**John Deere Now Offering Goodyear® Super Single LSW® Tires on 8R-Series Tractors**

**QUINCY, Illinois —** Titan International, Inc., manufacturer of Titan Tires, Titan Wheels and Goodyear® Farm Tires, is proud to announce that John Deere’s three largest 8R-Series MFWD tractors — the 8R 340, 8R 370, and 8R 410 — can now be ordered with Goodyear Super Single Low Sidewall® (LSW) Technology tires for model year 2021 when equipped with Independent Link Suspension.

The combination of Goodyear Optitrac LSW1000/40R32 fronts and LSW1100/45R46 rears offers years of proven performance in the aftermarket, demonstrating significant traction, flotation and ride quality benefits over a traditional row crop dual setup — all at a comparable price to duals.

“_This flotation LSW setup has been incredibly popular for years in the aftermarket with growers running John Deere MFWD tractors — and we’re happy that the demand from growers and years of extensive field testing have led to John Deere making this in-demand setup available direct from the factory,_” said Scott Sloan, agricultural product manager for Titan and Goodyear Farm Tires. “_More than half of growers rarely need to run their tractors between the rows post-emergence, and for them — this LSW Super Single setup should be the clear choice to help reduce soil compaction, increase yield and improve performance in any field conditions_.”

**Duals Versus Super Singles**

A common traditional row crop setup on John Deere MFWD tractors would be 380/80R38 dual fronts and 480/80R50 dual rears — resulting in a total contact area 2,368 inches.

By switching to the newly available Goodyear LSW Super Single setup, the result is a total contact area of 3,644 inches.

**Results of the Switch**

· 53% improvement in total contact area — providing superior flotation thanks to the weight of the tractor being spread over a larger footprint.

· 6-inch reduction in overall roading width — allowing for easier transport and improved turn radius.

**New 10-Year Warranty**

All radial Goodyear Farm Tires — including the Super Single LSW tires available from John Deere — now come with the industry’s leading warranty, which includes:

· 10-year coverage for tire workmanship and material with prorated refund based on years in service and percentage wear

· 2-year, no-cost replacement as part of the workmanship and materials coverage when the tire is less than 25 percent worn (mounting and service included)

· New 2-year field hazard protection plan

· 3-year stubble damage protection plan · Certain exclusions apply.
