Goodyear: One million Optitrac tyres sold

Goodyear is celebrating after selling more than one million units of its immensely popular Optitrac tyre range. 
The Goodyear Optitrac first arrived on the UK farm scene with the introduction of the DT812, 70 series tyre. This set the benchmark for field traction and mileage and was complemented by the DT818, 65 series variant. The range was further extended by the DT824 volume range, DT830 super volume range and DT800 in row crop sizes. After this extension, the DT806, 85 series tyre was introduced, making the Optitrac range a family of six successful tyres.
Goodyear expanded the Optitrac range with a series of tyre sizes fitting the next generation of 65km/hr, high-speed, high-power, four-wheel-drive-drive tractors named Optitrac R+. To date, Optitrac R+ is available in 13 sizes allowing multiple front and rear size combinations. Its outstanding, top of the range performance is appreciated by many original equipment and replacement customers.
The company’s farm and OTR manager, Phil Stanton, said the success of the Optitrac range was a result of its excellent tyre traction, low soil compaction, its long life and high comfort when riding at higher speeds on the road.
“Our sales force has demonstrated with facts and figures to countless end-users across the UK and Europe that Goodyear Optitrac provides tremendous versatility at low cost over its long tyre life,” he said. “The extensive size line-up in Optitrac allows you to do all kinds of work, fast, secure and at low cost, throughout the year in any soil condition.”
The Optitrac range is available in 118 different size and load combinations meeting the needs of the farming community not only in Europe but worldwide.
