After several months of in-house development and testing, Mitas 30.5L32 148A8 Powerpull is available for pulling teams in Europe.
It is manufactured as a slick tyre without a tread pattern, allowing the competitor to create the winning tread design of their choice. Manufacturing of Mitas Powerpull 30.5L-32 is based on a process similar to that of Mitas’ high-horsepower tractor tyres which Mitas say guarantees endurance and durability.
“The big advantage of Mitas Powerpull is the fact that it is sold as a slick tyre, allowing a custom cut according to the competitor’s specification,” said Andrew Mabin, Mitas’ sales and marketing director. “To ensure being one of the first competitors to put on a new set of Mitas Powerpull tyres, I would encourage pullers to contact their cutter and put their name on the list.”
Tyres are matched in pairs at the factory to a circumference tolerance of approximately 1.2 centimetres and are sold in matched pairs and when the tyres are matched at the factory, they are inflated to 0,8 bar and the circumference measured. The average circumference of this production run at 0,8 bar is 5,273 metres.
During the final stage of development, Mitas took on-board feedback on Mitas Powerpull’s design from several pullers and pulling teams in Europe and North America.
Mitas actively supports tractor-pulling events and in Europe, Mitas is the official partner of the European Tractor Pulling Committee (ETPC), supporting all Eurocup pulls. The company has recently prolonged its sponsorship agreement with ETPC for the Eurocup 2016 season.
