Medium-high power agricultural tractors are known to work on the road for at least half of their life pulling heavy trailers. It is no coincidence that the majority of agricultural tire manufacturers are progressively adding tires characterized by treads that are less aggressive towards the ground and therefore capable of exhibiting lower energy absorption on the road, alongside the classic crampon tyres, a trend that the manufacturers themselves had previously already approached at the level of floating tyres, those used to equip trailers, and which was also recently done by Bkt.
Not content with offering one of the widest ranges of agricultural tires on the market, the Indian Group has in fact implemented its floating offer with a tire called “PowerTrailer Sr 331” decidedly oriented towards mixed road-field uses and therefore characterized by a tread with multi-block design that ensures smoothness and stability on the road. The same design is also a harbinger of high buoyancy in the field, a quality that allows soil compaction to be minimized without penalizing load capacity. The latter is then ensured by an “all steel” type carcass construction, while the resistance against any damage caused in the field by stones or woody vegetation is given by the sidewall structure, designed to reduce impacts and rubbing. Another connotation that orients the tire to high mass trailers and in particular to tankers is inherent in the reinforced bead and the hexagonal circle, components that ensure the perfect adaptability of the tire to the rim and which contribute greatly to the class “D” approval of the tire , the one that enables road travel at speeds of 65 kilometers/hour.
