Nokian Tyres launches Intuitu 2.0, the next-generation of smart tire technology, featuring smart pressure assistant with load-sensing. Farmers can get tire pressure recommendations on the go, based on the tractor’s actual operating weight and use conditions, using just a tire sensor and a smartphone.
The new Intuitu 2.0 for Soil King VF tires introduces load-sensing technology to provide precise tire pressure recommendations based on the tractor’s actual operating weight and usage conditions. The technology, first launched in 2019, is available exclusively with Soil King VF tires With sensors installed in the inner liner of the tires, the system measures the load being carried. In the Intuitu mobile app, the user selects the working conditions, and within moments the recommended pressures for road and field use are displayed. There is no need for specialized knowledge to calculate the tractor’s operating weight with implements and ballasting — all necessary data is available in one place, ensuring informed decisions.
“Without the Intuitu Smart Pressure Assistant, determining the correct tire pressure requires significant time, expertise, and access to costly equipment such as weighbridges, axle scales, or digital tools that demand detailed input. Since this process must be repeated every time the tractor’s implements and ballasting change, it is too easily skipped altogether. As a result, farmers miss out on the full benefits of VF tires,” says Matthew Crocker, Product Manager at Nokian Tyres.
Intuitu 2.0 was one of the Silver Medal winners of the Agritechnica Innovation Award selected by an independent jury of experts. A Silver Medal is awarded to innovations that represent a significant improvement to an existing product or process, have practical relevance and demonstrate enhanced reliability and efficiency, and have a positive environmental impact.
Correct tire pressure critical factor
Tire pressure plays a crucial role in agricultural performance, yet it is often overlooked. With Intuitu 2.0, farmers can benefit from premium Soil King VF tires by ensuring the correct pressure in every situation. This means improved power transfer, lower fuel consumption, minimized soil compaction, and extended tire life. Intuitu 2.0 will be available across all sizes of the Nokian Tyres Soil King VF tire range.
Soil King VF received an award by the DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft) for its performance in both field work and transport, delivering high tractive performance and the low specific fuel consumption under identical test conditions. Pairing this tire with Intuitu 2.0 ensures farmers can consistently achieve these benefits in real-world operations.
