Goodyear India has launched its new Ultra Grip tractor tire, developed to meet the everyday requirements of Indian farmers and provide reliable performance across different agricultural conditions. The new tire combines traction, durability and handling to support farmers during a wide range of field operations. Goodyear said the Ultra Grip has been developed with Indian farming conditions in mind, with a focus on dependable performance across varied soils and terrains.
Arvind Bhandari, Managing Director, Goodyear India, said farmers need tractor tires that can deliver consistent performance throughout the year. He added that the Ultra Grip is designed to provide the grip, durability and control required for agricultural work in different operating environments.
The Ultra Grip features a rugged tread design intended to provide strong traction in challenging field conditions.
