Low-Noise Agricultural Tires for Maximum Driving Comfort – Interpneu AG
Quieter tires significantly improve the driving experience for farmers. But what factors cause the most noise, and how can specialized agricultural tires reduce it? Interpneu AG presents solutions that minimize noise levels.
Which Off-Road Tire is Particularly Quiet?
Many farmers ask themselves which is the quietest model when choosing their tires. Based on studies on tread design, BKT presents two tires that are optimally suited for low-noise agricultural applications: AGRIMAX V-FLECTO and RIDEMAX IT 697 (M+S).
Why Quiet Tires are Crucial for Farmers
Quiet tires significantly increase driving comfort, especially during long transport journeys. BKT has recognized the importance of low-noise tires and developed special products that significantly reduce noise emissions without compromising performance.
How Do Tire Noises Occur?
Most noise does not originate directly from the tire but from the interaction between the tire and the tractor. Vibrations generate high frequencies, often around 100 Hz, which become audible via the cabin or vehicle parts. Basically, two types of tire noise can be distinguished:
- Noise due to resonance between tire and vehicle
- Noise due to tread wear
Individual Solutions for Different Types of Noise
There is no tire that is completely silent. Noise reduction must be adapted to the respective use. BKT therefore offers two tires that are specifically tailored to different applications:
AGRIMAX V-FLECTO – Quiet High-Performance Tractor Tire
The AGRIMAX V-FLECTO features an innovative lug geometry and was designed for high-performance tractors. Thanks to VF technology, the load capacity can be optimized without increasing tire pressure. Lower pressure increases the ground contact area, reduces wear, and lowers noise emissions. Measurements in the cabin and on passing vehicles show a significant noise reduction compared to standard tires.
RIDEMAX IT 697 (M+S) – Ideal for Road Transport and All-Season Use
The RIDEMAX IT 697 (M+S) is specially developed for road transport, maintenance work, and street cleaning. Its tread design is based on industrial tire profiles and ensures even wear, low rolling resistance, and excellent stability. As an all-season tire, it can be reliably used in both snow and rain and is significantly quieter than conventional tires.
Expert Advice from Interpneu AG
Both AGRIMAX V-FLECTO and RIDEMAX IT 697 (M+S) offer ideal solutions for low-noise agricultural tires. When selecting, factors such as machine type, application area, performance, soil type, and other specific requirements should be considered. The experts at Interpneu AG are always available to advise you on finding the optimal tire for your operation.
