Performance from the track to the field at the Mitas All-Star Pull-Off
- Mitas will close its first NTPA season as Official Agriculture Tire Sponsor and Title Sponsor of the Mitas National Finals Pull-Off, bringing its tractor pulling expertise and agricultural tire solutions to the championship final.
Mitas, Official Agriculture Tire Sponsor of the National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA) and Title Sponsor of the Mitas National Finals Pull-Off, will take center stage on September 19, at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio, as the NTPA Championship crowns its 2026 Grand National champions.
The 39th Mitas All-Star Pull-Off is the final Grand National event of the season and marks the culmination of Mitas' season as NTPA's Official Agriculture Tire Sponsor, as part of a three-year partnership running from 2026 through 2028. The partnership brings Mitas closer to one of North America's most demanding motorsports, where extreme horsepower, traction and durability are tested pull after pull.
At the event, Mitas will showcase tires that represent different sides of its expertise in demanding applications:
Mitas PowerPull 01 30.5L-32 is specifically developed for tractor pulling, where extreme loads and enormous engine power put every component to the test. Manufactured as a slick tire without a pre-defined tread pattern, it allows pulling teams to cut a custom tread design according to track conditions and individual setup. Its specialized compound and robust construction are engineered to provide the traction, durability and consistency required in one of motorsport's most demanding environments.
Mitas VF 750/60R46 CFO 189D HC1000, meanwhile, is designed for high-capacity self-propelled sprayers and other demanding field applications. Its Very High Flexion (VF) construction supports high load capacity at lower inflation pressures, while its wide footprint helps distribute heavy loads and maintain traction. The tread design is engineered to provide traction, durability and self-cleaning performance, delivering reliable performance when high-capacity equipment is working under demanding field conditions.
"Tractor pulling puts enormous demands on every part of the machine, including the tires, making it a great environment to demonstrate what traction, durability and reliability mean when performance is pushed to the limit," said Andrea Masella, Marketing Director at Yokohama TWS. "We are proud to support NTPA as its Official Agriculture Tire Sponsor and to bring our expertise to the Mitas All-Star Pull-Off. This partnership allows us to connect with the pulling community while highlighting the performance focus behind our agricultural tire portfolio. Pull like a Bull — on the track and in the field."
The Mitas All-Star Pull-Off will bring the 2026 NTPA season to its conclusion at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio, bringing together the sport's top competitors and fans for a celebration of tractor pulling. Mitas will be on site throughout the event, bringing these two worlds together and showing how the performance demanded on the pulling track reflects the same focus on traction, durability and reliability that defines its agricultural tire portfolio.
