AGRI STAR II THE STAR OF TRACTOR TYRES
Alliance Agri Star II
Transforming Tractor Performance
Tom Pemberton - Dairy Farmer Lytham St Annes
“ We have just put Alliance Agri Star 11 ’ s on our 13 Year old 100 HP Hurrliman , what a difference ! The tractor is our work horse with very little road work . It has transformed the way we drive ; its grip is superb , and the self-cleaning aspect is so effective . Gives you so much more confidence when driving !”
Gerraint Go Jones - Cattle & Sheep Farmer , Conwy Valley
“ Just put Alliance Agri Star 11 ’ s on our 110 HP CLAAS . So much better than the previous tyres . The grip is amazing which is excellent on our steep valleys . We can go for much longer before 4-wheel drive is needed . The self-cleaning action is the best I ’ ve seen . Strong walls mean it is very good on roads as well . It is reasonably priced , we will be switching to Agri Star for the rest of the fleet as soon as they need replacing . www . kirkbytyres . co . uk
