The EWRS-PIVOT irrigation tire is designed with aggressive bi-directional tread meaning it doesn’t push material out to the sides, digging a track. Bi-directional tread doesn’t have angled lugs, instead, they are straight across the tire to provide traction without digging.
Core Geometry
Being an airless tire, the EWRS-PIVOT uses a unique core geometry that allows the tire to compress instead of compressed air. The core holes on the EWRS-PIVOT series are wide and shallow which maximizes ground contact, increasing traction while also allowing the core holes to compress completely flat. When the tire’s core holes compress completely flat, it pushes any material within the tire out effectively making it a self-cleaning mechanism. This compression does two things, increases traction and is self-cleaning.
Floatation
The concave profile is where floatation comes in. Unlike your traditional premium pneumatic tire, the EWRS-PIVOT series has a concave profile instead of a convex one. A concave profile refers to the shape of the tire where the diameter in the center is smaller than the diameter of the edges of the tire. This holds material underneath the tire when traveling over dirt where a convex tire will push material outwards.
On top of that, the EWRS-PIVOT series is true to spec tire meaning that the 14.9” x 24” dimensions are made to fit those specs exactly. Oftentimes manufacturers won’t build their tires to the specs that they advertise, negatively affecting floatation. Since the EWRS-PIVOT is a true-to-spec tire, the ground contact area is truly 14.9” wide, it spreads the weight of the system over a wider surface area increasing floatation.
