"It starts with the unique curvature of the tread cleats," says Ruud Nijland, Divisional Head Sales for agricultural and industrial tyres Europe at Apollo Vredestein.

"The cleats from all our tractor tyres from the Vredestein Traxion range are positioned transversely to the direction of travel in the shoulder – ensuring maximum traction and reduced fuel consumption in the field – and oriented almost in the direction of travel in the middle of the tyre, reducing rolling resistance, noise and vibrations. The space between the cleats increases from the centerline to the shoulder, which means they are not parallel to each other, thereby not allowing the soil to get stuck in‑between. But most importantly the special compound of the Traxion tyres offers unmatched wear resistance and extra resistance to damage and punctures, which results into 30% longer service life than competitors' tyres".
