Mitas introduces Terraguard, the new VF (Very High Flexion) implement tire range engineered to carry higher loads at lower pressure. The new tire is aimed to protecting soil structure, thus safeguarding productivity of the soil.

Engineered to carry high loads while operating at lower inflation pressures, Terraguard adapts effectively to ground contours, ensuring stable behavior, a consistent footprint performing across uneven terrain, both during field operations and road transport.

Its square shoulder design further maximizes the footprint and contributes to high stability, while the reinforced sidewall construction enhances lateral stability, particularly during road transportation.

The optimized VF radial construction and tread geometry of the tire help reduce rolling resistance, enabling smoother operations and improved energy efficiency.
At the same time, the tire’s ability to distribute weight more evenly across a larger contact area limits soil compaction, helping protect soil structure and support higher operational productivity over long working days.

A distinctive sawtooth tread pattern further enhances performance by balancing rolling efficiency with controlled traction, stability, reduced vibration and reliability across a wide range of cultivation tasks and operating conditions.

“Modern agricultural operations require implement tires that do more than simply carry weight,” said Roberta D’Agnano, Marketing Director Mitas at Yokohama TWS. “With the Terraguard, we combined advanced VF technology with a tread design that actively supports efficiency and soil protection.”

The range is initially available in size VF 295/75R22.5 TL IMP 158D, with additional sizes planned for future release.
