Michelin VF CargoXBib tyre aims to reduce soil damage
Michelin’s VF high-floatation tyre has been redesigned to further reduce soil compaction from trailed implements.
The updated VF CargoXBib range comes in four sizes, including the VF 650/55 R26.5, VF 600/55 R26.5, VF 710/50 R26.5 and VF 750/60 R30.5.
All models feature Michelin’s Ultraflex technology, which increases the flexibility of the rubber to reduce the amount of impact on the soil.

The tyres also have a 23% larger footprint than the previous model, which allows them to be run at very low pressures.
The VF rating also means the tyre can carry 40% more load at the same pressure.
All models are compatible with central tyre inflation systems and have been designed for a range of field-going implements, including trailers, slurry tankers and spreaders.
They are available to order now.
