The agriculture tire world has reacted to needing to be bigger and faster, and continues to improve overall performance.

Today’s agricultural tires resemble their predecessors in that they are still round and mainly made of rubber. Maintaining a tread and staying inflated may have been enough for years, but modern tire design parameters accounting for soil compaction, improved traction, tread wear, sidewall strength at super-low inflation rates and, increasingly, environmental concerns have permanently changed the way farm equipment engages the soil.

Continental has launched a new agriculture app aimed at the farming industry. With this app, users can verify the right pressure for their tires depending on the load, get tire recommendations based on specific tractors and more.
