How to Choose an OTR Tire Tread Pattern 

The tread pattern of an OTR tire is responsible for many of its characteristics, including the traction and flotation the tire provides and its resistance to cuts, chunks, wear, and heat. Selecting the right tire with a tread optimized for the conditions it will operate in is essential for maximizing a tire’s return on investment and can provide numerous other benefits, such as improved machine efficiency and productivity.

The Development of the Alliance Agri Star II

We have a well-deserved reputation for building innovative products such as VF- flotation tires and roadable R-2 tires, along with creating category-defining technical “R-5” treads like the Alliance 550 MultiUse and Galaxy Garden Pro. The new Alliance Agri Star II is carrying on the tradition of innovation while living up to our commitment to producing the best performing (and best value) tires in the industry. Bringing the Agri Star II to market is the result of years of thought, energy, and engineering—here’s just a glimpse at what went into the creation of this pioneering product.

Understanding VF Farm Tires 

A quick Google search will pop up numerous articles—many published by us—touting the benefits of VF tires, and testimonials from customers who’ve gotten great results using them. Most of the columns and blogs will tell you why you should put VF tires onto your farm machinery, but very few actually explain what VF farm tires are, and why you should consider investing in them.

 Galaxy's Line of Radial OTR Tires 

Last year, we launched a new line of Galaxy radial off-the-road (OTR) tires. We’re extremely excited about new radials and their ability to solve the real-world challenges facing today’s businesses and operators—helping them reduce downtime, increase tread life, gain better traction, and boost fuel economy. One of the most unique features of our new line of tires is the improved technology that allows them to provide better traction and performance without added weight or cost.

Softening Solid Tires for Cooler and More Comfortable Ride 

More and more operators are outfitting their equipment with solid tires as industries such as construction, recycling, and mining face increasingly tight margins. Solid tires help minimize downtime caused by flats, can last two to three times longer than a pneumatic tire, and have a reputation for delivering a low total cost of ownership. Also becoming more commonplace is the appearance of small openings, or apertures, on solid tires. But what is an aperture and how does it work?
