Tyre specialist Yokohama TWS has launched a multi-brand smartphone app designed to help farmers to configure the right pressure for their tyres, according to axle loads, speed, size and tire brand.

The Agro Tyre Pressure app, developed together with other major tire manufacturers, also puts safety, fuel savings and soil protection to the fore, without the need to trawl through manufacturer’s data books or product sheets or contact dealers.

Francesco Fusc, Yokohama TWS, says the app gives a huge boost to agri business in terms of efficiency, by letting farmers easily find the correct tire pressure to set according to tire brand of their agri vehicles and field work, right in the moment with just a few clicks. “This is just another way that all of us at Yokohama TWS are working to put new technologies in the hands of our customers, so they can focus on their business.”

The Agro Tyre Pressure app is ready for download to iOS and Android phones. Available in four languages, (English, French, German and Polish), the app combines databases of 12 leading brands, including the Yokohama TWS portfolio of Trelleborg, Mitas, Maximo and Cultor, from The App Store.
