WITH THE STABILITY OF TITAN LOW SIDEWALL (LSW ®) TECHNOLOGY
Why use tires and wheels designed over 30 years ago? Tractors and combines are faster and
heavier than ever before, but to take full advantage of their capabilities, you need the right
wheel and tire assembly. A conventional wheel/tire assembly with a 70 percent aspect ratio
has a tendency to bounce during road transport and hop in the field when put in high-draw-bar
applications. With LSW®, those issues are eliminated.
WHAT IS LSW® TECHNOLOGY?
Low Sidewall (LSW®) technology features a larger rim diameter and smaller sidewall than a
standard tire, while maintaining the same outside diameter, inflation pressures and weight
load capacity. The larger rim and smaller sidewall of LSW® provides much greater stability for
equipment.
LOW SIDEWALL

Speed
LSW® helps reduce bouncing and road loping, which results
in increased transport speeds between fields, keeping your
operation productive and profitable.

LSW® provides a smoother ride both in the field and on the
road. The smaller sidewall reduces recoil and bouncing that
results in road lope and power hop.
Stability
The increased rim diameter of LSW® reduces machine sway,
resulting in greater lateral stability on hillside conditions
without the need to increase inflation pressures.
STANDARD
Safety
Less bounce and greater stability around curves results in
improved operator comfort and safety.
Fuel economy
LSW® reduces sidewall deflection, which helps increase the
rolling circumference for improved fuel economy.

PROBLEMS SOLVED
LSW ® TIRES SOLVE THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY STANDARD TIRES
ROAD LOPE
POWER HOP
SOIL COMPACTION
ROAD LOPE
Definition: (n.), The bouncing and
swaying of a tractor or combine
during road transport, often caused
by issues with the roundness of the
tire, alignment of the assembly and the
flexing of the sidewall.
POWER HOP
Definition: (n.), The bouncing of a
tractor associated with high-drawbar applications; a problem caused
by the tire gaining traction as the
sidewall flexes and recoils, resulting in
uncontrollable bouncing of the tractor.
SOIL COMPACTION
Definition: (n.), The result of soil
particles being pressed together, often
caused by the pressure of heavy field
equipment. This can lead to undesirable
effects on plant growth including smaller
yields and lower quality.
Solution: LSW® technology tires
feature a shorter sidewall, which
more quickly dampens bumps in the
road, leading to less bouncing, quicker
recovery time and reduced road lope.
Solution: LSW® technology tires
feature a shorter sidewall, resulting in
less sidewall recoil, more stability and
reduced power hop.
Solution: LSW® technology combined
with Extreme Flotation™ size tires
provides nearly 20 percent greater
contact area versus standard duals,
which reduces ground-bearing pressure
and improves flotation, therefore
reducing soil compaction.
TESTED AND PROVEN
University testing shows that the 20
percent increase in contact area of the
LSW® super singles at lower inflation
pressures reduces soil compaction when
compared to a traditional dual setup.
“We put these tires on our
tractor and it changed itself
immensely. It was almost
like having a new tractor.”

LSW VS. TRACKS: TOP FIVE REASONS
®
Forget what you think you know. Tires versus tracks is no longer a debate. Commodity prices are falling.
Equipment and input costs continue to rise. You can’t fool around with unnecessary expenses. And now with
Low Sidewall technology, that’s exactly what tracks are — an unnecessary expense. When you compare
LSW® tires to tracks, the decision is clear.
There are five reasons why Goodyear Farm Tires featuring Titan LSW® technology are the better choice:
1.
PRICE
A new track machine takes up to $60,000 more out of
your wallet than an LSW machine.
3.
SPEED
An LSW machine will road 30 percent faster and ride a
whole lot smoother.
2.
MAINTENANCE
A track machine requires more maintenance which
means more downtime.
4.
FUEL EFFICIENCY
An LSW machine will save you up to 30 percent in fuel
costs.
5.
FIELD PERFORMANCE
Everything you think you get from tracks, you get from LSW … and then some. We’ve put them to the test, and time
after time, our LSW technology comes out on top. See for yourself.
Traction
Flotation
When this John Deere 8410 with conventional singles got stuck
in the mud with its 400 gallon spray tank, it was our LSW tires
to the rescue. The John Deere 8295R equipped with Goodyear
LSW1000/40R32 fronts and LSW1100/45R46 rears was able to
continue work in the same conditions thanks to increased traction
and flotation.
LSW tires go where tracks and conventional tires can’t. This
John Deere S680 combine is running LSW1250/35R46 fronts and
LSW710/60R30 rears. The farmer was in the market for a product
that could replace his conventional dual 520/85R42 setup. In the
past, he had problems cutting fields that were slightly wet. The
conventional dual 520 setup would often get stuck killing the day’s
productivity. In the first week of running the LSW setup, he stated
that the tires have already paid for themselves by optimizing his
productivity and efficiency.
Compaction
Ride
When Russel Neurauter of Leask, Canada saw our LSW tires he
thought the large tire width would ruin his crops. “I thought they
were going to tear up a lot more crop but the actual fact of the matter
is they tear out almost nothing. The treads hit the ground and the
crop comes right up. When we come down for fungicide season, you
normally look for the tracks and follow the same tracks; you can’t find
the tracks after you spray with these tires so the crop compaction is
a real improvement.”
With a shorter sidewall, the LSW tire significantly reduces road lope
and power hop. Don’t take it from us, hear it from our operators. Scott
Chestnut: “With the higher profile we’re getting faster road speeds,
improved transport speeds from farm to farm. It saves quite a bit of
time and the ride is still good at the higher speeds, which is a little
unbelievable that we can travel that fast and still have a smooth ride.”
Clint Wobeter: “The comment I would use to sum the whole thing up,
the difference between conventional and LSW: you could fall asleep
in the LSWs, it just kind of glides over everything”

Sloan Implement — a Virdon, Illinois equipment dealer
Challenger: Goodyear Optitrac
LSW800/55R46 tires
Competitors: Case Quadtrac 550
track machine and a John Deere
9560 running standard 800/70R38
tires. All three machines pulled a 22foot disc ripper at the same depth
Results: The results showed that
the Optitrac Low Sidewall (LSW)
tires provide significantly better fuel
efficiency and comparable traction
compared to the track machine,
and less wheel slip compared to the
conventional 800/70R38 tires.

Results: The LSW tires performed
excellently against the tracks in
extreme conditions. Drivers were
impressed with slip averaging 3

wheeled machine versus the tracked
as well as its exceptional steering.

Case Steiger 550 4WD tractor
Competitor: Case Steiger Quadtrac
550 track machine Both machines
pulled a 21-foot tillage unit at the
same depth of 17”.
Results: The LSW tires performed
just as well as the tracked machine
in slip (3-7%), fuel efficiency (2829.5) and power (96-105%). It
was preferred for its steering and
smoother ride.
Van Wall Equipment Field Demo — Tama, Iowa
Challenger: Goodyear LSW on John
Deere 9560R
Competitor: John Deere 9560R
with conventional 800s
Results: When roading the
equipment, the LSW tires were able
to ride comfortably at 26 mph while
the standard tires could only reach
20 mph. Not only did the LSW tires
provide a smoother ride, there was
less slip and fuel consumption.
