Tractor & Construction Drive
R1 & R1W Agricultural Tractor Tyres
Also known as Tractive, Tractor Pattern and Open Centre. These tyres are found on farm machinery including tractors, backhoe loaders and telehandlers. R1W tyres (also called R1 ) have a slightly deeper tread and a wider contact area, offering better performance on the road and in wet conditions.
