Alliance debuts Agri Star II Row Crop at Lamma

Alliance, a brand of agricultural and off-highway tyres under Yokohama-ATG, recently exhibited at the Lamma trade show in the UK, where it showcased the Agri Star II Row Crop tyre for the first time.

Following its launch at Agritechnica 2025, the Agri Star II Row Crop made its UK debut, bringing Alliance’s proven Stratified Layer Technology (SLT) to specialised sprayers and row crop applications.

Designed to meet the demands of modern, high-speed farming while protecting soil health, Alliance says the new tyre addresses key challenges faced by today’s growers and contractors.

The Agri Star II Row Crop is engineered with a wider tread width to reduce soil compaction and improve load distribution, helping preserve yields in increasingly compressed time windows for field operations.

Its SLT design uses two distinct rubber layers within each lug, ensuring consistent traction and stability throughout the tyre’s life cycle—even after significant wear.

With an E-speed rating of up to 70 km/h (43 mph), the tyre is optimised for the growing share of road travel between fields, while still delivering strong low-pressure performance in the field. This makes it particularly suited for sprayers and specialised equipment operating across narrow crop rows.

Typical applications of the Agri Star II Row Crop tyre include self-propelled and trailed sprayers, row crop tractors and specialised equipment working in cereals, maize, oilseed rape and other row-planted crops.

Alliance says bringing VF technology to this segments is particularly important to the industry as machinery weights as well as road travel distances will only keep growing.

Built on a platform that has already seen over one million Agri Star II tyres sold worldwide, the row crop version extends Alliance’s SLT benefits into a highly specialised segment.

The tyre range covers sizes from 24- to 54-inches, offering compatibility with a wide variety of machines used in modern agriculture.

Durability is further enhanced through robust construction elements such as a stubble guard and wear-resistant compounds, supporting long service life and reliability under demanding conditions.
