Lincolnshire Young Farmers Agricultural Tyre Evening at Bush Tyres
Article written by Bush TyresBush Tyres, Horncastle, held an Agricultural Tyre Evening for Lincolnshire Young Farmers on Thursday (17/10/19)
The evening started off with a welcome message from Brett Mayhew (Bush Tyres) before introducing Michelin‘s representative, Ian Whitwell, who did a stirling job explaining the following tyre related subjects:
- tyre sidewall markings & dimensions,
- choosing the right tyre to match the power of a tractor,
- Michelin’s Very High Flexion (VF) tyres,
- Soil protection,
- Tractor load balancing calculations,
- How to set tyre pressures without the use of a tyre pressure gauge.
Chris Kelly & Matt Smith (both from Bush Tyres) along with Ian demonstrated
what is involved with a tractor wheel alignment as well as explaining the benefits
of an alignment.
Quick fact: Did you know that if your tractor wheel alignmnet is out by only 5% you could have a decrease in fuel economy by up to 12%
This event turned out to be a very successful evening for all involved & Bush Tyres would like to thank Ian, from Michelin, who kindly donated his time to help, & everyone from LYF who came to make this one of the best attended nights so far.

The fitting team at Boston hosted a very long-standing customer, this Aston Martin DB9 returning for a set of new, fully coded, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensors.
Toyo's Proxes slick tyres have been designed and built using advanced technologies to incorporate sustainable raw materials within the tyres overall make up. These sustainable tyres which were fitted to team Toyo Tires', Toyota GR Supra GT4 Evo's for the first four round of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in the SP10 class.
This Peugeot 205 automatic visited our Boston Branch recently for Wheel Balancing. These centre-less “Pepperpot” style wheels can only be balanced on a balancing machine using a plate adapter. The adapter is needed as the wheels are unusual as they have no hole in the centre.
