Michelin Agricultural Tires introduced the new Michelin VF520/85R42 CFO 177A8 CerexBib tyre. Michelin’s Very High Flexion (VF) tyres include a class of agricultural tyres designed to handle bigger and heavier farm equipment that has a greater ability to flex under increased loads than standard radials. Designed expressly for large combines and grain carts, the new CerexBib is one of the first true VF tyres for today’s heaviest harvesting equipment.
“This new CerexBib offers a massive load capacity, up to21,960 pounds, and has a giant footprint of approximately 486 square inches,” said James Crouch, Michelin farm segment marketing manager. “It is built with Michelin Ultraflex Technology, which enables tyres to operate at up to 40 percent lower air pressure than standard radial tyres. This results in a considerable reduction of ruts and compaction, and higher yield potential.”
