Excellent grip, reduced soil compaction – Nokian Tyres expands the Float King VF product family to R26.5 sizes

Nokian Tyres responds to the growing demands of modern agriculture by expanding the Nokian Tyres Float King VF flotation tire family with five new R26.5 sizes. With this expansion, agricultural professionals now have even more options to improve work efficiency and reduce soil compaction.

Float King VF tires utilize the unique Nokian Tyres Flexforce® VF technology. The steel-belted, flexible carcass structure meets the VF (Very High Flexion) standard, delivering significant benefits for daily work:

• Higher load capacity at lower pressure: The Nokian Tyres Float King VF tire carries heavy loads at significantly lower pressures, reducing soil compaction and helping to maintain optimal field conditions.
• XXL-sized ground contact: Nokian Tyres Flexforce® VF technology ensures an exceptionally wide and evenly distributed footprint, optimizing ground pressure distribution especially on sensitive, soft and moisture-variable soils.
• Deep tread pattern: The specially designed deep tread pattern provides reliable grip and excellent self-cleaning properties, enabling efficient operation even in challenging field conditions.

“Farmers and contractors are constantly looking for ways to improve yield reliability and reduce operating costs. Expanding the Float King VF family into key R26.5 sizes further strengthens the range and is a direct response to these needs,” says Tero Saari, Product Manager at Nokian Tyres.
