Ascenso Tyres has introduced a new addition to its Very High Flexion (VF) tyre line-up, the VHR 3000, designed to meet the performance and efficiency demands of today’s agricultural sector.
VF tyres are becoming more prominent in modern farming due to their ability to support higher loads or operate at lower inflation pressures, offering both practical and environmental benefits. According to Ascenso, the VHR 3000 can carry 40% more load than conventional radial tyres or operate at 40% lower pressure while maintaining the same load capacity. This significantly reduces soil compaction—a key factor in crop health and long-term field productivity.
The VHR 3000 is built with a focus on traction, fuel efficiency, and durability, making it suitable for a range of agricultural machinery including tractors and sprayers.
Key features include:
▪ Stronger lugs and a larger contact patch that improve traction and self-cleaning in muddy or loose soil conditions
▪ A tread design that reduces slippage to help lower fuel consumption
▪ Reinforced sidewalls and steel belts for greater resistance to punctures and better distribution of ground pressure
▪ Adaptability across various field conditions and equipment types
The tyre has been developed in line with Ascenso’s push to support agricultural productivity through advanced tyre engineering. VF technology allows farmers to do more with less—whether that’s hauling heavier loads or protecting soil structure through lower pressures.
This launch reinforces Ascenso’s growing role in the agricultural tyre market, where VF solutions are gaining traction among farmers looking to increase output while minimising environmental impact.

What is the Ascenso VHR 3000 tyre used for?
The Ascenso VHR 3000 is a Very High Flexion (VF) agricultural tyre designed for tractors, sprayers, and other field machinery. It helps farmers manage heavier loads or reduce tyre pressure without sacrificing performance.
What are the benefits of the Ascenso VHR 3000 VF tyre?
This VF tyre offers up to 40% more load capacity or allows 40% lower inflation pressure compared to standard radial tyres. Key benefits include reduced soil compaction, better crop protection, improved fuel efficiency, and longer tyre life.
Why is VF technology important in farming tyres?
Very High Flexion (VF) tyres like the Ascenso VHR 3000 are engineered to flex more under load, distributing weight more evenly. This reduces ground pressure, helps preserve soil health, and supports higher productivity on farms.
How does the Ascenso VHR 3000 reduce soil compaction?
By allowing lower air pressure without reducing load capacity, the VHR 3000 spreads the machine’s weight over a larger area. This minimises deep rutting and soil damage, improving root development and yield potential.
Is the VHR 3000 suitable for all field conditions?
Yes, the VHR 3000 has a wide contact patch and aggressive lug design for excellent traction and self-cleaning. It performs well in wet, muddy, or dry soil conditions and is built to handle varied terrain.
Does the VHR 3000 improve fuel efficiency?
Yes. The tyre’s strong grip reduces slippage, which means less energy is wasted. Lower rolling resistance helps save fuel during field operations and transport.
What features make the Ascenso VHR 3000 durable?
It includes reinforced sidewalls and steel belts to resist punctures and maintain consistent ground pressure distribution. This leads to longer service life and fewer tyre failures in the field.
Where can I buy the Ascenso VHR 3000 tyre?
The Ascenso VHR 3000 is available through authorised Ascenso agricultural tyre dealers. More product details are available at: https://ascensotyres.com/products/agriculture/vhr-3000/
