Czech tyre maker Mitas, starts selling its very high flexion (VF) farm tyres in worldwide markets.
In a press release, Mitas said the VF tyre product line played a key role in the firm’s premium product offering, which is replacing Continental-branded tyres on machinery produced from January 2015.
For high-horsepower tractors Mitas released the VF 380/95R38 HC 2000 and VF 480/95R50 HC 2000. For sprayer applications the company has unveiled the VF 380/90R46 HC 1000. Mitas said it plans to extend this month the range and introduce additional sizes of HC 2000 — namely VF 600/70R30 and VF 710/70R42.
Andrew Mabin, Mitas’ marketing and sales director, called VF tyres “the backbone” of the company’s premium product offerings.
The VF tyre’s main advantage is maintaining constant tyre pressure at any speed, according to Mitas. A larger footprint, it added, leads to less soil compaction and increased mobility under difficult and wet soil conditions.
