Alliance 768 Value Plus gets pivot irrigation systems going

As part of the manufacturers portfolio of value segment tires, Alliance introduces the new Alliance 768 Value Plus tire for pivot irrigation systems. It is a completely new tire pattern which has been designed to provide effective grip and traction for constant loads being moved on fixed circular paths under moist or even muddy conditions.

Wide spacing of lugs ensures that the self-cleaning characteristics are maintained at all times, whilst rounded shoulders provide constant propulsion and protect the crop against damage at the same time. The strong nylon carcass allows for a prolonged and reliable live. Well known in hot and arid regions, pivot irrigation systems have to function reliably under most adverse conditions, such as high temperatures and highly intensive sun radiation. At the same time, soil and irrigated crops tend to make for a moist or even muddy working environment. That is why the Alliance 768 Value Plus features a special ozone compound which eliminates premature aging and cracking of the tread. As climate change continues, irrigation systems including pivot irrigation will also increasingly be needed in semi-arid regions, for example. The new 768 Value Plus is available in three sizes:  11.2-24, 14.9-24 and 11.2-38.
