The Firestone All Traction Utility I-3 is a bias tire made for agricultural uses. It goes on light construction machines such as tractors, loaders, and backhoes. This is a different option from the Firestone All Traction Utility R-4, which has a radial construction.
Firstly, the nylon cord body ensures that the Firestone All Traction Utility I-3 handles heavy loads and rough ground without easily wearing down or getting damaged. The nylon makes the model more flexible, so it can absorb bumps better, making the ride smoother. It also gives the Firestone All Traction Utility I-3 extra strength, helping it last longer and resist punctures while supporting the tractor's weight as it moves over soil, rocks, and other uneven surfaces in fields. Then, the wide buttressed lugs spread out the weight of the tractor, which helps prevent sinking into soft soil. The buttressed part means they have extra support at the base, making them more durable and resistant to wear. This design helps the tractor pull heavy loads and move smoothly through fields without slipping.
Secondly, the high void ratio absorbs bumps and shocks from uneven ground, making the ride smoother. And, when the Firestone All Traction Utility I-3 rolls, mud and dirt can fall out of these gaps. The high void ratio keeps the model cleaner and helps maintain a good grip. Also, the strong sidewalls withstand up to 10,500 lbs per single tire. They protect the lateral parts from scrubbing too. Equally important, the open shoulders don't allow excessive hot air to remain on the surface, thus keeping the rubber cooler. Finally, the available sizes on the US market start with 18'' and go up to 28'' rim diameter options.
