Tire Features All-New Tread Design TIRES/WHEELS Miscellaneous 25-1-25 Farmers at the show crowded around these new tires which have a tread design unlike anything on the market.
Lugs are closer together at the center and farther apart at the outer edges of the tires. Because the lugs are closer together at the center, there's more surface contact so the tires ride more smoothly on the road, especially at high speeds. The manufacturer says there's 10 percent less rolling resistance on the road.
The increased distance between lugs at the outer edges of the tires boosts traction because the tires self-clean better. Also, the lugs are longer than normal, running farther out onto the shoulders of low-pressure tires.
