Alliance Tyres is marking a pair of significant global milestones, with the products’ quality and longevity continuing to appeal to Australian farmers
Reaching one million sales of its trusted AgriStar II tyre in just five years and ticking 70 years of production are two reasons for Alliance Tyres to celebrate its achievements.
Such a sales milestone naturally means plenty of happy customers, particularly in an industry like agriculture where tyre performance is paramount.
A seven-year comprehensive warranty on the AgriStar II tyres further shows the manufacturer’s commitment to ensuring Australian farmers can purchase from Alliance with confidence that their tyres are ready to handle the nation’s demanding agricultural conditions and do so for the long haul.
At the essence of Alliance AgriStar II’s long-term popularity and success is a feature-packed tyre.
The tyre has more distinct features than any other brand in the same class, the manufacturer says, and these cover the areas most important to farmers.
Having spent 35 years making radial tyres, Alliance has the experience to know what farmers need in their radial tyres and how to implement it.
AgriStar II tyres feature Stratified Layered Technology (SLT) which is a dual-layered lug design where the top layer is a single angle profile and the bottom layer is a multi-angle profile.
These two distinctive lug profiles help to prolong traction and enhance roadability, while polyester casing construction ensures dimensional stability and heat resistance.
This, along with superior stubble guard compound, are among the reasons why Alliance has such confidence in its product and can offer such a comprehensive warranty.
Minimising soil compaction is a critical goal for most farmers when selecting tyres, and Alliance’s AgriStar II ensures this by providing wider tread width to give a higher contact area, which the company describes as being 13 per cent more than a standard radial tyre.
A smooth profile and lug angle nose design are also based around preventing crop damage, which in turn can lead to increased yields.
Aware of the need for farmers to use these tyres on roads as well as paddocks, AgriStar II tyres feature overlapping of the central lugs for superior roadability while the tyre’s design also prevents lug shuffling.
Roadability has also been factored in with the D Speed rating of up to 65km/h for usage in these environments.
More than 80 sizes covering aspects ratios from 65 to 95 are available, and AgriStar II also has deeper non-skid depth in most tyre sizes.
AgriStar II tyres also act as mud breakers and ensure self-cleaning, while also featuring dual step tie-bars and offering improved aesthetics.
It is worth reiterating Alliance tyres’ milestones as a reminder of how these features came about.
The brand’s 70th anniversary is testament to its ongoing engineering excellence and long-standing commitment to meeting the needs of the agricultural sector.
Ticking over one million sales of its hero product, the AgriStar II, and doing so in just five years also shows the level of trust placed in Alliance tyres by farmers needing reliability.
Combined with the impressive warranty offered and the product being readily available through local tyre dealerships around the country, the time is now to be part of AgriStar II’s next million.
Alliance tyres are available nationwide through local dealerships.
