      TractorMaster: Advanced tire with new d.fine lug technology

      All official SmartTour tractors from the A and N to the T and S series will be equipped with the Continental TractorMaster. The tire is the latest addition to the Continental agricultural tire portfolio. The TractorMaster comes with a flexible N.flex carcass and specially developed single-wire bead technology. The high elongation of the nylon material used for the carcass makes the tire robust and impact-resistant. The special bead design with a single-wire bead enables high deflection performance of the sidewall, ensuring very low soil compaction. A completely newly developed lug technology called d.fine with a five-percent-larger lug surface than standard tires ensures high tire mileage.
