Trelleborg Tires launches the TM800 PowerFlex, engineered to maximize performance, both in the field and on the road. The tire is available in the mid- to high horsepower tractor range.

At the heart of the TM800 PowerFlex is a combination of VF-PFO (Very High Flexion – Pressure Field Operations) construction and Trelleborg Tires’ patented ProgressiveTraction lug design, working together to ensure the best possible traction and flotation in even tough field conditions. At the same time, a newly developed central rib, inspired by road tire geometry, provides enhanced stability, steering precision and driving comfort during long-distance transport, without compromising durability or grip.

Recent field tests revealed up to 20% more traction compared to other tires, helping to minimize slippage and increase efficiency on soft or wet soil. Its 5% wider footprint reduces soil compaction, preserving yield potential and improving sustainability. In wet conditions, the redesigned interlug terraces demonstrated 5% better self-cleaning, ensuring consistent performance and reducing downtime.

The TM800 PowerFlex showed a 6% reduction in rolling resistance on the road, directly translating into lower fuel consumption. Twenty percent longer tire life, brings greater cost-efficiency and enhances daily working comfort.

Compared to standard tire construction, VF-PFO technology offers a tangible edge during low-speed field operations. It supports 17% more constant load at 10 km/h, and up to 40% more load at the same inflation pressure, increasing operational capacity without compromising tire durability, safety or driving comfort.

To support smarter farming, each TM800 PowerFlex tire includes an integrated QR code, allowing users to easily access digital product information, technical specifications, and usage recommendations directly from the field.

Trelleborg Tires now offers a certified tread wear performance of up to 5,000 hours on the TM800 PowerFlex and other selected rear tires within the ProgressiveTraction range.

Now available in two sizes (650/65R38 and 540/65R28), the TM800 PowerFlex will be released in four additional sizes rolling out progressively in the upcoming months, ensuring wide compatibility with the most commonly used mid to high-powered tractor models worldwide.
