6 Benefits of Radial Farm Tyres Farm vehicles and tyres are very different and useful from rest of the vehicles and their tyres. They are specifically designed and crafted for farm usage. Talking about radial tyres for trucks, they are a complex combination of numerous components providing the tyre with rigidity and tyre-to-ground contact. Radial farm tractor tyres have many benefits over their bias counterparts. Even though radial farm tractor tyres cost more upfront than bias farm tractor tyres, one will effectively make up for the additional cost with the enhanced performance and longevity of a radial farm tractor tyre.
Six benefits are:
Greater tyre footprint on the ground Improved traction Reduced wheel slip Lower fuel consumption Less time to cover more ground Long tyre life when used on the road
Compositions of Radial Tyres
The Casing of a Radial Tyre: The structure of the tyre starts with its casing. It is a mixture of synthetic textile cords and steel wires covered in brass. This positioning allows for: o Increased deformability of the sidewalls o Shocks are better absorbed o Comfort level is higher Stability Plies: On the upper front of the casing, additional layers are placed diagonally to the running direction, known as stability plies. There are two types of plies: o The radial plies o The cap plies
