Low shear strength in soft ground prevents efficient torque transfer, necessitating specific lug geometries and reinforcement layers to maintain soil grip.
Excessive working layer mass increases rolling resistance and reduces fuel efficiency in large-diameter radial tractor tires.
Rigid crop residue causes premature lug degradation and carcass perforation during high-speed transit across harvested fields.
Standard tread geometries fail to maintain shear strength on loose or saturated soil surfaces, leading to excessive wheel slip.
