The NEW HOLLAND T9 Tractor Uses Goodyear LSW 800/55 R46 Tires, Which Cost About R$ 35 Thousand Each and Bring Advanced Technology for Stability, Comfort, and Less Soil Compaction

The tractor NEW HOLLAND T9 draws attention not only for its imposing size and strength in the field but also for the high maintenance costs.

One of the main examples is the set of tires that equips the model: the Goodyear LSW 800/55 R46, one of the most advanced in its category.

A simple survey reveals that each tire of this model costs around R$ 35 thousand, according to the Agroforest website. Doing the math, replacing the 12 tires can exceed R$ 420 thousand, an amount sufficient to buy a luxury car or even a mid-sized tractor.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Performance

The Goodyear LSW 800/55 R46 belongs to the brand’s high flotation line, created for machines that need to operate on varied terrain without compromising the soil.

The acronym LSW, which stands for Low SideWall, represents an innovation that reduces the height of the sidewall by up to 40% compared to conventional tires. This provides greater stability, less oscillation, and more comfort for the operator during work.

With a width of 800 mm and a profile of 55, the tire has a sidewall height that is 55% of the total width. Meanwhile, the 46-inch rim shows that this is a model of exceptional dimensions, designed for high-performance tractors. The outer diameter reaches about 2,072 mm, while the nominal width is approximately 805 mm.

Load Capacity and Efficiency

Another highlight is the tread depth of 47 mm, in the R-1W classification, ideal for wet soils and challenging terrains. The load index 190D allows it to support up to 10,600 kg per tire, varying according to inflation and usage conditions. The recommended nominal pressure is around 3.2 bar (46 psi) at full load.

The LSW technology also allows operation at lower pressures, which reduces soil compaction and improves traction. This feature, combined with the reinforced structure, minimizes the tire’s “bounce” at high speeds, ensuring more comfort and fuel economy.

Modern Structure and Durability

Radial and tubeless, the model facilitates maintenance and increases lifespan. The indicated rim is the DW28B, compatible with the tire’s width and shape. Due to its large size, it requires special attention to the space between the fenders and chassis during installation.

In the end, the Goodyear LSW 800/55 R46 represents a balanced combination of robustness, traction, and efficiency. It is the type of tire designed for the new generation of tractors like the NEW HOLLAND T9 — machines that symbolize the strength and modernity of agribusiness, but whose performance comes at a high cost.
