Make sure you are getting what you have paid for with your next tyre and track purchase advises Big Tyre who specialises in quality rubber brands
With growers about to embark on a busy Winter season, it’s a time when tyre and track replacements come to the fore and many operators will have to choose between cheap brands or quality products that will cost a little more.
Some brands of tyres and tracks simply last a lot longer than others because of the quality of the rubber used and the secretive science several manufacturers use to attain longevity. But not everybody has the formula.
High quality rubber formulas are guarded closely to protect the brand name. As you would expect, tyres and tracks built with quality compounds are often more expensive to manufacture.
Cheap tyres and tracks are cheap not only because they are made in countries with lower wages, but also because they often use lower-quality rubber compounds.
This season, take a closer look at the difference in the rubber compound and consider the cut, tear and abrasion resistance. It needs to be the right hardness, have high stretch capacity and high breaking strength.
Getting all these qualities shod onto your machine will be worth it even if the original product cost is higher. Because the end result will mean a longer working life with a lower overall running cost.
And probably more importantly, not having the headache and expense of downtime due to a failed product when you need to have your equipment up and running at full pelt in the paddock at busy times throughout the season.
