THIS WOULD have been a testing year for the new Alliance 128 High Speed Flotation tyre for trailers and spreaders.

It features an innovative tread pattern which combines shoulder lugs for high tractive force, centre-rib lugs for a smooth ride and low rolling resistance as well as rounded shoulders for efficient soil protection.

The Alliance brand owner, ATG, collaborated with Claas in Germany to develop the tyre, with soil protection and longevity key aims.

The end result, the Alliance 128 HS will be available in size 800/35-22.5 LI 162B and is suitable for both high speed work at up to 65kph (40mph) and in-field operations because of its high load carrying capacity and low inflation pressure.
