The ProgressiveTraction tread design was conceived to tackle the requirements of the latest generation of machinery, increasing power transmission efficiency to the ground while reducing soil compaction. At the same time, the double-edge-lug tread design was developed to reduce vibration, lowering energy dissipation, minimising fuel consumption, as well as extending service life.
Testing revealed that the tyre has achieved up to 3% less fuel consumption and up to 5% longer tyre service life, the company says. New Zealand distributors TRS Tyre & Wheel, say they stock a wide range of Trelleborg and Mitas tyres and are able to provide complete customer solutions.
