Flotation radia Notation radial means efficiency with respect for the environment. A low profile radial flotation tyre has wide contact area, which creates less surface pressure on soil compared with diagonal tyres. Right tyre pressure, radial structure and optimal tread pattern keep the fields productive by giving less soil compaction. Low rolling resistance in flotation radials saves up to 20 % in fuel compared with diagonal tyres.
