Description
If you’re wanting to reduce compaction and increase flotation this Bridgestone set is the very best option available. At 900mm wide, the 900/50R42 tyre is the widest flotation wheel you can get while still keeping under 3m road width. Being VF tyres, you can lower the pressures to 40% lower than a standard tyre, or 20% lower pressure than the BKT IF equivalent.
If you’re looking for the best option in flotation and low ground pressure? Look no further.
Load Ratings & Tyre Pressures
The maximum weights these tyres can carry is as follows:
Rear: 180D/177E, will carry 8000kg up to 65kmh or 7300kg up to 70kmh
Front: 159D/156E, will carry 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 4400kg up to 50kmh
