“We see with enormous pride that customers in different markets such as Spain, Italy, Netherlands, France, and Russia, for example, highly appreciate and value the Agri Star II and give very positive feedback via our field engineers and distribution partners”,

says Angelo Noronha, President Europe at ‎Yokohama Off-Highway Tires.

Benefits as seen by customers

The Alliance Agri Star II excels in terms of performance, prolonged traction, durability – and design –, thus offering excellent value for money. These features are strongly rewarded by the market, turning this pattern into a continuously growing success story. “It is highly motivating to see that quality and performance of Alliance tires and particularly the Agri Star II receives more and more recognition.

This is mirrored in customer feedback from various markets”, highlights Angelo Noronha with a few examples:

“Particular comments reached us from France, referring to the good balance between grip and preservation of the soil, efficiency and quality, the level of performance and comfort that was reported to match that of more expensive brands, and hence a price-performance ratio that is in favor of the Agri Star II. Comments from Italy particularly addressed more adherence, more powerful traction, and more stability in the field, also when the soil is wet, in addition to self-cleaning characteristics that were reported to clearly exceed those of the tire brands used before. In another example, feedback from Spain included comments on the excellent experiences with the Alliance brand in general and the Agri Star II in particular, which led to recommending this pattern to other farmers. And of course, the fact that Agri Star ll is nominated as “Best Agricultural Tire” for the prestigious Spanish Premios Hevea Award which is now postponed until March 2022.”

Titan is expanding its Titan AgraEDGE tire line — which was launched just last year — with 4 new flotation sizes of the cutting-edge, cost-competitive tires. The radial R-1W tires are available now in 710/70R38, 710/70R42, 800/65R32, and 800/70R38 sizes for MFWD tractors combine, grain carts, and 4WD tractors.

“We introduced the AgraEDGE in 2021 with 17 tires in 14 different sizes to support the most popular MFWD tractor front and rear configurations to give farmers an American-made high-performing, modern-looking, cost-competitive R-1W tire. These new sizes allow us to support farmers even more by covering additional MFWD setups, as well as combines, grain carts, and 4WD tractors,”

said Scott Sloan, Ag Product Manager at Titan.

The expansion gives the AgraEDGE line 18 total sizes (21 tire options), ranging from 380/80R38 up to 800/70R38. Titan plans to continue to expand the line with additional row crops through flotation sizes in the coming months.

Modern design elements

The new AgraEDGE sizes, like the initial 14 sizes, feature a modern design and improved compounding, the latest engineered materials, state-of-the-art construction techniques, and modern lug angle for optimum self-cleaning and traction. In addition, new construction in the sidewall and lug angle provides excellent roading capability. The tire and footprint shape allows for minimal soil compaction. Each tire is “D” Speed Rated to better match the application.

Radial warranty coverage

The full AgraEDGE tire line is covered by Titan’s recently expanded radial warranty, which includes:

• 8-year coverage for tire workmanship and material with a prorated refund based on years in service and percentage wear. This includes a 2-year no-cost replacement (service not included) versus the previous policy’s 1-year no-cost replacement.
• The new 1-year field hazard protection plan offers prorated refunds for select cases of field hazard damage.
• 2-year stubble damage protection plan covers all Titan radials.
