    Yokohama Off-Highway Tires (YOHTA) has introduced the Alliance 590 flotation radial tire

    WAKEFIELD, Mass. — Yokohama Off-Highway Tires (YOHTA) has introduced the Alliance 590 flotation radial tire that features puncture-resistant materials for the heavy tankers, wagons and pull-behind sprayers used on farms and construction sites.

    The tire features three layers of steel belts under a cut-resistant tread compound for extra durability, layered steel belts to maintain a flat, and even footprint for improved grip and lower rolling resistance, according to Blaine Cox, YOHTA's national product manager for agriculture, golf and turf.

    The non-directional tread pattern of the new Alliance 590 features heavy, deep blocks with open channels to enhance grip and self-cleaning.

    "The edges of the outer blocks form deep, aggressive shoulders for extra traction," Cox said. "That provides added performance in soft ground for agricultural applications while still allowing the Alliance 590 to provide a smooth, steady tow on pavement and harder soils. The Alliance 590 also features a new cut-and-chip compound that's great for roading. This tire is really built for versatility."

    The Alliance 590 is also useful on construction sites, according to Dhananjay Bisht, YOHTA's national product manager for OTR products.

    "Tanks and trailers can encounter such a wide range of surfaces and conditions on construction projects, so the Alliance 590 is a great tire for ensuring that rolling equipment is fitted for great performance and durability wherever it goes," Bisht said.

    Capable of speeds up to 40 mph, the Alliance 590 may be operated at low inflation pressures to minimize soil compaction.

    The Alliance 590 is available in eight sizes:

    • 560/60R22.5;

    • 600/55R26.5;

    • 650/55R26.5;

    • 650/60R26.5;

    • 600/60R30.5;

    • 650/65R30.5;

    • 710/50R30.5; and

    • 750/60R30.5.
