VT-Tractor tyre

Main features

Traction

Very high level of traction

• Very large footprint for transmitted traction to the ground.
  Compared with its competitors, Bridgestone VT-TRACTOR tyres have a lug contact area up to 26% larger than current key players in the market.
• Faster working with VT-TRACTOR tyres you can cover almost 1 ha. More in a day with the same equipment compared with current key players in the market*.

• Involute lug design to increase traction and limit soil disturbance at the lug exit.

* Based on Bridgestone’s internal testing conducted in Bernburg Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, in March 2014 with IF 600/70R30 and IF 710/70R42 tyres (inflated to 1.2 and 1.0 bar) and VF 600/70R30 and VF 710/70R42 tyres (inflated to 1.0 and 0.8 bar) using XSENSOR^TM pressure imaging technology.

Pressure

Working at reduced pressure up to 0.6 bar
Pressure range: 0.6 to 1.6 bar

• The S-LINE bead profile offers better dynamic properties at reduced pressure. It guarantees durability under extreme conditions: great flexing at lower pressure to reduce soil compaction, and high and constantly changing loads.

Soil care

Maximum protection

• Reduces the time needed for the ground to regenerate. Compared with its competitors, Bridgestone VT-TRACTOR tyres have a lug contact area up to 26% larger than current key players in the market*.
• Reduces soil compaction: thanks to VF technology, you operate at lower inflation reduces soil compaction and thus delivers a greater yield.

Load capacity

Very high capacity

• On the road: carrying bigger loads means fewer transport cycles on the road. At same speed and same pressure, you win up to 40% load capacity versus standard tyre.

Reduction of operating costs

Increases productivity through

VT-TRACTOR tyres reduce your operating costs further through:

• Fuel savings and greater efficiency on the road: up to 36 litres/50 hectares*
• Time savings on field: VT-TRACTOR tyres you can cover almost 1 ha. More in a day with the same equipment compared with current key players in the market*.
• Time savings on road: tyre can carry a load up to 40% heavier compared with a standard tyre. The advantages? Fewer transport cycles on the road, lower costs.

Self-cleaning

Improved tread design with asymmetric lugs.

Driving comfort and safety

Excellent road behaviour and increased ride comfort:

• Flexible sidewall absorbs more road surface imperfections for a smoother ride.
• Long, overlapping lugs: the new pattern design ensures a smoother drive.
• Reinforced carcass to absorb heavy loads at reduced pressure.

Wear

Remarkable durability even in extreme conditions:

• Extremely robust carcass, reinforced structure to increase load capacity and exclusive S-LINE bead profile to secure the tyre/rim connection.
• Incorporates a wear-resistant component, including vegetable oils, as a replacement for some petroleum-based oils.

Damage resistance

Very high resistance

• Reinforced carcass construction for increased strength

Fuel consumption

Contributes to reduce fuel consumption transmits power to the ground. Fuel savings and greater efficiency on the road up to 36 litres/50 hectares*.

Return on investment

Optimum

NRO option allows the tyre to be mounted on a narrower rim without the tyre slipping on the rim.

• Without NRO: it’s mandatory to change rim for the same dimension
• With NRO: you can maintain the existing rim to adopt superior technology

Stability

Optimum stability even in extreme conditions.
