Low sidewall tires solve problem of power-hop, road-lope
Titan International's LSW49H tires were developed to solve the problems of power-hop and road-lope aggravated by more powerful, high-speed tractors. These tires offer radial construction for reduced rolling resistance, improved fuel efficiency and increased footprint. A heavier sidewall and special rim give improved puncture resistance and limited run-flat capability keeping the farmer in the fields longer for increased productivity. Most importantly, the LSW (low sidewall) design improves vertical and lateral stability, has increased bead contact area for reduced rim slip and greatly diminishes the tendency of tractor power-hop or road-lope. These tires have a .60 aspect ratio compared to the standard tire's .80 aspect ratio.
