Trelleborg and BKT unveil four agricultural tyres at EIMA 2026, while Mitas showcases its GRANTERRA tractor range.
Four new agricultural tyre products from Trelleborg Tires and BKT are among the developments being presented at EIMA International 2026, taking place in Bologna, Italy, from 10 to 14 November.
Trelleborg has introduced specialist solutions for combine harvesters and centre-pivot irrigation systems, while BKT has unveiled two tyres designed for agricultural machinery operating across field and road conditions.
Mitas is also exhibiting its GRANTERRA range for high-horsepower tractors, first introduced at Agritechnica in November 2025.
The developments highlight different approaches to improving traction, managing agricultural machinery loads and limiting soil compaction.
Trelleborg Tires unveiled two new products during a press conference on 10 November at Hall 14, Stand B2, addressing separate requirements in harvesting and irrigation.
The CR3000 harvesting tyre has been developed for high-powered combine harvesters operating in demanding field conditions.
Its construction incorporates Trelleborg's Off-Stubble Technology, combining a dedicated rubber compound with an optimised tyre structure intended to improve resistance to damage caused by crop residues.
An interlug tread design is intended to improve self-cleaning and maintain traction across different soil conditions.
The CR3000 also incorporates VF-CFO (Very High Flexion, Cyclic Field Operation) technology, enabling the tyre to accommodate higher cyclic loads during harvesting while supporting operation at pressures intended to limit soil compaction.
Trelleborg says these features are designed to improve tyre durability and reduce interruptions during harvesting operations.
The second introduction, PneuTrac Aqua, targets centre-pivot irrigation systems, where tyres frequently operate in saturated soil over extended periods.
The airless design combines Trelleborg's PneuTrac carcass with an Omega-shaped sidewall incorporating Galileo Wheel's CupWheel technology.
Trelleborg has also integrated its ProgressiveTraction tread design to provide grip in wet conditions.
The manufacturer describes the construction as puncture-proof and maintenance-free, with the aim of reducing tyre-related interruptions during irrigation cycles. These are manufacturer-stated benefits rather than independently verified performance findings.
BKT has introduced two agricultural tyre products at Hall 36, Stand B1, with both featuring sidewall designs developed in collaboration with Italian design company Pininfarina.
AGRIMAX HYFLEX combines VF (Very High Flexion) construction with PFO (Pressure Field Operations) technology.
The tyre is intended to support higher loads at reduced inflation pressures during qualifying field operations, helping distribute machinery weight across a larger contact area.
Its tread incorporates rounded blocks designed to limit damage to grassland during manoeuvring, while providing lateral grip on sloping terrain.
BKT has also focused on road performance, with tread characteristics intended to support driving comfort, wear resistance and lower rolling resistance.
The second introduction, V-FUSION, has been developed for machinery requiring a combination of road transport and field operation.
Applications identified by BKT include forage harvesters, balers and manure spreaders.
Its directional tread includes central blocks intended to support stability and comfort during road travel, particularly on agricultural machinery with a relatively high centre of gravity.
Rounded shoulders, lateral lugs and an open central tread arrangement are designed to promote self-cleaning and reduce damage to the soil surface.
Mitas is exhibiting its GRANTERRA agricultural tyre range, developed for high-horsepower tractors requiring traction and load-carrying capability during demanding field operations.
Unlike the new Trelleborg and BKT products, GRANTERRA was originally introduced at Agritechnica in November 2025.
The range combines VF-PFO technology with reinforced carcass construction and a newly developed tread pattern.
According to Mitas, the design provides a wider ground-contact area, enabling lower-pressure field operation while supporting traction and soil protection.
Alongside its two launches, Trelleborg is displaying established products including TM800 PowerFlex, TM3000 VF and TM1000 ProgressiveTraction.
The company is also promoting a certified tread-wear performance warranty covering up to 5,000 working hours on selected agricultural tyres, subject to eligibility and registration conditions.
BKT is exhibiting additional AGRIMAX V-FLECTO sizes, including VF 710/60 R44 and VF 600/65 R30, developed as part of its collaboration with Massey Ferguson for the MF 7S Mark 2 tractor.
Mitas is presenting additional agricultural products including AGRITERRA ULTRA and its newer TERRAGUARD implement tyre range.
EIMA International 2026 continues until Saturday 14 November, bringing together agricultural machinery and component manufacturers from across the industry.
