“Walking the Talk” with CEAT Ag Tires“Walking the Talk” with CEAT Ag Tires
Chris Fox, managing partner of Best-One of Indy, is “walking the talk” with CEAT Specialty tires. He and his team are selling loads of CEAT Ag tires to Indiana farmers, and he has installed a set of CEAT FARMAX tires on his own Deere.
"With CEAT tires, farmers are getting new technology, but are not necessarily having to pay the price for it," Fox says. "With input costs way up, farmers are looking to cut costs. CEAT gives us a very cost-effective tire in our lineup."
“With CEAT you get lower rolling resistance, less soil compaction, good roadability and all the other key aspects you look for in a farm tire,” he notes. “I like the fact that I can talk to our farmer customers about having CEAT tires on my own tractor.”
Founded in 1986, Best-One of Indy is a family-owned tire and auto repair company with 15 locations throughout Central Indiana.
CEAT Specialty is at the forefront of innovation in farm tire technology. The company’s investments in research and development have led to significant improvements in durability, traction, and fuel efficiency.
Advanced materials and design techniques allow for better performance in diverse agricultural conditions, enhancing productivity for farmers. Features like increased tread depth and specialized rubber compounds help reduce soil compaction and improve grip on uneven terrain. These advancements not only support agricultural efficiency but also contribute to sustainability by optimizing equipment performance.
Features and benefits of FARMAX tires include:
- R1-W tread depth for extended tire lifespan.
- Wider treads and larger inner volume to decrease soil compaction.
- Rounded shoulders for minimal disruption to soil and crops.
- Higher angle lug and lug overlap at the center for superior roadability.
- Lower angle at the shoulder for enhanced traction.

American Farmers are Facing Major Headwinds in 2025American Farmers are Facing Major Headwinds in 2025
American farmers are confronting several significant challenges in 2025, from rising input costs to labor shortages and more major headwinds to a profitable year.
The biggest challenges in 2025 are:
Economic Pressures and Financial Stability
Farmers are experiencing financial difficulties due to rising input costs, including fertilizers and crop protection products. A survey indicated that 48% of farmers consider these increased expenses a primary concern. Additionally, many are facing persistent per-acre losses and difficulties securing operating loans, leading to broader economic challenges in rural communities.
Climate Change and Environmental Factors
Climate change is impacting agricultural productivity through altered precipitation patterns, increased temperatures, and more frequent extreme weather events. These changes affect crop yields, soil health, and water availability, posing significant challenges for farmers.
Labor Shortages
Labor shortages remain a critical issue, with agriculture being one of the sectors most affected. The Farm Bureau has called for solutions to address this limiting factor, as farmers struggle to find sufficient workers to meet operational needs.
Policy and Regulatory Uncertainties
The 2025 Farm Bill is a focal point of concern, with farmers facing uncertainties regarding crop insurance, safety nets, and other support programs. Changes in trade policies, biofuel regulations, and environmental standards add to the complexity, potentially affecting market access and operational practices.
With all these challenges, farmers are looking to reduce their operating costs and increase their yields any way possible. That’s where CEAT Ag tires come in!
CEAT's tires, with their combination of performance and price point, are especially appealing in this challenging environment where farmers are looking for ways to stretch their budgets without sacrificing reliability. CEAT tires help reduce downtime and maintenance costs - that's a win for farmers who rely on their equipment to stay operational through busy seasons.
According to Rob McCulligh, OE Sales Manager for TIRECRAFT Ontario, CEAT Specialty is knocking it out of the park on the value front. “The main selling point for CEAT is the quality of the tire and the price point. CEAT offers an unbelievable combination of price and quality,” he noted.
CEAT farm tires, like the CEAT FARMAX R80, are well recognized for their durability and roadability -- critical benefits for farmers who need tires that can withstand the daily rigors of farm work while also performing well on the road when they’re hauling equipment or traveling between fields. Durability means fewer replacements, less downtime, fewer maintenance issues and an overall low total cost of ownership for tires – all very important when every hour and every dollar count.

Maintaining Correct Air Pressure in Farm Tires is Critical for Getting Maximum PerformanceMaintaining Correct Air Pressure in Farm Tires is Critical for Getting Maximum Performance
Farmers are facing increasing pressure to keep costs down, and maintaining farm equipment, especially tires, is an essential part of this effort. Tires play a critical role in farming efficiency. Their maintenance, especially maintaining correct air pressure, can directly impact fuel consumption, soil compaction, and overall equipment longevity.
Here’s why regular air pressure checks for farm tires are so important:
1. Improved Fuel Efficiency: Under-inflated tires create more rolling resistance, which means the engine has to work harder to move the vehicle. By maintaining the proper air pressure, fuel consumption can be reduced, leading to savings over time.
2. Better Traction and Performance: Proper tire pressure ensures that the tires are in optimal contact with the ground, improving traction. This is particularly important when navigating difficult terrain or working with heavy equipment.
3. Extended Tire Life: Consistently checking air pressure and adjusting it as needed helps to prevent uneven wear, reducing the need for early replacements and saving money on new tires.
4. Reduced Risk of Damage: Under or over-inflated tires are more susceptible to damage, whether it's from wear, impact, or total failures. Keeping them at the right pressure, taking into account their load carrying capacity, helps mitigate these risks.
5. Less Soil Compaction: Over-inflated tires can increase soil compaction, which affects crop yield. Correct tire pressure helps distribute the weight of the equipment more evenly, reducing soil damage.
Speaking of air pressure, more and more farmers are switching to IF and VF tires. IF tires can carry up to 20% more load than a standard radial at a given inflation pressure—or they can carry the same load (as a standard radial) at a lower inflation pressure. VF tires can carry up to 40% more load than a standard radial at a given inflation pressure—or the same load (as a standard radial) at a lower inflation pressure. This has many benefits, including minimizing soil compaction.
CEAT Specialty is incorporating IF/VF technologies into more and more of its Ag tires, including the Spraymax VF and Torquemax VF.
Regularly checking tire pressure should be part of a routine maintenance schedule for farmers. It's a simple yet effective way to reduce operating costs and ensure that equipment is running efficiently.
