FLOATMAX Cargo Plus Tires Selling Like HotcakesFLOATMAX Cargo Plus Tires Selling Like Hotcakes
Listening to the customer is an important commitment at CEAT Specialty, and in the case of the FLOATMAX CARGO PLUS tire, it has paid off once again.
Brad Schmucker, owner of Millersburg Tire Service in Ohio, knew there was demand for a quality high speed radial flotation tire in his market. There were a couple offerings in the market by other manufacturers, but Schmucker felt that there could be an improvement. Schmucker, who became one of the first CEAT dealers when the company entered the North American market seven years ago, asked CEAT Specialty to produce such a tire.
Less than 12 months after Millersburg Tire Service began selling this flotation tire to their farmer customers for their tank and trailer equipment, more than 300 units have been sold. It appears that the guys at Millersburg Tire Service knew what they were talking about . . . which is not at all surprising; you don’t stay in business as a tire dealer for decades without taking care of your customers with expertise and outstanding service.
It's one thing for a tire company to listen to its customers, but what sets CEAT Specialty apart is putting their recommendations into action in record time.
According to John Miller of Millersburg Tire Service, “We mentioned to the CEAT folks the need for this tank tire and provided input of what we thought would improve the product over current designs. With CEAT’s willingness to grow in this market we had the new FLOATMAX CARGO PLUS within a year.”
“CEAT is a company that is willing to listen to the needs of its customers and tries to meet those requests. They are amazing to work with because they want dealer and customer input to help make them stronger in the market,” Miller noted.
The FLOATMAX CARGO PLUS offers high traction, stubble puncture protection, uniform pressure distribution, and minimal soil/crop damage for tank and trailer applications. Available initially in size 28LR26, more sizes and a VF variant are planned for release in the near future.
By the way, “selling like hotcakes” is a commonly used idiom that means something is being sold quickly and in large quantities. Interesting factoid -- A hot cake is a type of pancake. The phrase originated in the 1800s when simple cornmeal versions were sold at church bake sales and snapped up by the congregation before they went cold.

Flotation Tires Help Reduce Soil CompactionFlotation Tires Help Reduce Soil Compaction
As Ag machinery gets heavier and heavier, its impact on soil compaction grows more and more. That’s why CEAT Specialty is investing heavily in R&D to develop tires that minimize soil compaction, including a comprehensive line of flotation tires.
The newest flotation tire in the CEAT line-up provides the additional benefit of VF technology. The CEAT FLOATMAX VF X3 tire can operate at 40% lower inflation pressure than standard Ag radials for improved crop product efficiency, lower fuel consumption and reduced soil compaction. Conversely, the FLOATMAX VF X3 can carry 40% more weight at the same air pressure as standard radials. Other attributes include a directional tread pattern for excellent handling and a big center block at the tread center for more traction.
Soil compaction is a major challenge faced by farmers worldwide. It occurs when the weight of heavy machinery compresses the soil, reducing its pore spaces, which leads to decreased water infiltration, root development, and nutrient uptake. This results in stunted crop growth and low yield potential. One of the ways to reduce soil compaction is by fitting farm equipment with flotation tires.
Flotation tires distribute the weight of heavy machinery over a more extensive surface area, reducing its impact on the soil. These tires are designed to “float” on top of the soil rather than sinking into it, reducing the damage caused by heavy machinery. As a result, soil compaction is reduced, and the yield potential of crops is increased.
Moreover, flotation tires like the FLOATMAX VF X3 also help in increasing the overall efficiency of farm operations. They ensure that farm machinery can move easily through soft soil conditions while maintaining traction, reducing fuel consumption and wear and tear on the machinery. In turn, this reduces the operational costs for farmers while increasing their productivity.
In addition to their durability and efficiency capabilities, flotation tires are also versatile and can be used with a wide range of farm equipment, including tractors, combines, and other heavy machinery. They are available in various sizes and designs at CEAT Specialty, making it easy to choose the right tire based on your specific needs.
