IF, VF, and Road Rated Farm Tires

As farm equipment manufacturers continue to introduce larger, heavier and more powerful equipment each year, the space in which to fit the tire has not changed. This has necessitated that the tire industry move toward new technologies that allow the same size tire to carry heavier loads at lower inflation pressures. Definitions: IF – Increased Flexion VF – Very High Flexion CFO- Cyclical Field Operation LSW- Low Sidewall VF technology comes standard in all LSW tires. With farming landscapes changing to accommodate infrastructure and fields increasing in size, travel distance requirements for machinery is increasing. Therefore, the best upgrade to consider is a D speed rated tire which allows for travel speeds of up to 65 KPH. Faster and smoother transport speeds between fields can also be achieved with reduced road lope technologies found in all LSW tires. Contact a Fountain Tire Associate if you have any questions.
