Trelleborg Tires launches new TM800 PowerFlex tire, engineered for excellence from field to road
- New Trelleborg TM800 PowerFlex Tire combines ProgressiveTraction® lugs, VF-PFO technology, and a central rib for outstanding performance and control in both fieldwork and on-road transport
- Field tests showed the TM800 PowerFlex delivers up to 20% more grip, 5% wider footprint for less soil compaction, and 5% better self-cleaning; on road, it reduces rolling resistance by 6%, improves handling, and extends tire life by up to 20%
- Two sizes (650/65R38 and 540/65R28) are now available, with four additional sizes launching progressively in the coming months
Trelleborg Tires expands its premium range of agricultural solutions with the launch of the TM800 PowerFlex, a high-efficiency tire engineered to maximize performance in both field and road applications. Built for today’s mid- to high-powered tractors, the TM800 PowerFlex is designed to meets the evolving demands of modern farming, where versatility, efficiency and productivity act as key enablers of long-term success.
At the heart of the TM800 PowerFlex is a unique combination of VF-PFO (Very High Flexion - Pressure Field Operations) construction and Trelleborg Tires’ patented ProgressiveTraction® lug design, working together to ensure excellent traction and flotation in even the toughest field conditions. At the same time, a newly developed central rib, inspired by road tire geometry, provides enhanced stability, steering precision and driving comfort during long-distance transport, without compromising durability or grip.
Recent field tests revealed up to 20% more traction compared to premium competitors, helping to minimize slippage and increase efficiency on soft or wet soil. Its 5% wider footprint reduces soil compaction, preserving yield potential and improving sustainability. In wet conditions, the redesigned interlug terraces demonstrated 5% better self-cleaning, ensuring consistent performance and reducing downtime.
The advantages continue on the road, where the TM800 PowerFlex showed a 6% reduction in rolling resistance, directly translating into lower fuel consumption. Drivers also benefit from improved handling and up to 20% longer tire life, bringing greater cost-efficiency and enhancing daily working comfort.
The tire’s VF-PFO technology offers a tangible edge during low-speed field operations. Compared to standard tire construction, it supports 17% more constant load at 10 km/h, and up to 40% more load at the same inflation pressure, increasing operational capacity without compromising tire durability, safey or driving comfort.
To support smarter farming, each TM800 PowerFlex tire includes an integrated QR code, allowing users to easily access digital product information, technical specifications, and usage recommendations directly from the field.
Consistently with the entire Trelleborg agricultural tire range, all Trelleborg Tires are developed to guarantee maximum traction and extended durability through high-quality engineering. Featuring advanced tread patterns and premium compound materials, they are built to maximize the productivity and efficiency required by modern farming, ensuring long-lasting performance even in the most demanding conditions.
To reinforce its commitment to long-term value, Trelleborg Tires now offers a certified tread wear performance of up to 5,000 hours on the TM800 PowerFlex and other selected rear tires within the ProgressiveTraction® range. Available through registration on the Premium Care Portal, this performance warranty underscores the tire’s durability and advanced design, offering customers greater confidence and peace of mind in their investment.
Commenting on the launch, Luca Sabelli, Brand Director Trelleborg Tires, said: “With the TM800 PowerFlex, we’ve reimagined what farmers can expect from a tire. It’s the result of our deep understanding of real working conditions, where product innovation and real field results deliver practical benefits every day. It is how we turn innovation into value, helping agri professionals achieve more, with less. Designed from the soil up, it empowers our customers to go further, do more, and do it better.”
Now available in two sizes (650/65R38 and 540/65R28), the TM800 PowerFlex will be released in four additional sizes rolling out progressively in the upcoming months, ensuring wide compatibility with the most commonly used mid to high-powered tractor models worldwide.
