Agricultural tyres unlike motorbike or car tyres are not designed to be driven on the road. In reality, tractors spend more amount of time on the road now a day. This is increasing gradually because of the increase in distance between a farmer’s home and the plot.
While Agricultural Tyres are designed, the major factor that is considered is the priority of the tractor. This priority includes its capacity on soft soil. Thus, the width and height of the tyre are taken into account. The lugs are also considered, which offers more traction efficiently on the loose surface they are supposed to grip.
Wearing Resistance
As compared to the earth, Asphalt is quite harder. Its composition makes it abrasive. For lasting long and resisting every type of rough weather conditions and traffic type, the road surfaces are designed effectively. Several materials such as bits of crushed rock, sand, tar and gravel are used to make a road surface. These granulate form sharp and rough irregularities spaced apart by rising up to the surface of the road.
Your agricultural tyres get worn more rapidly when you drive on these road surfaces for long
Only the tyre lugs tips are solicited on a dry asphalt road. The lug thickness is not used. For embracing the road indentations, the rubber deforms.
The rate of slippage on the road is very low when you drive very slowly. Thus, very little wearing occurs.
If you drive more quickly: The tyre slips more on the ground if you accelerate more while driving fast. Thus, the rubber temperature increases, which makes it suppler. The rubber then becomes sensitive to the asphalt abrasiveness.
The wearing gets accentuated by every impact or knock to the agricultural tyre. In minimizing this wear, the speed aspect is decisive.
Comfort Of Driving
Almost every driver expects impeccable handling of the road from their tyres along with no vibrations, rapidity and comfort. They also expect that they won’t face any road-handling issues while driving at a faster speed. Unfortunately, this is not so and your tyres’ geometrical misalignment is associated with it often.
Geometrical issues must be dealt with priority by inspecting the parallelism of the tractor regularly to have perfect comfort of driving on the road. For preserving your tyres and limiting irregular wearing, this is one of the effective ways. You can keep your tyre for long and save a huge amount on it.
Main Criteria Of Tyres For Road
You need to make the perfect choice of tyres if your agricultural business includes spending a huge time span on the road. Your choice can be supported by these pillars:
volume of tread
technology of tyre
tyre resistance to stress of the load
compound of tread
A very suitable tyre must be chosen for your activity. If your use is intensive, tyres of standard technology will be the best choice as compared to the tyres of VF or IF technology.
Indeed, the IF and VF tyres prove their real benefit on the field. These tyres protect the soil better as they are used at a low level of pressure on the field. A high driving comfort level is offered by them on the road. But, they result in more pitching when used at a low level of inflation pressure.
More Rubber For Wearing
A vital criterion is the rubber volume also. Many tyre brands offer an extra volume of rubber as compared to their competitors. They also contain longer, wider and higher lugs. These features of high technology determine its characteristics for extending its longevity even after using it extensively on the road.
Controlled Wearing
The Tread compound of a tyre includes a very precise formula including a combination of many components. The tyre gets its properties from every formula used.
The Resistance Of The Casing To Stress
The carcass of a high-tech tyre is optimised for minimizing internal stress.
Based on the tyre brand, different results will be offered by the same tyre size used on the same tractor having the same load per tyre at the same pressure of inflation. This is due to the fact that the external elements of construction like sidewall, tread volume, tread pattern, etc and the internal elements of construction like rubber compounds, bead, plies, sidewalls, etc. differ from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Solution
Opting for the following is the ideal solution for working on various terrains smoothly:
Driving at a moderate pace for maintaining the tyres in good condition and enhancing braking security
The parallelism and pressure settings of your Trelleborg Tractor Tyres as well as the tanks, spreaders, sprayers, hitched implements and tools, etc must be adjusted for preserving your tyre’s road handling capacity.
A tyre of new generation having a specific design for bringing you every benefit on the road without comprising on its agricultural capabilities.
