Hybrid Tyres for Road and Field – Are They Really Worth It?
Do you use your tractor both in the field and on paved roads? Then you know: Both areas place very different demands on tyres. But the question is – are modern hybrid tyres a sensible solution for both use profiles, or should one continue to rely on specialised tractor tyres? Interpneu AG provides you with the most important answers here.
Modern Agriculture: Increasing Demands on Tractor Tyres
While in the past largely the same standard tyres were fitted for every application, today's tasks and machines are significantly more demanding. In the field, low tyre pressure is needed to protect the soil and achieve maximum traction. On the road, on the other hand, higher pressures are required to ensure stability, comfort, and durability.
What Characterises Hybrid / Mixed Tyres?
A Concept for Two Application Areas
Hybrid tyres were specially developed to combine the requirements of road and field work. Thanks to modern tread designs and innovative tyre technology, they are flexibly applicable.
How They Work in Detail
- Low air pressure in the field: larger contact area, better traction, less soil compaction.
- High air pressure on the road: high mileage, less wear, lower fuel consumption.
Which Tyre Types Are Suitable for Mixed Use?
1. Hybrid Tyres – The Versatile Solution
If you often switch between fields and roads, hybrid tyres are the best choice. They offer balanced performance in both work areas and function excellently in combination with CTIS. Interpneu AG offers a wide selection of modern hybrid treads.
2. Road-Oriented Tyres with Field Suitability
If you primarily drive transport routes, you benefit from road-optimised tyres. They offer high driving comfort, low wear, and solid performance for light fieldwork.
3. Field-Oriented Tyres with Road Approval
For farms that mainly work in the field, field tyres with maximum traction are the right choice. Despite their field focus, modern models are roadworthy and stable enough for short journeys.
Alternative for Smaller Vehicles and Special Machines
For compact tractors, yard loaders, telehandlers, or municipal vehicles, special all-round tyres are suitable. They were developed for versatile use on roads, meadows, or in winter.
