The Development of the Alliance Agri Star II Tire

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.

Outfitting Older Tractors With Today's Tires

It was interesting to discover an article in the Star Tribune—Minnesota’s largest newspaper—about the resurgence in popularity of tractors from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Lately, these machines have been attracting a lot of attention at auctions across the Midwest and it’s not coming from collectors. Rather, it’s cost-conscious farmers driving demand for this classic equipment.

Radial Tires for Better Compact Tractor Performance 

Compact tractors are an increasingly popular tool for varied chores like moving snow, landscaping, and gardening. A multitude of available accessories such as buckets, backhoes, and mowers make them one of the most versatile pieces of equipment a landscaper, hobby farmer, or property owner can possess. With more and more work hours tasked to compact tractors, their owners are looking for options to increase their comfort and productivity. Mounting radial tires is a relatively inexpensive enhancement to the performance, looks, and comfort of your compact tractor.

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.

Innovative Tires For Improved Farmer Financial Stability 

Times are tough in the business of farming; margins are decreasing, input costs are rising, and the weather is as unpredictable as ever. While we frequently talk about how we’re developing new and innovative application-specific tires to help farmers meet the challenges facing them, this is only one way that we're working to help farmers improve financial stability—not just today, but for generations to come. One of the most interesting projects we’re currently working on is a collaboration with two Iowa-based businesses at the cutting-edge of out-of-the-box thinking and innovation: Cedar Valley Innovation and Precision Inflation.
