Nokian Tyres is expanding its Nokian Tyres Soil King VF product family with four new tire sizes – VF600/65R28, VF710/70R38, VF710/60R42, and VF710/60R34 – designed to help farmers fully capitalize on their tractor’s performance and maximize yield from the land. Built for demanding agricultural work, these tires combine high traction, low soil compaction, and fuel-efficient operation to support sustainable and productive farming.
The Soil King VF tires utilize Nokian Tyres Flexforce® VF technology, which brings significant advantages in working efficiency and fuel economy. This advanced technology enables an XXL-sized contact area, reducing energy loss and lowering fuel consumption. At the same time, Flexforce® enhances driving comfort and smooth operation both in the field and during road transport. Lower tire pressures and reduced soil compaction support sustainable and efficient farming. Additionally, the tires offer excellent grip, high traction, and a long service life.
Tests conducted by the German Agricultural Society (DLG) have shown that Soil King VF offers best-in-class performance and lower fuel consumption. Compared to competitors, the tires delivered lower slippage, better fuel efficiency, and greater area coverage per hour.
The tires have also undergone extensive field testing. Test users have particularly highlighted the tires’ soil-friendliness, stability, and road performance.
Available exclusively with Nokian Tyres Soil King VF tires, the Nokian Tyres Intuitu™ 2.0 Smart Pressure Assistant offers agricultural professionals, for the first time in the world, tire pressure recommendations on the go. The smart tire technology uses built-in sensors inside the tires to calculate the tractor’s actual operating weight and usage conditions, and based on this data, it provides tire pressure recommendations directly to the user via a mobile application. Nokian Tyres Intuitu™ 2.0 helps the user to maximize productivity, protect soil health, and extend tire life. The technology also received the silver distinction of the prestigious Agritechnica Innovation Award presented by the German Agricultural Society DLG.
The Soil King VF tire is now available in 17 common sizes for mid- and high-horsepower tractors, with the range continuing to expand in the near future.
The Soil King VF product family now includes: VF600/65R28, VF710/70R38, VF710/60R42, VF710/60R34, VF650/65R38, VF540/65R28, VF650/65R42, VF540/65R30, VF600/60R30, VF710/70R42, VF650/85R38, VF600/70R30, VF600/70R28, VF710/75R42, VF600/70R34, VF650/65R34, and VF650/60R34.
The new sizes, VF600/65R28, VF710/70R38, VF710/60R42, and VF710/60R34, are available immediately.
Nokian Tyres’ heavy tires, retreads, and wheels have been awarded the Key Flag Symbol by the Association for Finnish Work, indicating that the products are made in Finland. They also carry the Design from Finland mark, highlighting their Finnish design.
