Looking for longer and smoother rides? It’s time to get over your bias and go radial. Radial tires offer lower fuel consumption, better traction, increased flotation and improved cut resistance in the tread. In fact, the reduction in flats will more than pay for itself.
Let’s take a look at five reasons you need to get on board with radials.
They’re durable
Because the construction of radials allows the sidewall and tread to function independently, this lends flexibility and strength to the tire, resulting in increased durability and improved tread wear.
They reduce soil compaction
Radials can operate at lower inflation pressures, creating a wider footprint, which distributes weight more uniformly over a larger area, resulting in less soil compaction for greater yields.
They increase comfort on the road
The increased sidewall flex of radials absorbs shocks and impacts, giving the operator a smoother, more superior ride.
They deliver more traction
Radials offer a greater, more uniform tire footprint, allowing the tread to hold evenly and more firmly on the ground. More rubber on the ground means less slippage and more traction.
They help improve productivity
Wider footprint, thoughtful construction and increased flexibility allow more work to get done in the field in less time, proving radial's superior performance over its bias counterpart.
