All tyre manufacturers agree on the importance of the correct pressure to guarantee the performance of their tyres.
In agriculture, the variety of vehicles, applications and implements require regular and appropriate adaptation of tyre pressures to ensure their service life and other key performance factors like traction, fuel saving and soil protection.
Finding the tyre pressure you should use can be challenging, but now the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) and 12 leading tyre brands have collaborated to produce a smartphone app that puts all the key data in the operator’s hands.
The new Agro Tyre Pressure app is claimed to be the only one that combines each manufacturer’s pressure, load and speed tables databases.
Users of Bridgestone, Continental, Cultor, Firestone, Kleber, Maximo, Michelin, Mitas, Nokian, Taurus, Trelleborg and Vredestein tyres need to select their tyre brand and size, along with the axle load and working speed, to find the most appropriate tyre pressure for the job.
The new app is available in versions for both iOS and Android devices.
