DES MOINES, Iowa — Titan International Inc. is releasing larger sizes of sizes of its Goodyear R14T tire for use on sprayers and combines.
The larger tires have several benefits, according to Titan, including:
• Lower rolling resistance, allowing cost savings on fuel;
• Improved on-road driving from a higher lug to void ratio in the tire center, which helps reduce vibration, offers a quieter and more efficient ride and also allows for less ground surface destruction;
• Better cleanout compared to other leading crossover tires due to extra space between shoulder lugs;
• Enhanced stability and hillside traction for challenging terrains and better maneuvering of combines on hills during harvest.
"When compared to an R4, the Goodyear R14T has 15-20% less rolling resistance. This is going to be a game changer for farmers when it comes to sprayer and combine applications," Mark Rankin, director of business development at Titan International, said.
Titan is debuting the larger sizes at the 2024 Farm Progress Show, August 27-29 in Boone, Iowa.
