two such factors farms can affect are cost and compaction, which are more closely linked than you might expect.

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.
