CTIS
Central Tire Inflation System
What is it good for?
Having CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) installed on your agricultural machinery allows you shifting the tire pressure to defined target pressures just by pushing a button - in the field or on the road – while driving or admiring your day’s work.
The intention is as simple as the function: While lower psi creates a bigger, grippy footprint, the high psi leads to a smaller, rolling footprint. Choose between maximum grip or minimal resistance – whatever challenge appears to you.
To work with compromise pressures will never let you effectively squeeze out the maximum out of your tire’s potential.
In times of increasing amounts of roading, farther apart locations and freights getting heavier the use of CTIS will quickly lead you to a daily cost reduction, increasing yields and higher efficiency - just by comfortably switching the tire pressure to your presets from the cab.
We believe in what we experience — this is what you can expect:
4% of productivity gain*
-10% of fuel consumption*
-33% of soil compaction**
-30% of slippage*
and reduced tire wear, improved driving safety and comfortable handling.
Incidentally you’ll make your own footprint green and more sustainable by being prepared for setting the optimal tire pressure in each use of your farming activity.
The installation of our CTIS is just a step into a higher efficiency in what you are already doing each day.

Soil test conditions: heavy blue clay. Also based on a field study carried out under real-life conditions in France in 2017 using a Fendt 724 Vario tractor fitted with MICHELIN Machxbib 710/55 R30 and MICHELIN Machxbib 900/50 R42 tires and a GYRAX BMXL 240 trailer fitted with Cargoxbib HF 710/50 R26.5 tires. Soil test conditions: clay-limestone. Actual results may vary depending on soil and weather conditions.
