Prevent stubble damage to tires and save costs

Corn is becoming increasingly resilient and delivering higher yields. Good news, of course, but not always for tyres. This is because the stubble that remains after harvest can cause considerable damage to agricultural tyres. Fortunately, Alliance has the most durable, tough and stubble-resistant agricultural tyres available on the market. Specially designed to resist stubble damage and save you costs. We will be happy to tell you exactly how!
Prevent stubble damage to tires and save costs

Specially designed rubber compounds

Alliance's stubble-resistant compounds are application-specific. Dozens of components are used in the tread and sidewall, depending on what is needed. By using natural and synthetic rubber, elastomers, reinforcing agents and other components, Alliance can guarantee maximum performance. Thanks to a compound with the ideal mix of durability and flexibility for any task.

Steel belt construction offers advantages

Steel belts in the tyres provide puncture resistance and help produce a flat tread, making the tyre more resistant to stubble damage. Moreover, steel belts help dissipate heat at high speeds, which is important for machines used on roads, and to further extend tyre life. Because of the huge benefits of steel belts on tyre performance, every IF/VF AgriFlex tyre from Alliance features steel belt construction.

Tread patterns provide extra protection

Thanks to optimum tread patterns, the tyres are optimised to meet the challenges of stubble in the field. The Alliance AgriFlex 372+ features a tread designed with lugs angled and angled to deflect stubble stalks towards the tyre shoulder. This keeps stubble away from the inside of the tyre, where it can cause damage. Partly for this reason, it is important to fit tyres in the right direction.

The right pressure for best performance

Less compaction, better fuel consumption and longer life... you know the benefits of correct tyre pressure by now. But the right pressure also affects a tyre's resistance to stubble. Tyres with too low pressure can flex too far, exposing the sidewall and making them more vulnerable to punctures. The most important thing you can do to extend the life of your tyre and get the best performance from your tyre? That is to make sure your tyre pressure matches your manufacturers' settings.
