Soil-Friendly Innovations on Display at LAMMA 2025

Alliance by Yokohama-ATG (Y-ATG) presented its cutting-edge Agriflex+ tyre range at LAMMA 2025, held in Birmingham. The launch included new additions tailored for high-demand agricultural machinery like sprayers and slurry applicators. These tyres address dual challenges: handling increased weight due to liquid fertiliser and ensuring smooth travel over long distances.

Innovative Tyre Features

The Agriflex+ 363 XT, now part of the range, is engineered for row crop applications. Its unique design offers:

  • A bridged lug tread pattern, ensuring both smooth road travel and superior traction at low tyre pressures.
  • D-speed ratings for higher road speeds.
  • Very High Flexion (VF) technology, enabling up to 40% lower tyre pressures for reduced soil compaction and enhanced durability, bolstered by steel belt puncture protection.

For multi-axle slurry applicators, Y-ATG introduced the Agriflex+ 377 XT. With widths from 650 mm to 1050 mm, these tyres meet the demands of contractors who balance road use and heavy fieldwork, supporting machinery up to 31 tonnes without compromising soil health.

Milestone for Agri Star II

Y-ATG also celebrated a major sales milestone for the Agri Star II tyre range. Featuring Stratified Layer Technology, these tyres maintain consistent traction throughout their lifecycle, ensuring efficiency and cost savings for users.

Endorsement from Olly Harrison

Merseyside-based farm contractor and influencer Olly Harrison  has extensively tested Alliance tyres on his Fendt tractors. He praised their ability to operate at lower pressures, which increases the tyre's contact area, reduces soil compaction, and improves fuel efficiency. Harrison highlighted the longevity provided by Stratified Layer Technology, noting, “It is a lot smarter than what it first looks like.”
