More Stable. Last Longer. 

In southern Indiana, the Dubois County Highway Department road crew mows 1,400 miles of roadside shoulders all season long, racking up 1,200 hours on each of the county’s four mowing tractors each year. Mowing on steep shoulders, carrying heavy bar
mowers, running on pavement—it’s tough duty for tires, which is why Dubois County Highway Department mechanic Max Hopf got so excited when he compared a set of Alliance 550 Multiuse radials against the department’s ag-style R-1 tires.

• Stability? Better.
• Traction? Every bit as good.
• Power hop? Gone.
• And wear? No contest.

Alliance Multistar 376 Radial Tires 

Alliance tires are building a global reputation of performance and value among custom
applicators and farmers who use them on their self-propelled sprayers. We asked a few
professional custom applicators about their experience with the Alliance tires on their
rigs. Here’s what they told us.

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.

Launching a new brand of truck tires is a huge task, even for a company with a global reputation for the quality of its Galaxy, Alliance and Primex off-highway tire (OHT) brands. Truckers want to know that the new line of Galaxy truck tires have proven themselves on the road.

Radial Tires Give This Farmer's Skid Steer a Performance Boost

A skid steer may be the most versatile piece of equipment on the farm—especially on a beef-feeding operation like Neil Grunzke's near Wells, Minnesota, where he uses his skid steer to move hay, load feed, shovel manure, and scoop snow. For most of their history these multi-purpose machines have been outfitted with basic, bar-tread, bias-ply tires. Last year, however, Grunzke upgraded his New Holland 225 skid steer to the radial Alliance 550 MultiUse tire to see if he could get longer service life out of his tires.

Reducing Rutting and Cutting Compaction with Tires 

We love learning how our dealers help customers use our application-specific AG tires to solve problems on the farm. Some of the unique solutions our dealers come up with are so great that we feel compelled to share them. Our latest tale comes from Graham Tire in Minnesota, where a tire with a higher load index was used to help a customer reduce the soil compaction and rutting their sprayer was causing.
