Tractor tires, thanks to their large surface areas, reduce the pressure applied to the soil, thus minimizing soil compaction and thereby increasing efficiency. Technological advancements, including increased engine power, have led to larger and heavier tractors, further increasing the risk of soil compaction. With these developments, new tires with low inflation pressures have been developed to reduce the surface pressure on the soil. These new tires are referred to as increased flexion (IF) and very high flexion tires. In this study, a comparison was made between a normal structure 600/70 R30 tire and an IF structure IF 600/70 R30 tire under a fixed load with three different rim structures, examining changes in pressure as well as changes in the footprint and deflection. The results show that at the minimum inflation pressure of 12psi, both tires exhibited the maximum ground contact area, whereas the minimum contact area was achieved at the maximum inflation pressure of 35psi with a DW21 rim for both tires. The maximum deflection value was recorded at 12psi with a W18 rim. It has been determined that the choice of rim and inflation pressure affects the contact area of the tire, and to reduce the surface pressure on the soil, it is necessary to reduce the tire inflation pressure to increase the contact area.
