New sizes are especially suited for small tractors

The block-patterned Nokian TRI 2 has a reliable, gentle grip on the varied contracting tasks in agriculture, industry, and road and environment maintenance. The new sizes, 270/75R15, 250/75R16, and 250/80R16 are especially suited for small tractors. These puncture resistant special products with excellent grip are a handy choice for property maintenance and grass field care. The newcomer, TRI 2 620/80R42, on the other hand, is aimed at heavier contracting. The arrow-shaped tread and strong, firm structure guarantee excellent grip even in soft terrain or wet conditions. High load-bearing capacity and a comfortable and stable, car-like driving feel simplify the everyday work of the contractor, all year round.

This reliable contractor's companion is known for its eco-friendliness. It treats the surface gently and cleans effortlessly, ensuring that the machines do not carry soil onto roads. The eco-friendliness of the special tyre is further enhanced by low tyre noise and low rolling resistance, which reduces fuel consumption.

The Nokian TRI 2 is at its best when the machine is used for driving and working at the same time. The effortlessly cleaning tyre works reliably and fast, also during transfers. It has a speed class of D=65 km/h.

The Nokian ELS Radial agriculture tyre achieved excellent results in a fuel consumption test performed for flotation tyres. The test included two models of Nokian ELS Radial tyres (750/60R30.5 and 750/55R34) and three competing tyres. If the fuel consumption of the Nokian ELS Radial tyres is set at 100 per cent, the competitors scored 101%, 103%, and 109%.

If the annual working time is 2,000 hours, the competitors consume 400, 1,200, and 3,200 litres more fuel than the Nokian ELS Radial tyres. On an annual level, the competitors generated €600, €1,800, and €4,800 more costs, respectively. The independent comparison test was performed by Agrifood Research Finland. The round-shoulder Nokian ELS Radial tyre is designed for use on the field; it is the best choice especially when driving more on the field than on the road.
