<\/p>\nMichelin has expanded its TrailXBib range of agricultural tyres, with the addition of seven new sizes. This now takes the range from two to nine sizes.<\/p>\n
The seven new sizes are; VF 500\/60 R22.5 160D, VF 600\/50 R22.5 164D, VF 710\/45 R22.5 170D, VF 600\/55 R26.5 170D, VF 710\/50 R26.5 176D, VF 650\/65 R30.5 181D, and VF 750\/60 R30.5 187D.<\/p>\n
Developed in association with farmers, Michelin says the TrailXBib offers improved performance compared to its predecessor.<\/p>\n
Agricultural transport is one of the most destructive stages of the crop cycle for soils, but with its ability to work at very low pressure, the TrailXBib tyre protects the soil by limiting its compaction and thus ensures better agronomic yields.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The TrailXBib tyre offers a casing design meeting the VF (Very high Flexion) standard, which enables the tyre to carry up to 40 per cent more weight than a standard tyre at iso-recommended pressure, according to Michelin. On the other hand, at iso-load, it can work at lower pressures allowing better protection of the soil.<\/p>\n
It has a highly efficient self-cleaning tread pattern, which is especially effective in muddy conditions and therefore reduces mud deposited on roads after field work.<\/p>\n
A central tread rib also features in the tyre to ensure regular wear and safe on-road handling. Michelin’s Ultraflex technology is used in the tyre’s casing design to resist damage, particularly when operating at low inflation pressures.<\/p>\n
This new range of tyres for trailed implements enables farmers to equip their entire convoy with Ultraflex technology VF tyres. From the tractor axles with the Axiobib 2, Xeobib and Yieldbib ranges to the trailer axles with Michelin TrailXBib, users can optimise the efficiency of their operation throughout the crop cycle.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the addition of the new sizes, Raymond Tavernari, agricultural product category manager at Michelin, says: “When this tyre was initially launched last year it was the result of collaborations and discussions with our agricultural customers in many countries.<\/p>\n
“We have now extended the range from two to nine sizes and this means we can now offer more of our customers the option to use the TrailXBib on more of their implements.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
