Is it worth specifically acquiring winter tires for tractors? After a recent test in Finland, this cannot be a question.
Road vehicles transitioned to the winter tire period weeks ago. For those who regularly travel long distances, it is advisable to switch their summer or even all-season tires to winter ones. Products specifically designed for colder conditions maintain their elasticity even in severe minus temperatures, thereby guaranteeing shorter braking distances and better vehicle control in case of skidding.
Agricultural tractors are significantly less used from November to February, but they can be deployed for transport or yard tasks at any time. Therefore, it is worthwhile to equip them with tires suitable for winter conditions as well, if only because manufacturers also focus significant attention on these products.
BKT, known as the main sponsor of the Tractor of the Year competition, recently introduced a tire called RIDEMAX FROST.
