The new Aeolus AGT24 agrotruck tyre: Fast on the road, strong in the field
Now available directly from stock at Heuver Tyres.
The approaching autumn and harvesting season demands maximum performance from your machinery. Downtime is not an option. While the market is currently facing persistent problems such as heat build-up, cracking and radial run-out during prolonged transport at higher speeds, Aeolus provides the solution with the AGT24.
Aeolus introduces the AGT24, a high-quality agrotruck tyre that, following successful field tests in Europe, is now officially being launched to the wider market. Since September last year, several hundred tyres have already been extensively and successfully tested on the European market. The Aeolus AGT24 therefore offers contractors, farmers and machinery manufacturers a further-developed, stable and high-quality alternative.

-
Advanced heat management, even at speeds of up to and including 100 km/h
Thanks to Aeolus' many years of experience in the transport and earthmoving industries, the AGT24 has been engineered with efficient heat dissipation. Its robust All-Steel carcass, combined with a specially developed rubber compound and aerodynamic tread design, provides active cooling. Even at constant speeds of up to 100 km/h under heavy loads, the tyre remains cool. This makes the AGT24 unique in its segment: prolonged high-speed transport is possible without thermal damage.
-
Maximum load capacity without loss of performance
The strong steel carcass construction guarantees maximum mechanical load capacity. This robust structure significantly reduces the risk of radial run-out and cracking. The AGT24 therefore delivers an impressive load capacity, supporting up to 11.4 tonnes on the rear axle at 65 km/h without any loss of performance.
-
7.0 BAR OEM certification
The Aeolus AGT24 comes with an official Technical Declaration for operation at a tyre pressure of 7.0 BAR. This means the tyre immediately complies with the strictest factory requirements that many machinery manufacturers (OEMs) now specify as standard for the acceptance and technical inspection of new vehicles.
The Aeolus AGT24 in practice: the experience of Agrotruck GmbH & Co. KG
Agrotruck GmbH & Co. KG is a German specialist in the sale, rental and modification of agrotrucks for the agricultural sector. As an expert in transport vehicles, the company spent years searching for the ideal tyre solution for its customers.
Quote from Justin Lüdtke, Managing Director of Agrotruck GmbH & Co. KG
“The problem with agrotruck tyres is that customers have to compromise between load capacity, speed, traction in the field and comfort on the road.
We tried various tyre brands, but often found that the tyres experienced problems with the combination of load capacity and speed. This resulted in cracks developing in the tyres on the drive axle when used in single fitment.
With the AEOLUS AGT24 agrotruck tyre, we do not have this problem. Thanks to its strong steel carcass and specially designed tread pattern, we can provide our customers with a solution that fully meets their requirements.”
Results from real-world use
Agrotruck GmbH & Co. KG has been fitting the Aeolus AGT24 to its vehicles since the beginning of this year, including the MAN AgroTruck 18.440 4x4. For this specific configuration, tyre size 445/65 R 22.5 is used on the front axle and 600/50 R 22.5 on the rear axle.
Initial customer experiences in real-world conditions confirm the technical advantages of this series:
-
No heat-related problems: The extreme increase in tyre temperature, a common problem during intensive transport operations, is now a thing of the past with the AGT24.
-
Traction and comfort: The redesigned tread with a wider centre rib provides more stable and quieter handling on asphalt without compromising the essential grip required on unpaved surfaces.
Based on these results, Agrotruck GmbH & Co. KG has made a clear decision to continue using Aeolus AGT24 wheel sets as its standard solution.
