Intracarcass pressure, or ICP, is the gas pressure which builds up in the body plies and interior layers of a tire. Buildup of oxygen in the tire body will cause thermo-oxidative degradation of internal tire components, and will lead to early tire failure and removal from service.

As farms grow and fields get farther apart, farm equipment—especially tractors—spend more time on the road. Getting from field to field smoothly and quickly is crucial for productivity. Choosing tires that match your operation’s in-field and on-road needs ensures safe, efficient and comfortable road travel while maintaining performance in the field.

India’s Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association (ATMA) reports that June 2024 saw actual natural rubber availability at merely 30,000 tons, falling significantly short of the projected 60,000 tons.
The crisis deepened in July, with ATMA noting an almost complete halt in natural rubber sales for most of the month. This scarcity has had wide-ranging impacts across the rubber industry, affecting both small and medium enterprises as well as major tire manufacturers.
Rajiv Budhraja, Director General, ATMA, highlighted the severity of the situation, stating, “Some tire plants of ATMA member companies have witnessed production sliding over 10 per cent in July owing to the natural rubber crunch. Production planning is in total disarray.”

Noise-reducing wheel resonators are made from lightweight resin, and through a unique, well considered structure, are fitted to the wheel rim without the use of connecting parts such as bolts. Centrifugal force actually secures the resonators to the wheel more firmly. The resonators can withstand 1,500G during high-speed driving, and bond to the wheel stronger without losing their shape
