The Alliance AgriFlex 363 and a Happy Customer 

Farmers are particular about their tires - and we don’t blame them. Nobody wants to suffer from unnecessary slowdowns due to flats, or to wait around while they change from floats to row-crop tires and back. More and more we are seeing farmers, like Troy Elbert and his brother Marlon, running our Alliance 363 IF tires because they’re impressed with the phenomenal results they’re getting. Check out the video of Troy talking about his experience using the Alliance Agriflex 363.


Farmers don’t succeed in the business for more than 30 years by chance. For soybean and corn farmers like the Elberts, running a profitable farm is built on many principles, one of which is to constantly increase productivity and efficiency. The Alliance 363 IF has been beneficial in this capacity because it does the work of two tires—eliminating the need to change tires between seasons and saving valuable time, effort, and money.

Before switching to the Alliance 363 IF, Troy was using a wide tire for flotation when applying herbicide and fertilizer in the Spring. In the late spring/early summer, he would switch to narrow tires to run between the rows and not squish crops while applying herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide. And in the fall, Troy would switch back to wide tires for harvest.

Not only are the 363s saving Troy time, money, and aggravation, but with their steel belts and ability to run a lower tire pressure, they resist punctures and have a larger, more even footprint than standard radial tires, reducing soil compaction and rutting. Even better, Alliance offers all this in a tire that doesn’t break the bank, helping Troy keep his money where it belongs: in his pocket.

Nobody likes change, but we're working to take some of the uncertainty out of switching to our tires. We’re confident in the benefits they provide and they’re backed by a great warranty program. We expect the more the Elberts uses our Alliance 363 IF tires, the more they’ll love them. We can go on and on gushing about how great our tires are, but it means so much more when a farmer like Troy sings our virtues, so don’t forget to check out the video.
