This tire combines durability, superior traction, and efficiency to enhance productivity in challenging field and road conditions. Here’s a detailed overview of its specifications, features, and benefits:

Tire Specifications:

1. Tire Model:
   • Alliance AgriStar II: A series known for offering excellent performance, durability, and traction, designed specifically for agricultural machinery.
2. Size Details:
   • 460/85 R38 (18.4R38):
     • 460: Tire width in millimeters.
     • 85: Aspect ratio (sidewall height is 85% of the tire width).
     • R38: Radial tire designed to fit a 38-inch rim.
     • 18.4R38: This is the alternative designation, where 18.4 inches refers to the tire's width, equivalent to the 460 mm width in the metric system.
3. Load Index and Speed Rating:
   • 167D:
     • 167: Load index, indicating the tire’s maximum load capacity. A 167 load index corresponds to a load-carrying capacity of 4,800 kg (10,585 lbs) per tire at the recommended inflation pressure.
     • D: Speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tire can safely sustain. In this case, the D rating corresponds to a maximum speed of 65 km/h (40 mph).
4. Construction:
   • Radial (R): Radial construction ensures superior flexibility, better traction, and longer-lasting durability compared to bias-ply tires, providing a smoother ride and improved performance under heavy loads.

Key Features:

1. Advanced Tread Design:
   • The AgriStar II 460/85 R38 features a specialized tread pattern designed for maximum traction, self-cleaning capabilities, and durability in diverse field conditions, from dry and compacted soils to wet and muddy ground.
2. Enhanced Durability:
   • This tire is built with reinforced sidewalls and a strong radial carcass, providing enhanced resistance to cuts, punctures, and wear, making it ideal for heavy-duty agricultural applications.
3. Low Soil Compaction:
   • The large footprint of the tire helps to distribute the weight evenly, which reduces soil compaction and minimizes the impact on soil structure, preserving soil health and promoting optimal crop growth.
4. Improved Traction and Stability:
   • With its R-1W tread pattern, the AgriStar II provides deeper lugs (about 20% deeper than standard R-1 tires), offering excellent traction and stability even in tough field conditions.
   • The self-cleaning tread pattern ensures continuous traction even in wet or muddy conditions.
5. Fuel Efficiency:
   • The tire features low rolling resistance, helping reduce fuel consumption, which lowers operational costs during long hours of work in the field.
6. Versatility:
   • The AgriStar II 460/85 R38 is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of agricultural equipment, including tractors, sprayers, and harvesters, for both field and on-road transport.

Benefits:

• Superior Traction: Provides optimal grip in various soil conditions, ensuring safe and efficient operation in fields.
• Long-Lasting Durability: Reinforced construction and advanced tread design result in a long-lasting tire that resists wear and damage.
• Reduced Soil Compaction: The wide footprint and radial design help reduce pressure on the soil, preserving soil structure and improving crop yields.
• Fuel Savings: Low rolling resistance reduces fuel consumption, contributing to lower overall operating costs.
• Comfort and Stability: The radial construction provides a smoother ride, better stability, and enhanced comfort for operators.
• High Load Capacity: Can support heavy loads, making it ideal for high-performance agricultural machinery.

The Alliance AgriStar II 460/85 R38 (18.4R38) 167D is an excellent choice for farmers and operators looking for a reliable, high-performance tire. Its combination of advanced tread design, low soil compaction, durability, and fuel efficiency makes it well-suited for modern agricultural machinery operating in demanding field conditions. Whether you're working in the field or on the road, this tire ensures maximum efficiency, productivity, and cost-effectiveness.
