A good example is the launch of the new VT860, which will be manufactured in Argentina and serve different regions of the international market. It is a new design option developed by Vipal for off-the-road use in the heavy work of compact tractors, such as skid steer loaders.

The grooves’ sculpture design follows the rotational direction, offering better traction power. It has greater resistance to damage caused by sharp objects, common in off-the-road conditions, and blocks designed to provides excellent mileage performance in extreme driving conditions. Also has the M+S marking, which guarantees a great performance in snow and mud conditions and the design also provides the self-cleaning of the tread.
