Vredestein introduces the VF Flotation Optimall tyre, developed to better preserve the soil underneath heavy slurry tankers and agricultural trailers. The Optimall is a premium tyre solution that raises the bar in terms of soil preservation, grassland-friendliness and self-cleaning.

The Flotation Optimall features a high flexion (VF) steel belted construction, based on the Vredestein’s proven F+ technology. This flexible and strong carcass is ensuring a large and evenly distributed footprint at low inflation pressure, achieving maximum soil preservation. As all Vredestein tyres with F+ technology, the Flotation Optimall is compatible with central tyre inflation systems (CTIS).

In the tread zone, smooth and chamfered tread blocks in combination with rounded shoulders preserve the grassland structure, especially while turning on headlands. The directional tread pattern design is featured by unique non-parallel curved blocks towards the outside. This characteristic shape, proven by Apollo Tyres’ renowned Vredestein Traxion tyres, guarantees superb self-cleaning properties on all soil types, keeping the roads clean and safe.

The new Flotation Optimall will be available from spring 2023 onwards in 7 sizes:

VF 710/45 R 22.5 IMP TL 170D

VF 600/55 R 26.5 IMP TL 170D

VF 710/50 R 26.5 IMP TL 176D

VF 750/45 R 26.5 IMP TL 176D

VF 800/45 R 26.5 IMP TL 179D

VF 710/50 R 30.5 IMP TL 178D

VF 750/60 R 30.5 IMP TL 187D
