Tires with IF or VF technology are built with a flexible yet durable sidewall and run at a lower inflation level than standard radials, allowing full expansion of the footprint while being rigid enough to keep the center of the tread anchored to the ground to maintain traction and wear performance. Tires with IF technology can carry about 20% more load than standard equivalent-sized radial tires at the same inflation pressure. When axle loads do not increase, the inflation pressure can be reduced to standard radial tires. Tires with VF technology can carry about 40% more load than standard equivalent-sized radial tires at the same inflation pressure. When axle loads do not increase, the inflation pressure can be reduced compared to standard radial tires.
