Continental Tractor 70 Tyres & Tractor Wheel Alignment
Article written by Bush TyresWolds Commercials, a division of Bush tyres, fitted two full sets of Continental Tractor 70 Radial tyres & adjusted the alignment of the tractor’s front wheels to optomise the life & performance of tyre & tractor.
Continental’s newTractor70 radial tyre is wider than a standard tyre & gives the tyre a larger footprint to reduce soil compaction.
Combined with the optimum self-cleaning properties from the smooth and roundedlugs, the Tractor70 offers high traction capability.
Continental have designed a newtyre bead for the Tractor 70, which means the tyre is able to operate at lowerpressures, therefore placing less of a burden on the soil.
- Very robust due to SingleWire Bead & N.flex© technology
- Gentle ground handling due to wide footprint
- Better traction due to wider footprint compared to the Tractor85 tyre
- Good traction due to smooth and rounded ‘interlug’ tread design
High Traction
- 0.2 bar – less pressure means a wider footprint, more traction & less soil compaction
- Excellent self-cleaning due to inter-lug design with centre line
N.flex© Carcass
- Patent-pending N.flex© technology radial carcass
- Dimensionally stable
- Flexibility to adapt to impacts without taking damage
Tractor Wheel Alignment
To ensure the Continental Tractor70 tyre’s performance is optimised in field, as well as on the road, a tractor wheel alignment check & adjustment was carried out.
A tractor with correctly aligned front wheels helps the tyres lastlonger, by reducing excessive wear caused by the tyre scrubbing & increases fuel economy, both in the field & on the road,.byreducing the drag effect caused when tyres are scrubbing.

Over in our Spalding branch the influence of the far east could be easily felt as two Japanese classics were brought to us from Baileys Prestige and Performance. The first an immaculate Pearl White Nissan R33 GT-R having Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres fitted to a set of new light weight race wheels supplied by our friends over at SR Autosource.
Hoping for some warmer weather this 1985 VW camper van visited our Spalding depot in preparation for the suns return later in the year. The driver chose to have Rapid tyres fitted. This is a great choice of tyre as it offers peace of mind with a full accidental damage guarantee.
The Porsche Carrera GT was already a quick car around the Nürburgring. Can modern tyre technology really make much of a difference to its lap time? Hold onto your hats and delve deeper.
