New: Alliance Agriflex+ 393XT – innovative steel-belted VF flotation tire for agricultural transport

• Yokohama-ATG introduces the Agriflex+ 393XT, a steel-belted radial flotation tire for agricultural machines like tankers, trailers, and balers.

• The Agriflex+ 393XT features VF technology, allowing for heavy load transport with 40% less inflation pressure, enhancing soil protection.

• The tire's non-directional block pattern with spaced grooves ensures efficient self-cleaning and superior on- and off-road performance.

• Key markets for the Agriflex+ 393XT include Germany, Benelux, and the US, where it supports effective slurry transport and distribution.

• Initial size VF900/65R32 is available now, with additional sizes VF620/75R26 and VF800/60R32 expected by Q2 2025.

Optimal solution for tankers, trailers and balers to enhance productivity / Innovative high-performance tire for an important niche segment / D speed rating for quick road transfers and VF flotation technology for effective soil protection in the field / Made for heavy loads and a long tire life /

With the new Agriflex+ 393XT, Yokohama-ATG (Y-ATG) introduces a cutting-edge radial flotation tire for agricultural machines such as tankers, trailers and balers. Designed for outstanding performance both on- and off-road, the robust steel-belted construction ensures superior durability and handling. As latest-generation flotation tire with VF technology, the Agriflex+ 393XT allows for the transport of heavy loads in fields while using 40% less inflation pressure compared to standard tires. The non-directional block pattern with spaced grooves between the blocks guarantees efficient self-cleaning. Constructed for longer lifetime and lower downtime, the Agriflex+ 393XT is made for equally fast and smooth operations and an extended lifespan.

Niche segment – yet important in key markets

In Germany, Benelux and the US for example, slurry tankers are frequently used to transport and spread liquid manure from livestock to fields. The objective is to transport slurry quickly and effectively on the road whilst distributing the vehicle’s weight across a large footprint in the field. Therefore, the large volume of the 393XT ensures a high load carrying capacity and low soil pressure. Ideally spaced grooves between the tread blocks allow for efficient self-cleaning. Furthermore, the steel-belted construction avoids punctures, extends the lifespan and minimises downtime. Inter-block bridges ensure equally low and uniform tread wear. Durability, good stability, and good driving comfort also are among the key characteristics of the new Agriflex+ 393XT.

In a first step, size VF900/65R32 is available with immediate effect. Sizes VF620/75R26 and VF800/60R32 are currently under development and are expected to be released in the second quarter of 2025.

Benefits Alliance Agriflex+ 393XT
