Agricultural Tires Technical Data Book

Preface This data book contains comprehensive information on our tire range. We recommend checking the inflation pressure of every tire and adjusting it regularly. Lower inflation pressure, greater loads or higher speeds than those recommended by the vehicle or tire manufacturer shorten the service life of the tire. These instructions must be followed if vehicle safety – and that of the safety of those fitting the tires – is to be guaranteed. For further information, please see our safety instructions. Continental’s agricultural tires conform to internationally accepted standards that are...

Agricultural Tire Portfolio Introduction Agricultural tires from Continental - products that stem from innovation, expertise and tradition: In 1928, Continental launched the very first pneumatic tractor tire in Europe. Almost 90 years later, the technology company reentered the business after an absence of 13 years In 2017. A brand-new portfolio of agricultural tires and a new production site in Lousado, Portugal mark a new decade of agricultural tire technology at Continental. The products Starting off the product offensive in 2017, we have continuously expanded our tire portfolio: The...

Agricultural Tire Portfolio This table is based on the SRI (Speed Radius Index).The SRI is, by convention, a parameter of the theoretical speed of vehicles for a potential change in tire size. The SRI is not equivalent to the rolling circumference and cannot be used as, or converted into, an actual measurable value of rolling circumference. When changing tire size, it is necessary to check the compatibility of rim parameters and measurements, technical parameters and the regulations provided by the vehicle manufacturers.

Bringing home the harvest together. With tires you can trust.

As a premium tire and solution provider with a long heritage, Engineered for Efficiency describes the core of our agricultural tires: Depending on the specific needs of the various vehicles, customers and applications, our tires enhance the performance of the vehicle and improve the quality of its work while reducing the resources deployed. Our tires are manufactured with state-of-the-art technology in our most modern production site in Lousado and were developed based upon in-depth research as well as the long-term expertise and inventiveness of our engineers.

N.flex Carcass Technology Unique N.flex carcass technology The carcass‘ patented material is flexible enough to absorb impact and then return to its original shape without permanent deformation. This ensures long-term robustness and rounder tires for a comfortable ride. A vast reduction in flat spots means an end to bumpydrives in the morning. ›› High impact resistance due to high elongation of nylon ›› High robustness: carcass structure absorbs impact energy without break

Bead Technology The bead is essential to a tire, because it’s what keeps it on the rim. Made of a single piece of wire, our beads are sturdy, compact, and keep their shape. Rectangular bead core The rectangular bead core design is optimized for the high torques of tractor tires and the rear axle tires during all-wheel-drive of combine harvesters. ›› The optimized contours of the apex enable a high degree of sidewall deflection. Hexa bead core The hexa bead core has been especially designed for the front tires of combine harvesters. ›› The carcass material wraps around the core better for...

d.fine Pattern Technology The lugs – specifically developed to stand their ground Our new lugs refuse to give way: they firmly grip the ground beneath the tire to keep driving the tractor forward without slipping. The large surface area and further special touches provide high performance and extremely robust tires adapted to each specific application. Deep lug overlap Benefits on the road: ›› Comfortable drive, less vibration Smooth linkage between block and base Benefits: ›› Stress resistant, damage resistant ›› Optimum self-cleaning ›› Traction 5% more lug surface compared to standard...

Single Vehicle Monitoring ›› Provides drivers with precise status information by continually monitoring air pressure and temperature via tire sensor ›› Data displayed in drivers cab ›› Alerts before a condition becomes crucial ›› Driver-focused system ›› Can be integrated into third party telematics solutions Application ›› Suitable for single vehicles in various vehicles and applications Multiple Vehicle Monitoring ›› System overviews fleet and delivers in-time maintenance data ›› Alerts before a condition becomes crucial ContiConnect™ light ContiConnect™ Yard ContiConnect™ Live ››...

Pneumatic Radial vs. X-ply Construction X-ply Tires Radial (Belt) Tire ›› Carcass consisting of defined number of layers, each layer with crossing orientation of carcass cords (= high stiffness) ›› Carcass consisting of defined numbers of layers, but layers all in radial orientation (more flexible) ›› Sidewall carcass material as stiff as tread carcass material (high rolling resistance) ›› Outer carcass radius covered by stiffer belt ›› Round cut section shape of carcass ›› (small) Elliptic foot print area ›› Cut section shape more edgy than bias type ›› Sometimes additional belt as tread...
