had a tractor drawer pull
superiority of 33 percent in
concrete, 23 in loam, 21 in
clay and 8 in sand.
In sand, for example, the
radial - ply tire developed
as much power efficiency
when slippage was 16 percent
as the conventional tire at 25
percent slippage.
Under high work loads,
when - friction was greatest,
(on concrete), the convent;
ional tire tended to develop
sidewall buckles while the
radial-ply tire did not.
The studies began as a re
sult of the development in
1957 of the radial-ply type
farm tractor tire by an Ital
