Radial vs Bias Agricultural Tires

Radial agricultural tires

Radial farm tires generally provide a more flexible footprint, improved traction, lower soil pressure in suitable conditions and better road-transition behavior. They are often selected for higher-horsepower tractors and operations that value productivity and ride quality.

Bias agricultural tires

Bias tires can offer value, sidewall stiffness and rugged service for utility tractors, implements and cost-sensitive replacement markets. They remain relevant where the application does not require radial performance characteristics.

Selection data to request

The buyer should provide equipment model, current size, rim, axle load, speed, soil type, field/road split, stubble exposure and flotation needs. Final inflation must follow the approved load and inflation data.

Wholesale program planning

A strong agricultural tire program may combine radial R-1W sizes with bias replacement sizes. The correct mix depends on local farm machinery and dealer demand.
