Description
The VF 650/65R42 Bridgestone combination is a great option for both low-pressure or high weight capacity – being a VF tyre it can either run at 40% lower pressure or carry 40% higher weight (compared to a standard tyre).
The other low pressure 650mm wide Bridgestone option worth considering is the VF 650/75R38 Bridgestone (set code A0035-MF-2) – this will run at lower pressure and carry more weight than the VF 650/65R42 however it will also cost more.
The maximum weights these tyres can carry is as follows:
Rear: 175D/172E 6900kg up to 65kmh or 6300kg up to 70kmh
Front: 159D/156E 4375kg up to 65kmh or 4000kg up to 70kmh
The Bridgestone VT-Tractor is a VF tyre, designed to run at low pressure. Below are the weights you can carry with these Bridgestone tyres at the lowest pressure possible.
Rear: At 9psi (0.6bar) this tyre will carry 3365kg up to 50kmh
Front: At 9psi (0.6 bar) this tyre will carry 2460kg up to 50kmh
