Alliance Tire adds to forestry tire line

Oct. 11, 2010

Alliance Tire Group has introduced a new forestry tire for tractors and flotation forestry equipment, the Alliance Forestar 342.

The tire is available in size 600/60R28, "which has the same rolling circumference as the popular 540/65R28, but offers a wider, 600-mm profile for greater stability," according to Alliance officials.

The Forestar 342 contains several lug elements, including inter-lug reinforcement, which protects the tire from rocks and branches; a central lug bridge to reinforce the tread and improve performance on hard surfaces; and "an optimum lug angle for excellent traction and long service life."

Other features include sharp shoulders for enhanced traction, plus steel-belted tread and reinforced sidewalls for stability and resistance to cuts and punctures.
